From the same company that demands high school transcripts and club affiliations for engineers 20+ years out of high school.

Creepy as hell company. Had a good free Linux distro, but it's not that good anymore. It's coasting on inertia these days.

And the real answer that needs to be done is a charge PER FLOCK DEVICE of criminal trespass, per day.

And the charge needs to be applied via RICO to all the C levels and the board of directors.

This doesn't abrogate the paid contract. But you trespass the owners of said hardware after being formally notified for removal.

A counter-example: how well received would it be if I made a solar/camera/battery/cell device that was called "PigSty" and only tracked police vehicles? How would the city/county/state go after me for those devices?

That's my thoughts here.

We have these LLM tools, and the questions is "We have X amounts of sargasso algae, and it bioaccumulates arsenic. What bioremedative pathways to accumulate and extract arsenic, in order to heal the oceans, make safer food, and get pure arsenic for the silicon GaAs Industry?"

I've a friend who has access to base 3d printers, and can print up to 12k RNA base pairs. We're now at the point of growing our own remediation.

The LLMs are sold as a panacea. Time to start having them carry their salt, or their gallium arsenide and silicon.

The big answer is not some "war on..." But instead "how can we eat it?" Or "Can it be reprocessed into something useful?"

I put out 5(4) candles for him!

That's a dumb game.

I know the first one I got was the anachronistic Irish and the clones. No clue of the episode name.

I know it's 2nd season cause it's Pulaski as doctor. I liked her over Crusher. And she called the clones' bluff immediately!

I disagree.

I've been watching Iceland news, along with machine translation of Icelandic.

Right now, they're increasing taxes on parking, toll roads, 30% increase on hotels and B&B's, and per-kilometer driving tax.

It's insane the amount of taxes on taxes on taxes. And foreigners not in the know are about to get whalloped for $1000 extra around the ring road.

Sure, Iceland isn't EU proper. But they are Schengen along with other alliances. EU complaint stands, given they tax tax tax tax.

Shrimp are water bugs. People dont seem to have any problems with those bugs, aside anaphylaxis.

"I'd rather be a pig than a fascist"

JSTOR also chose not to "pursue legal action". And the DOJ also told them 'fuck off we'll do what we like' and still pursued charges against Aaron Schwartz.

So, why isnt the DOJ pursuing this? As far as the reportings go, their LLMs went bananas hacking everywhere and everything.

That was kinda the way IPv5 proposed to handle it.

But the big big problem isn't windows/Linux/mac. Writing drivers for those are "easy".

The problem lies in all the networking gear speaks only IPv4 and/or 6. LLM assisted hacks can get into maintenance areas, but these devices are also built to support the least amount of things. Like, there may not be enough ram or storage to even run it.

And 20 years in, you see how well IPv6 has taken off :eyeroll:

And even on my network, I disabled IPv6. My upstream ISP is doing something that makes '6 unstable, but '4 is fine. And I find most network engineers don't have to maintain '6, so they never really learn it.

My anecdote:

I created an account, specifically cause I found a few questions that I knew the answers to, and could cite properly.

So, I answered 2. All is good...

Next day, 1 is marked as dupe (?!) and there's literally no other answers. So, duping what? Nope, not permitted to know that.

The other answer, some braindead idiot mod decided to change my answer to wrong garbage. No request to change. No verification. No nothing.

Shortly thereafter, those 2 responses were downmodded, leaving my karma negative. So basically, can't do anything. So I left. I'll spend my time on communities that actually give a fuck, cause SO didn't.

Yeah, Goodwill is pretty much a scam these days, for everyone either working for or buying from. It used to be better. Not great, but at least they used to serve the community.

And since they opened up their auction site (like an early eBay) it's just gone upside down stupid.

I'm also unsure how they even keep their 501c3 status.

Hmm.

So this should also be an entry point to disable the yellow dots tracking, and also save Y ink.

I was looking more at quantity of posts, and not as much upvotes.

But nope, my original comment is flagged. Le sigh.

Show me your nudes then.

Publish your bank accounts.

Publish your private messages to friends, family, partner.

These idiots who say "nothing to hide" usually have the most to hide, and lose. And they can't see how something yesterday was legal and today isn't, can still be used against you.

First, copyright violation as non-profit is a tort.

Secondly, it's only for-profit copyright violations that are a crime. But as OFCOM learned the hard way, stuff illegal in the US can be legal elsewhere.

Thirdly, for some fucking reason, the US AI companies are immune to criminal statutes of for-profit copyright violations. Job creators, or some bullshit.

And I'm not sure exactly why you're so dead-set on "crime crime crime". It's all politics and manufactured criminality. And well, I don't particularly care if backing up my movies to a Jellyfin and sharing access is "ill eagle".

The AI companies are bulk pirating AND then selling that access.... But I'm the criminal? Fuck that noise.

They exist because of GeoIP databases, and spying on "quality of IP address via ASN".

If you try to use a normal VPN, you get rate limited or blocked everywhere. But if you switch to a residential proxy, all those problems go away.

To be fair, if all you're doing is torrenting or similar copyright infringing actions, then a simple VPN is sufficient. But if you want to do web stuff, you gotta use a residential vpn. Not much way around this.

Yeah it's definitely sketchy, but a "media access box" that purports to replace $100 a month in streaming bills with pirate media is kinda awesome.

Of course, the countries the Jellyfin and Plex servers along with IPTV dealers aren't illegal there.

And sure, your device becomes a residential proxy. They don't make that fact clear... But if you told people, I think for that $100-$200 a month streaming bills go poof is probably worth it.

