That’s why they want everything recorded, survailled and archived.

These apps are all interconnected in that everything gets sold and eventually ends up in the Palantir databse entry for you.

They are all dangerous.

Never going to happen, even if every American tech company shut their doors tomorrow, Chinese models would fill the void and the exact same shit would happen.

AI is here to stay, permanently.

Never underestimate just how corrupting it is giving marginalized people any semblance of power.

They are basically taking out their frustrations on the family cat except we’re the cat.

Because it gets you to click the article.

Pis are extremely popular for home labs, they can be used in tons of different ways.

It’s a rumor from a guy who heard a thing from a dude who knows someone that overheard this other guy while walking past a hallway where two people happened to be speaking about something they read online.

If you want to believe it, you’re free to do so, god have mercy on you though, you probably believe a lot of very stupid things.

I’m going to retire at 40, I think I’ll keep going instead of listening to you.

I love my job, even when I have to deal with nonsense like that and I’m compensated very well to be on call 24/7.

It can but I’m not looking to make things even more complicated. We have enough unexplained non-sense in the project as is, having to link it correctly is just endless pain that I don’t want to deal with.

I’ve completely banned any code that can’t be explained. I’ve had my CTO send me code at 3 AM to implement and when I ask him what I’m looking at he just says it doesn’t need review, just push it.

Uhh, no sir, I’m not doing shit because you’ve handed me GCC and we’re MSVC.

After I bitched endlessly to the CEO about that he said I have final say on what goes into the project.

Me whenever I see pizzacake posted.

Tech companies cozying up with the government?

Oh boy it must be a day ending in y.

Seriously, this has been happening forever. Hell, when Snowden leaked Bush/Obama’s prism program, the response was a collective yawn.

And who is the arbiter of unreasonable? Sony.

It’s their policy, they get to determine what is unreasonable, not some independent neutral third party.

“I only work at evil corporation, I pull the levers doing the day to day evil stuff, but you gotta understand, I’m a good guy, being evil is just my paycheck.”

This is so easily gamed. Make social media accounts of people you don’t like, be extremely toxic towards Sony on them.

Watch that person get their accounts nuked from orbit.

Do that until someone sues Sony.

This is the sort of bullshit that companies intentionally put out to get back good PR. “It wasn’t us, it was the shadowy execs!”

It’s PR 101, blame nameless people that may or may not exist and you get the good will back on your side as the hatred is focused on people that either don’t care or don’t exist.

I mean, actively silencing people because they can’t afford a lawyer to defend themselves is pretty much all you need to be a piece of shit. Parody has repeatedly been upheld as fair use, however you still have to appear and defend yourself and that takes time and money, more than most people have. So in effect C&D letters become one sided sledgehammers when used against average people.

To be fair, she’s heavily protected, to the point where criticism will get you banned and she throws around cease and desist letters to anyone parodying her work.

She has more than earned the scorn she gets, she just also happens to be a woman on the internet and that comes with sexism by default.

There has yet to be a single group that has not been lampooned by SP. You take umbrage with it because it’s finally targeted a group you care about.

Hell, you can be trans in the South Park game and the entire community rallies around to support you.

Just because you are not rah-rah-rah cheered 24/7 by literally everyone and everything does not mean something is transphobic. It’s was just your turn on the mocking wheel, which is good, it means you’re being treated just like everyone else. Which is the entire fucking point, that you’re no different from any other human.
