Right now, Ai is a party trick.

Tomorrow, Ai will inform the FBI that #29933 is planning on murdering his sister, and deploy a team of armed drones to escort him to prison, if he makes it.

Tomorrow, the department stores and supermarkets will be empty and you’ll pick up your groceries from an automated warehouse that inserts them into your car.

Tomorrow, the mail bot will barf your mail into a labeled box, wherin you’ll find your prescription medication, bottled labeled and packaged by nobody, which you take right after you go out to eat at an empty restaurant, where your food is brought to you by an automated track that says tHaNk Yo in an inhuman tone before cutting off too soon.

No conversations, no traveling, no hassle, no humanity, or sincerity whatsoever.

hooray?

Why the fuck is everyone so stoked about this? Vending-machine land sounds insufferable.

If China is socialist then Lipton is tea.

Look into the country on the shallowest level. They have socialist programs but, honestly…

Those old Datsun Sentras were goat.

A tiny notch under the ek Civic, but just as rugged.

they couldn’t use the Societs anymore as an enemy.

“Woah, Cowabunga!”

Nope!

They’re an idea company that makes cars on the side.

how’d you find the guy?

Easy. We had a list of the fifteen or so guys that did that specific part of the job, we got their IP addresses, watched them for a while, and as it turns out, two of them regularly use a VPN and send all of their traffic to Canada.

How long do you think it would take to figure out whether or not which one of these boys are harmless software pirates, or their man?

People do all of the work in the world without knowing that your preparation will blow your cover.

Have you ever visited TailsOS’s website off of a VPN? Could the Feds find out? Do you think the other guys have the same level of deniability?

That trail is not washing off. You even knowing or having a history of using a Linux iso is suspicion enough if the rest of the suspects are all boring chuds.

…truth?

Run your own yt-dlp frontend. Punchflat… or one of the many other solutions out there. Dump your subs to a folder and let Jellyfin turn them into individual shows with episodes.

I shouldn’t have to do that!

Don’t tell me. Tell Google, or… pay them, I guess. Your call. I’ll be over here turning my lemons into lemonade. You do whatever you want with yours.

It’s fucking fantastic news, tbh.

Here’s my take, let them dismiss it.

Let em! Remember Bitcoin at $15k after 2019?

Let em! And it’s justified! If Ai isn’t important right now, then why should its price be inflated to oblivion? Let it fall. Good! Lower prices for those of us that do see the value down the road.

That’s how speculative investment works. In no way is this bad. Are sales bad? Sit back and enjoy the show.

Well, down the list we go…

Maybe you and the ten douchebags that downvoted me could laugh a little easier if your heads weren’t so far up your own asses.

I bought this and knew Elon was crazy

I went looking for a patreon or donation page… Guys who get hit with this should just go that route. He doesn’t have a general one up.

We can’t control the bullshit, but we can side-step it.

Doesn’t matter to a kid with a phone and unlimited time and willpower. I know with 100% certainty, if I was 16 and wanted to play Balatro, I wouldn’t be talking to you, I’d have an .apk already.

Storefront? Lmao.

From a climate standpoint, my gasoline car does indeed kill fascism.

I could’ve been an absolute prude about it, but there is viable effort, set design, costuming, and work.

It’s written like ass, but hey, trash in, trash out.

born of it, moulded by it…

Yeah just aim Ai at climate change and solve it for everybody, thanks.

Oh, that isn’t an option? Guess we’re still fucked, then.

I watch my YouTube content pre-downloaded by punchflat on my private Jellyfin instance just like everybody else!

Nah. I’m just gonna steal it all for free. Thanks, tho.
