We're more likely to go to neo-feudalism before either.

When someone will embrace anything to harm you, you have to be prepared to weaponize the same things.

Democracy is dying anyway. It's not sustainable anymore. Enjoy the ride and wait and see if there's any opportunity for you.
Evil people involved in that organization anyway.

It's not possible for the simple minds of peon workers. For ubermensch executives it's well within their ability.

Have you tried asking the CIA?

Ever read HN comments? That's basically what this site is for.

You sound like a radical and a criminal. I thank God AI will advance crime prediction technology here soon.
Yes but sadly those people continue to live and vote
Corporations should make the laws.
> Since removing the office from my life, I think I spend more time at home and more time in social spaces.

Same here, I got out a lot more when I was WFH, even when I was hybrid, I would get out even on weekday afternoons/evenings and socialize a bit.

But we were just dragged in office full time again, and it's once again rare for my to step outside after work. Now I'm more likely to be mental exhausted and spend my time napping, and consuming low energy entertaining before the next day.

The data hoarders are just a greedy sometimes. I can across a story of some lost media the other day, that supposedly had at least one physical copy remain, but no copies would be made, so that the holder could jack the price up on ebay.

I just wish it was easier to browse. Maybe it's just me, but I find navigating to what I'm looking for on their site painful every time I try.
What can you expect from a substance blog tbf.
I could never understand why people expect everything to be static and never change.

Re:Programmers Don't Read Books – But You Should (2008) on Thursday August 15, 2024 @07:36PM (#41261645)
I saw an HN thread a while back where someone recommended a comprehensive book on some networking subject. I'm sure it was a good book, I was floored when I saw physical copies being sold fucking $700.

Unfortunately, a lot of the technical books I wish to read fall into this grift of academic texts.

At this point I'm convinced judges are among the most corrupt, despicable government officials in the US.
Hopefully the people running the scams will eventually just get lynched

Maybe try starting a cult instead of a company, you'll find more idiots willing to be true believers in whatever bullshit you've cooked up.

> So by utilizing this kind of strategy you select for the employees you least want.

Unless the employees you want are those that can be easily controlled.

> Good thing those are the things people need to live?

Not but those are the sort of things people who say stuff like this need to you to purchase to keep you complaisant

Re:Where Facebook's AI Slop Comes From on Wednesday August 07, 2024 @08:12AM (#41180570)
Pretty much what I expected. It was very obvious to me it was just engagement hacking for money when I saw damn near every one has a list of irrelevant celebrity hashtags attached at the end.

Still, there are ones even stranger than the trash AI images targeting the attention of idiots. I saw a post seemingly advertising a real book, but for some reason, in the content of the post. The claimed the book was written by [Person A] while the photo of the book they posted clearly noted the author as [Person B]. Didn't seem like a simple accident either. The actual author had a name that looked to be of middle eastern origin, while the fale author was some west-African insert.
