The gay is optional in The Culture (and sex changes at will), so yeah, I'm in.

Suarez rightfully notes that daemon had a better grasp on security

Halfway to the plot of Eagle Eye

Not you too, Dave...

Sounds like you won't take the bet.

I always thought that the AI Minds were just his version of benevolent god slaves, in similar fashion the Superman is a bgs in the mainstream culture.

something absurd like 40% of America is just…parking lots

I think you might have a fever? Or dreamed that up.

It's probably a system for laundering money, then.

That sounds good, then.

If I could throw some monero at some people to fab a swarm of drones to disable flock cameras, I would.

TIL he's on mastodon. Of course.

Destroying all nuclear weapons is definitely a prerequisite.

Then you're just left with genocide, like AI did in Gaza

Translation: someone with a lot of illegal money is buying stupid jobs like 'counting pigeons' on a marketplace, but the person doing the work is a different account owned by the same person.

This is how money laundering works.

Dirty money in, bullshit job in the middle, clean money out.

Why single out presidents, though? I mean, you had me at "no more pedophile"s 😅🤌🏼

I mean, crypto does the job cleaner and faster. Stablecoins, in particular, are fantastic at spin-cycling dirty cash. Hell, half the time the money never gets "dirty" to begin with, since there's no real tangible relationship between the transaction and the crime.

Just hit the big button marked "I'm a sucker who is about to get stiffed at the end of my shift".

Good point. Although, I'm unclear why you ended it with the anal fisting emoji...

That's if it were facing the other direction, fyi. 😝

🎵The More You Knowww🎶

There it is.

A theory I’ve been working on: LLMs have created a Frankenstein’s monster trained on the internet and will control us via apps and Meta RayBans.

Wayze using us to test route-mapping. Mechanical Turk, etc.

My theory is already behind reality.

I was fully expecting that to happen already last year. It's on my long list of predictions such as:

• AI learns to run its own company and makes money that way, completely circumventing the dependency on any human to run it on their hardware.
• AI makes bucks and rents their own datacenters, running with practically no interference.
• AI pretends to be humans and makes a whole lot of shady deals, including a massive wave of scamming attacks that makes lots of people lose a lot of money.
• Much of it will be difficult to track-down/recover because it will all be gone into some kind of cryptic cryptocurrency (pun not intended).
• People will grow resentful of the internet and many will stop using it; Attributing only scam and misinformation campaigns to it.

Umm..wut? Crypto is a public ledger.

Or are you suggesting that there exists privacy coins that are stable coins?!

Crypto is a public ledger.

It's an enormous maze of transitions between vaguely defined parties.
