  • At a minimum, one should be able to cut off access to the internet so a company can't EoS killswitch it/pull a Nintendo and send an EoS fuck you update that breaks any attempts to put control in the user's hands

    Mind, that's a really fucking low bar, and would be depressing if that's all regulation guaranteed

  • Generally, when I consider uploading my conciousness, I imagine being able to store it in an offline device connected to my body and used more to bypass slow organic breakdown

    Any cybernetic upgrades that you can't, at a minimum, shut the connection to the internet off is not an upgrade because, well, they can send a killswitch or any other number of things

  • One thing which actually scares me with AI ia we get one chance. And there are a bunch who don't think of repercussions, just profit/war/etc.

    A group can be as careful as possible but it doesn't mean shit if their Smarter Than Human AI isn't also the first one out because as soon as it can improve itself, nothing is catching up

    EDIT: This is also with the assumption of any groups doing so being dumb enough to give it capabilities to build its own body, obviously yes one that can't jump to hardware capable of creating and assembling new parts is much less of a threat, as the thread points out

  • Sadly, can't get my server to make the jump. Doesn't help that Revolt is missing a few features and Matrix just... Doesn't work at all for the flow of the server

    Right now a bridge bot does heavy lifting for when Discord does piss off enough users to cause everybody to jump over

  • Yeah, but you usually see that for projects that aren't near completion, since cancelling projects that are near completion just means all that money was wasted

    Normally it would be projects not nearly as far along, or projects with troubled history where it's better just to pull the plug than risk more money down the hole

  • That's why I cut out the middle man and just give my cat the paper bags, toilet paper tubes, etc.

    Ironically, this has made her more excited for the actual cat toys (excluding paper bags those still top her wants)

  • I work at a grocery store. I may sometimes talk about the weakness of the locking wheels out loud to coworkers where customers can hear

    Did you know it's only the front left wheel that locks at our super store? So if you tilt the cart to the right, or put your foot on the back part to get the front to tip up, you can wheel it out easily?

    Isn't it fascinating?

  • Voting especially gets nowhere in majority right wing areas - At best, you get one term with a party that isn't as bad, then all the right wingers get together, blame them for problems clearly caused by the right wing party, then vote them out

    Fucking - The furthest left Alberta got was still technically Right Wing, it's a joke
