  • TL;DR: It suggests several methods and makes a few mistakes which he had to point out to which it suggests even more absurd solutions to.

    The AI recommends doing things in long and hard ways and does not conceive of new or novel technologies; it just mashes together existing ones despite their implementation being difficult or impossible by simply waving away these issues by saying things like "Much research and development would be needed but..."

  • Muahahahahahahaha.

    Looks like we found a relatively easy way to "poison" an AI dataset silently. Just feed it AI output.

    I could see this mechanic being exploited by websites to provide a bottomless amount of junk text that only a bot doing content scraping would see.

  • only trigger if and only if you owe a debt on something to someone within your visual range.

    It would seem you didn't understand my message.

    No; you could not exploit it in this way. If you do not intend to pay a person then you do not need the money and have no debt you are seeking to pay. The generated cash would simply vanish from your pocket.

    That cash is leaving your pocket one way or another; either by willing to pay somebody and actually doing it or it vanishing.

  • You can't always control memory recall; even in perfect health.

    Similarly you can't always control events around you, nor can you control things that you may do and later come to regret. All of these small things will add up cumulatively over time. Perfect recall is a shortcut to mental health problems.

  • No; not infinite.

    Limitless yes, but it is limited by the fact that it only fills your pocket when you're expected to pay for something. Therefore you'd be inconvenienced by anything that does not expect you to pay up front cash for a thing, and you'd need someone to tell you the exact amount you need to pay them to cause the pocket to generate the cash as well as the amount would be limited by the size of your pocket(s) and/or purse(s) for containing money.

    Despite that you could definitely live "comfortably".

  • I'm assuming that #5 is limited by the space in your pockets/purse and would only trigger if and only if you owe a debt on something to someone within your visual range. Additionally they would need to speak to you verbally what exact amount you need to trigger the pocket filling.

    Thus; you could not likely pull out amounts even exceeding a few hundred thousand without some really clever planning.

    I'm also assuming you will never simply pull a check out of your pocket, this superpower is CASH ONLY, which burdens you with the advantages and disadvantages of cash.

  • I choose 4 and 7.

    • 1: This is genuinely a blurse; you really don't want to understand everything everyone ever says.
    • 2: This is genuinely a curse; You will remember every little thing that happens to you and it will haunt you forevermore.
    • 3: This is mostly useless and will lead to you being exploited.
    • 4: This is very good.
    • 5: This is worthless; unless this acts like an infinite money glitch.
    • 6: This is highly dangerous. You'd better not fall into a coma; nobody would be able to help you.
    • 7: This is good; and it would be mostly useful; even if you were required to keep it a secret from everyone.
    • 8: This is absolutely the most useless one yet. Eh, at least it's probably harmless.
  • This is a highly loaded question.

    You are making a number of very poor assumptions based on a number of ridiculous misconceptions.

    The average, everyday, human adult is fully capable of understanding their own personal "threat landscape". How they deal with that will vary.

    For most; if not all, average consumers; their concerns are still very limited. They're not so much concerned with the provenance, the history, of companies...they just want to duck for the oncoming threats in their landscape. These metaphorical tree branches are what they're ducking under. They have no logical need to fear the entire tree.

    Personally, I choose not to live like Stallman, nor do I have fears of big state repercussions like Snowden does. Neither does your average consumer. Functionality is the top priority. Functionality on-par with the CSSC (Closed-Source Software, Corporate) competitor is critical. If the FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) version can do exactly what people typically want and expect it to do AND cost less monetarily AND can impact their privacy way less than using the CSSC competitor would, then it will be adopted by many and loved by all who use it.

    This isn't to say that privacy does not matter.

    It simply means that privacy is a spectrum; and everyone has varying privacy wants and needs. For some reason, a large potion of the "tech-savvy" people in the FLOSS community feel the need to measure their superiority in "How private their systems are." The average user does not give a damn about that dick measuring contest; and really would rather not be bothered. They just want the amount of privacy that is right for them, and their specific situation.

    It is best to put your ego aside when discussing privacy, or helping someone else to discover and improve their own privacy.

  • As a former tech associate at Staples; I can easily attest to how annoyed my bosses were that I always pushed people to buy laser printers.

    Their reasoning was simple; the bosses hated the volume at which we sold toner; and literally nothing else...once I had paired all of their problem customers with drama-free laser printers that would stay in operation for at least 5 years.

    Nobody who bothered to ask my professional opinion on printers and actually took it seriously bought anything but a Laser Printer. Many of the shitty DRM riddled Inkjets actually collected dust on those shelves unless they were sold by someone more clueless than I.

  • That's actually pretty cool science there!

  • You do not want to know about E through P.

  • this tbh.

  • I would condemn Google; but it clearly states that a record label is targeting NewPipe; and not Google.

    Is this a very chilling action for Google to take? You bet your ass it is! While I won't blame them outright for this; it is now blatantly evident that Google has stopped spending legal money to defend against DMCA actions against things that they or their parent company Alphabet clearly do not like.

    This is a blatant violation of Google and by extension Alphabet's founding ethos; which is to "Do No Evil." The 'Enshittification of Alphabet' has reared it's ugly head again and it's evident that is running through the company unchecked.

    I recommend people continue to use projects like NewPipe, Invidious and Piped as well as federated alternates such as PeerTube. I would also urge all large creators to begin archival of their footage on PeerTube itself if possible and to look into spinning up a PeerTube instance for their content to be hosted ON...so that their content does not vanish with Youtube as it steadily "Enshitifies" itself to death. Do this now while the Youtube monetization train is still chugging so that you can get your fans onboard and willing to fund the instance so they don't lose your content.

    A note to creators: It will be easier to run off of Patreon and sponsors when on PeerTube; once Youtube has fallen.

  • Wow.

    As a former Texan; this really doesn't surprise me. It's why I got out of Texas.

    It does also confirm something I have long feared has settled into conservative viewpoints...a hysteria so vast that it would engender and encourage the unchecked growth of facism.

    I implore anyone reading this who is of voting age in the USA right now and is able to vote legally...to vote Democrat.

    I'm not saying the Dems are without problems; but they at least don't seem to be focused on becoming facist.

  • To be honest I can't say I blame you; It's absolutely impossible to get people to move away from a platform without a hard reason.

    It's absurd how often people in general are simply afraid to simply read their screen and try new things on a device.

  • ProtonVPN explicitly denies Torrenting in their ToS when you are a FREE user. You must purchase their service before torrenting.

  • It would be helpful if we knew what VPN provider you are using.

    Please note: if your VPN provider costs you nothing; you are the product and you are absolutely using the wrong VPN! It is expected that you use a reputable, No Logs, Torrent-Friendly Paid VPN for best "torrenting-compatible" privacy results. These can run anywhere from $5 to $75 USD depending on what payment term and plan you run.

  • Thank you! All of their users were the usual freeze peach trolls and needed the yeeting.

  • No, you are incorrect.