And just how many deaths do capitalists and capitalist policies inflict? We never see *those* numbers.

This is just one instance: a hepatitis drug named Solvaldi. Costs $1000 a pill, need 84 pills for full course. How much does the drug actually cost? $300 and you can make it with the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective's chemistry reactor.

But why is this capitalist deaths? Cause 5 million people per year die from Hepatitis. And this drug is a *cure*. But insurance wont pay the $84000 needed for the cure. So they get maintenance drugs that dont cure, and those people die from it needlessly.

And the numbers are going up to 6 million a year of needless capitalist deaths, from a single drug.

We can easily look at corporate death panels, err, I mean medical insurance. Its insurance fraud if we lie, but to them, they can just deny treatment and wait out the death clock.

Capitalism is even more extractive and devastating on the populace. And instead of "capitalism causes X million deaths a year", nope, its a individual's fault. Its always the individuals fault, no matter how systemic the problem is.

This is just a blatant ad hominem, and more shows on your character that'd you'd attack a person, rather than the ideas/claims.

Who cares what the person describes themselves as. Do the claims being made validate with evidence, or not enough evidence, or are invalidated BY evidence?

If the claims are valid and provable, who cares about some label-bingo.

One can agree to the findings in Das Kapital, and also not agree to the claims of the Communist Manifesto.

And to be fair, quite a few of the findings are basically restatements from Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. Then again, most 'economists' rarely ever get past page 30 of that treatise, like all the "unseen hands that realllly have to prevent monopolies etc etc etc"

Everybody who works for money is exploited. Not if theyre exploited, but how much.

And yeah, humans are being bought per hour to do AI training. Ok. Are they at least paid decently? Of course not! The surplus (work's worth - wages) is always captured by the Capitalist class.

Do they have to look at horrible content? Yeah. Part of the job and the danger when dealing with use-uploaded content. Is the problem just the horrible content, or is it about pay?

Also, this is regarding US AI companies according to the map. How are the Chinese doing their LLM training? Internally? Global South as well? Wherever they're doing it, is their pay better? Cause this map doesnt have anything regarding China... Or the EU either.

Lets be blunt. The whole "The End is coming", Antichrist, the "Beast", the "Whore of Babylon"... The whole lot of it reads like a really bad bronze age fantasy novel.

Just go have a look https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/References_to_the_Antichrist_i... and see what's said directly, and all the allegations of 'well that there looks like the Antichrist', when its someone people disagree with.

The whole really dumb part is that if you engage in zombie cannibalism, somehow erases all the bad stuff you did. Be as horrible as you want, but you eat that "body that was formally known as a cracker" that Sunday, and magically everything's alright. Yeah, uh huh. Still makes you a horrible person. But this whole Christ/Antichrist is part of this whole mythology, and it's off the rails.

Uh huh.

And when you're "wrong in isolation of the task to complete" is completely legal, you still want to destroy engineers and developers. That engineer doesnt know your illegal shit plan to do horrible thing. Most engineers, if told to do illegal stuff, would refuse.

That C level DOES know the illegal plan to do horrible thing, and their staff attorneys said you could make $20 billion, and pay $1 billion in fines if caught. I say RICO the fucking C levels for an ongoing criminal conspiracy, and depending how severe, death penalty.

And remember, we're talking about Samsung violating wiretapping laws, which is a criminal crime, and not some tort. I want blood here from management who ordered this, not a few dollars on a godsdamned voucher to buy yet another Scamsung device.

But no, your idea is to blame the rank and file folks who have maybe 5% of the plan, and legal at that, and blame them. Nah, you sound like a simp.

Again, you sound like a C level, with throwing everyone not an executive under the bus.

Executives can make the actual illegal and horrible plan, and divy up the work in pieces, so that labor is not aware of exactly what they're constructing. Executives have the complete picture. Its their idea. They know what's going on.

The microphone? It could be a voice interaction tool.

The spyware? Thats logging and monitoring of bugs for patches.

Automated image recognition? Again, more sketchy, but legal, and used to optimize those avenues of usage.

Its only the pieces used *in illegal ways* as ordered by executives that are the problem. If you're not a C level yourself, not sure why you're simping for them.

And the Samsung violating criminal statutes with wiretapping laws is the problem. I would rather blame the company, C levels first. 50 million years (5 years per, 10 million devices sold) of jailtime should be sufficient with dissolution and disbursement to all affected buyers of hardware. And, jailing of the C levels. But instead, you want to go after the electronic engineer who designed a PCB with a microphone. Yeah, im sure *he or she* had plans on creating spy devices across the world.

Found the C level.

There's plenty good reasons to have microphones in products. The simple obvious one is voice control. Legality and illegality all depends how it's used and controlled. And the company is controlling this remotely.

And your rank and file engineer or software dev is going to have low/no understanding of the subterfuge and illegality that the Executive class puts together as a final product. The features are possible, but the labor only knows their pieces. Executives are the ones selling illegally gotten data to "their 500 sponsors".

Wiretapping is a felony in most jurisdictions with 5 years prison per instance.

How many years is it for 10 million devices?

So... Wiretapping is pretty clear violation. And it's punished severely in most jurisdictions (eg: OpenAI engineer installing wiretaps).

So, this is wiretapping at a mass scale. Just how many crimes do the executive class occur before they get turned into the past-tense... The executed class?

I am for a corporate death penalty. Companies that engage in such mass criminal activities do not deserve to exist.

Idiots who say "vote with your wallet" are buying into the billionaire idea of "1$ = 1 vote".

Guess who that benefits? Not you or me.
