    This right here is the reason why piracy is as big and healthy as ever.

    It’s not about the money. Hell, we’re spending thousands now whereas before it was at most a few hundreds per year. But now we can watch whatever we want without bullshit, without advertising

    It’s not about the ease of use. We now spent countless hours on building a libraries with everything we’d like to watch which I know will always be there

    It’s not about wanting to be “a criminal” or not caring about artists. Most artists get shit from Spotify, for example. We’d rather pay a few hundred per year to some foundation that will pay artists a fair share

    It’s about not wanting to deal with these huge anti social power monger companies and their shitty policies anymore.

    You can’t watch this, we won’t allow it.

    You can’t watch that, you live in a country where it’s bad for our profits if we allow you to watch that.

    You can’t watch this one because it’s better for our profits that we dropped this so you now need to pay double for some other provider because we decided so.

    We need to monitor your every move and excuuuusee me siiiirrr, i need to inspect ya aaasshole now… Please also give me all your personal information, minus the “please” because we’ll just take it

    You know, we’re so big now, and you have so little options, we’ll make you eat h add anyway even though you pay us

    Fuuuuuuckkkk all of that.










  • Likely because the manufacturer used of off the shelf hardware that just happened to have GPS built in? That’s just how these things go, it’s easier to just use pre designed hardware for what you need, even if it has functionalities you won’t use.

    Hell, I’d argue that the vast majority of computer hardware out there isn’t using half of the features that it has.

    Just because features are there doesn’t mean they’re used, and definitely doesn’t automatically mean that there are evil or nefarious intentions with its design






  • ~~we ~~ you will have to work through societal disruption

    FTFY, because he won’t have to, and won’t work through societal disruption, he will just buy another Ferrari with his extra money or some shit

    Having said that, AI as it currently is isn’t AI, it’s fucking LLMs, and LLMs as they are today won’t do any of this shit that is being promised. LLMs pretty much have platoed out, and won’t be getting any better soon.

    The AI bubble will burst, it’s just a question of how quickly and how much of the world will explode with it

    And yet again, not only did everyone in power let this bubble form AGAIN, everyone in power AGAIN three everything they got on top of it, believing that the rainbow s end really did have a pot of gold. When the economy eventually breaks badly, AGAIN, those in power will bail out the CEOs with OUR money, blame some easy target that isn’t them, and claim there was no way to avoid any of this shit. A few pretend to care laws will be put in place, they won’t do shit to prevent the next bubble, but not that it matters because those laws will then be revealed again 5-10 years from now because they’ll be remotely standing in the way of the next bubble that is going to be awesome for everyone the top 0.1%

    So. Can we now finally outlaw multi millionaires and abovd? Can we now finally cap personal networh at 10-20 million dollars and any income above that goes 100% to taxes? Can we finally cap company networths at 1 billion, maybe 1000 employees, max? Any income above that, 100% to tax

    I don’t want a single trillion dollar company, I want a million million dollar companies
