Oh you silly boy, of course you can, it's extremely easy, here is a video showing how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrg7nPG6_UU

Which is it then? Megacorps can enforce their TOS through the law but small companies cannot?

I mean they're basically printing money and making up new formulas to calculate GDP and inflation, 50% is low, let's aim for 500%

It's AGI dude, your calculator can't even reach the valuation multiplier needed to compute your gains. /s

Yeah and what if superman just shows up with spiderman and captain america, uh, didn't think about that?

This is pure sci-fi...

You can do a lot of damage without much gear. Train tracks, power infra, data infra, most factories, are basically free kills, they're safe because we're in peaceful societies in a peaceful era, things can move quickly if the social contract is broken.

Some dude in France just carried an attack with a ww2 sten gun, there are hundreds if not thousands of AK47s, grenades, etc. available on the black market. You can buy drone ready fiber optics cans on aliexpress, thermal/night vision cameras, etc.

Military tech is good but you still need people to follow orders, I very much doubt they'd side with the sociopath tech execs, nor their governments.

Half of Europe is having protests and riot right now because they understand their future is fucked, if it keeps going that way I have no doubt it'll get worse, people who have nothing to lose won't be stopped by robots

> Kings didn’t have robots that gather resources and make more robots, that make killer robots, exponentially.

We still live in a finite, constrained, physical world that has to obey the laws of physics. We have a looong time before we get fully autonomous self replicating decentralised robot armies.

I think people conflate the real world, sci fi and their wet dreams a bit too much.

We're at the "this thing is kinda useful sometimes but still mostly annoying" part, not at the "skynet in 48hrs" part

Luxury for NPCs perhaps

Farmers attacking king's armies weren't so different from an army of average joe with a hunting rifle attacking killer robots imho.

Even like 1-2% of the adult population going in the streets with makeshift weapons is enough to take over any country on this planet.

Data centers are extremely easy to disable too, take down power, data or both

Re:OLED iPad Mini on Monday October 26, 2026 @10:38AM (#50244512)
"Marketing doesn't work on me" type of people calling Apple a luxury... they have above 50% market share on phones and tablets in the US
Who's been arrested?

What about the blatant nepotism in the administration? Kushner &co?

Daily reminder that Trump shilled goya fucking beans from the oval office lmao

If AI delivers what accelerationists wants it to deliver you don't need to find a "meaning", you need a complete revamp of the financial, economical and political systems
Re:Challenge Is Gone on Sunday October 25, 2026 @09:57AM (#50231663)
Writing code is arguably completely useless and dumb too
Yeah you also have Hegseth, Trump, still no arrest for the Epstein files, etc.

Don't boast too much about the US lmao

> The rioters are causing damage they themselves will have to pay for in taxpayer dollars. So their cost of living will go up.

Pensions cost 400+ billions a year, it's not the couple of millions of euros of damage that will change anything.

How much damage happened during the 1789 revolution? What about he US civil war?

If that's how you read the situation you're a complete tool

> That's how it works. Until there's so much rioting the police can't deal with it

Hundreds of videos of riot police beating kids and women, kids lost eyes, hands, feet, etc.

Zero video of the police intervening during the looting, not a single police officer in any of the looted streets

You're too naive, the whole thing was allowed to happen for purely political reasons. 99% of protesters were peaceful, those were heavily attacked by police Non politically motivated casseurs were allowed pillaged, barely any were arrested, these streets were devoid of police forces

The far right gets to blame migrants as usual

The center right (in charge right now) gets to blame the "UlTrA left"

The left gets fucked

Medias exclusively talk about the riots for days, the original demands are completely forgotten, boomers get behind the government for "LaW AnD OrDeR"

> It seems French society will soon embark on the path to total VPNization.

Don't worry we'll embark on the protofascism path before and it'll bring its own share of problems

Even out of political reasoning, they are rigged for engagement and as it turns out fear mongering and hate bring a lot of engagement.

What are people going to watch between a 3 hours in depth debate about the future of the country on topics such as ecology, finance, social security and pension systems VS hundreds of reels about ImMiGrAnT RiOtS in paris?

Teach your kids how to garden, shoot guns and torrent

It's over for the US they will never wake up no matter how bad things get. It's so comically bad you'd imagine the so called well-regulated militia would have intervened by now

idk where you live but vegetarianism is a hot topic in europe and in ecological circles, the problem is that you get borderline aggressed by meat eaters when you open your mouth about the topic.

Most people are too brainwashed to even start self reflecting about their meat consumption, everybody talk about data centers because we're spending 5x more on them since LLMs became the new messiah: https://ourworldindata.org/cdn-cgi/imagedelivery/qLq-8BTgXU8...

Re:Google cleared 300 hectares of Finnish forest on Thursday October 22, 2026 @01:32PM (#50198500)
The problem with your reasoning is that nothing ever matters, because you can always divide things in smaller and smaller chunks and in the end "it's really not that bad it's only 0.x percent of emissions/pollution/etc"

Can't wait until we get rid of all this undeveloped forests for more buildings and roads!

Re:Google cleared 300 hectares of Finnish forest on Thursday October 22, 2026 @01:28PM (#50198438)
> So Google reduced the forested land by 0.00000013%

Hacker news strikes again with mathematical genius tier logic...

If I kill your first born son that's only like 0.00000013% of the mass of living creatures, who cares right?

Are we still pretending people love technological megacorps, LLMs and datacenters?

There is nothing interesting nor perplexing lmao

Stop watching sci fi my dude, there is 0% chance we leave the solar system and probably even earth.

It's not a video game, there is no speed run, there is nothing out there for us, what's the hurry with burning and destroying our home planet ? Do you think we'll have it better on Mars lmao?
