Doesn’t matter, they’ll get blocked like all the rest.

Both I reckon. The old ones are all offline of course.

Then they will always be useless as standalone trustworthy agents.

I’m ancient, but I learned both to use the computer and English when I started gaming on the family Amiga at around age 6. My fondest memories were of adventure games like King’s Quest and Space Quest, which incidentally required decent command of English.

There’s tons of more modern and kid-friendly adventure games out there nowadays, but the principle stands.

Those Epstein files keep popping up in the most unlikely of places.

No, the corporations learned their lessons from back then and they’ve successfully divided us along ideological or other lines, rather than class. In fact they’ve tried to fully erase class consciousness and I’d say they sadly succeeded.

My old job had so many unpatched servers, mostly Linux ones. Because of the general idea that “Linux is safe anyway”. And because of how Windows updates would often break critical infrastructure, so they were staggered and phased.

Turns out Harlan Ellison was a goddamn prophet when he wrote I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.

If an AI can be used for automatic scalable defense, it can also be used offensively. It’ll just be another digital arms race between blackhats and everyone else.

Teams isn’t the program actively spying on people (yet), that’s Viva engage.

Pfff, I bet it’s just a phase.

The real smurfberries.

If you see a nazi sitting down and having breakfast with 11 people, you’re seeing 12 nazis.

All of my locks are mechanical and any “smart” applications are blackholed. Challenge accepted.

Successful people are often insanely lucky and completely blind to the element of luck in their lives.

Amiga baby. I’m ancient.

Recently added n° 3 to the list as well. Gotta say, anxiety and despair hit different when possible homelessness enters the mix.

I don’t know whether to fear or admire people who manage to thrive under these circumstances.

It was more of a local thing, I guess you had to be there.
