  • Department of Government Efficiency is the name of the department that ends up involved in creating Soylent green or some crazy human organ harvesting thing.

    This sets off all sorts of red flags that bother the shit out of me. Like I'll take boring dystopia over human slaughterhouses TYVM

  • Yeah my management was all gungho about exploiting AI to do all sorts of stuff.

    Like read. Not generative AI crap, but read. They came to us and said quite literally: "how can we use something like ChatGPT and make it read."

    I don't know who or how they convinced them to use something that wasn't generative AI, but it did convince me that managers think someone being convincing and confident is correct all the time.

  • Yeah, and that fuckwits name was Paul von Hindenburg in Germany.

    The fall of the Roman Republic was way more complex though wasn't it? Like the Senate killed Ceaser and then voted to give his son unlimited tenure as Commander In Chief? There's a lot to unpack there

  • Oh good lord.

    You know, it's kind of weird to me that there are republicans stating he won't be confirmed, which, also has me wondering, does that mean he does not have a senate full of Yes men?

    Trump isn't going to like that, so I assume they will change their mind after a little private one on one meeting with him.

  • We don't! That's the best part about having a country full of idgafologists and sociopaths.

    The answer is Guns, and more guns.

    But people seem to not understand how fucking outgunned the population is versus the military.

  • I don't think Trump is capable of admiration, and I also don't think it's dirt keeping him in check.

    It might simply be that Trump is that stupid. The parallels between descriptions of Trump and Hitler are striking as well.

    If Trump doesn't respond to the international humiliation it will be intentional, otherwise if he got his way with the Unitary Executive Power, then he'd just glass Russia and be free from that chain (while probably getting lots of us killed).

    The only thing we know for certain is Russian propaganda is rarely intended for Western audiences.

  • I was going to say "doubt" because I've seen various smart bulb development prototypes (ancient technology by now), but then it occurred to me that once you nix the parts that drive LEDs from AC, you got yourself a nice lil mc board. With some fancy soldering (better than anything I could do) you could probably get access to a couple extra pins. If you can get access to whatever reprogramming interface it has on just one, youve now got yourself a fligh controller. You'll need a radio, but I imagine Russia has something for that, or maybe they have something fancy with whatever the 2.4Ghz radio provides.

    Then you need PWM signals for motor control and you need an accelerometer and gyro. Every phone and your grandmother has those. Program in your flight software to fly the drone the way you want with all the sensors and radios. Then you just need a battery adapter and escs for the BLDCs.

    If you get a shipment of 10k bulbs and have a process for extracting it - you got up to 10k drone brains.

  • Would it though? I mean like the sex doll thing is still taboo, something about enabling predation or something (which doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering they are basically rubber manikins and we don't label manikin displays as slave labor in stores... But maybe we should?)

    Idk. It would at least keep the horny at bay, at least those that could afford it.
