I wouldn’t count “behind a VPN” as “open to the internet”.

It’s still listening and recording. The recent Gamers Nexus video shows that the just store everything locally until they find a way to send it. They’re always scanning the radio for other access points too.

Damn seagulls.

Officer grades…sure.

Rank and file… Nah. Not if you want OUT of poverty.

Code is probably one of the easiest things to verify

LOL!!!

Local opposition to data centre builds seems to be most effective at the moment. People oppose it from across the political spectrum, and it’s becoming a hot topic. Add your voice to the crowd.

AI use for Open Source projects is arguably the one use case that benefits everyone,

It doesn’t benefit everyone if it pushes the quality down because the impetus to go fast wins over the dedication to reviewing the code properly. Nor does it benefit everyone if the world becomes uninhabitable because of the energy used by data centers. Nor does it benefit everyone if economies collapse due to the hype being wrong and the speculative bubble bursts. Nor does it benefit everyone if the hype is right and it renders most jobs redundant.

These are the very rational things “haters” are concerned about. AI is for the rich to get richer. It does nothing for the rest of us.

What about King Kong? That was pretty big at the time. Sure, it’s more of a supporting role, but still significant.

You’ve seen where they want to build this, right? Heat is not an issue.

So don’t build it. It needs too much power.

I hear jet fuel melts steal beams.

Use AI to add the grim reaper into the background?

It’s the straw that broke the camel’s back.

If that’s true in the US, then god help you. I know they still exist in the UK.

The 2008 bailout happened because it was the banking sector that was exposed. If the consumer banks fail, everybody’s accounts go up in flames.

Part of getting that bailout was that the banks had to restructure to insulate commercial banking from investment banking. Supposedly the investment arm can now get taken out, and the damage to the commercial arm is limited. I’ll believe that when I see it. The big question at the moment is “how exposed are the banks?”.

Oracle, Nvidia, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic are all massively exposed. Nvidia and Microsoft might be big enough for a decimated version of themselves to come out the other side. Everyone else is going to the wall. No need to bail them out though. That’s a contained explosion.

If the bank are making loans of hundreds of billions thinking they’re sure fire money makers, but actually they’re piles of shit, then it’s 2008 again. That’s when we see if they really protected the commercial arms of their banks.

Have a high res version

In this case it’s an advantage. If your enemy has a blind spot you exploit it.

A lot of people don’t realise SKG is a foothold in exactly that fight. If you establish precedent on something as “frivolous” as video games you can use it on much higher value thing too.
