- Comment on Child sexual extortion cases in the UK soar: Charities warn threat of sexual extortion (or sextortion) against children ‘not diminishing’ as new data show sextortion cases soar 72% in a year. 1 day ago:
Think of it as nonconsensual AI generated CSAM. Like nonconsensual AI porn, you take public SFW photos and use the AI to generate explicit images using the provided photo as reference for the abused victim.
As for the over share library, think of all the pictures you see of peoples’ kids in your social media feed, then consider how few people take proper privacy controls on what they post (or just intentionally post them publicly for laughs/attention). All of those images can be used as the basis for generation nonconsensual AI porn/CSAM.

Can anyone say it isn’t? You’re using a valid prefix, so people will understand what you’re saying, if they have no idea in hell why you’re measuring out 1024 meters.

for desktop use as mentioned above you can easily get by with less.
Sure, as long as you’re willing to deal with the performance hit of constantly swapping to disk.
Even SSD drives are a magnitude slower that any modern RAM stick, so you’re adding TONS of processing time by running that little memory. And gods help you if your swap is on spinning rust…

I regularly use over 16-24GB of my 32 GB, and considering I just had to replace 4 8s with 2 16s, I’m honestly kinda tempted to get another pair just to have knowing the shit that’s coming down the pipe.

- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 3 days ago:
How likely is it that I got 4 to 5 bad batches over the space of as many years?
Raid and offline backups these days, I eventually learned my lesson. One of which is stay away from Seagate.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 3 days ago:
Similar reasons I hate Hitachi and Western Digital hard drives. They always fucking fail.
You misspelled Seagate.
My WD drives have been great, but my Seagates failed multiple times, causing data loss because I wasn’t properly protecting myself.

I agree with you about Wesley (🤮), but that’s not really relevant to this book?
Cory recorded the audio himself to my understanding (listened to his appearance on the QAA podcast), and it sounds like his voice reading it on the linked podcast.
- Comment on Cory Doctorow New Book: Enshitification 6 days ago:
If you actually read the Kickstarter page, he’s selling a physical and ebook version of it as well.
Also, maybe practice reading a webpage before you act pretentious about book formats.

I highly recommend the recent episode of the QAA podcast with doctriw, it’s an amazing listen!

We only caught German Nazis. In America, Nazis were in power or the heads of major corporations (See Henry Ford).

I’m not advocating for murder, I just look forward to the American Nuremberg trials and hope we get a modern day John C Woods.

That’s a much smaller pool of people than those who may willingly go along with it but object otherwise.
Stop giving thugs a pass for being thugs, just because their bosses are shit. You can attack both, this isn’t some kind of mutually exclusive action.
- Comment on Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps 1 week ago:
I understand your point, but these people know what they’re signing up for. We shouldn’t pretend these people are in anyway innocent or not culpable for their crimes. Regardless of orders, these are people who are willingly causing pain, suffering and death to innocents.
Fuck them. Fuck their bosses. None of them get any credit or sympathy. I don’t care if they started when ice was formed, they know what their orders are and are still there, what they signed up for is entirely immaterial. Also, ice was shit from the start, so even less sympathy from me.
Regardless, attacking the people following orders doesn’t change the orders, we should be attacking the top.
Making people hesitant to throw in with the brownshirts for fear of social reprisal is a perfectly valid strategy for attacking the top. Make less people want to participate in their crimes makes it harder for them to do crimes.
- Comment on Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps 1 week ago:
Yeah, don’t blame the brownshirts kicking teeth in, blame the government that hires them /s
They volunteered for this, they can sleep in the pit for it in the end.

- Comment on The U.S. is interested in acquiring machine-learning technology to carry out AI-generated propaganda campaigns overseas. 1 week ago:
It’s hard to fix the problem when MAGAts are fucking morons. My dipshit moron uncle tried that shit on me recently, and tried to compare “what we’ve suffered the last 4 years” as if the fascist authoritarian crackdowns we are seeing are anywhere near anything under Biden.
These people are willingly and gladly stupid/ignorant and refuse anything that refutes the inaccurate worldview in their heads. I’m trying when I can, but talking to these dumbasses is infuriating at times (probably intentionally to keep people from being able to disabuse them of their ignorance).

Man, vibe coders really think highly of themselves and their AI outputs.
As someone who actually understands the language used in AI generated scripts, AI is shit at writing code. It sometimes gets decent wins and helps me figure out something quicker than without, but I can count on my fingers the number of times I’ve gotten a good, and usable, bit of code from it. Vastly more often than not, I have to edit the code to make it run (because it hallucinates functions, parameters, and constantly uses reserved variables even after being corrected dozens of times) only to find out it doesn’t even give the right output, or more often, outputs nothing at all.
You show the quality of your knowledge by the inverse of the trust you put in AI code. It’s decent at blocking out basic things, but anything past that is a crapshoot at best
