Open post Gabriel @gabe@fedi.gabe.rocks · 7mo ago Replying to @tomcat@mstdn.starnix.network @mttaggart@infosec.exchange Phase 1: force AI adoption by removing other options to not use it Phase 2: make computing unaffordable for the masses by buying up all stock of components, driving up demand while building datacenters. Phase 3: further increase demand for and adoption of your cloud computing/AI datacenter by making people reliant on crappy cloud PCs/PCaaS devices with little horsepower to do much else Phase 4: use telemetry/spyware in said datacenters to surveil/harvest data from every user of said cloud PCs and use it to serve hyper-targeted ads (everyone knows people love hyper-targeted ads) and send drone fleets to respond to/harass dissenters domestic terrorists Phase 5: profit @tomcat@mstdn.starnix.network Hot take: if digital privacy is as unattainable as the people telling us to give up on it was, none of this would be necessary. @mttaggart@infosec.exchange

Open post Gabriel @gabe@fedi.gabe.rocks · 7mo ago Replying to @Eleutheria2@poa.st @gabe Keep going, friend! I'd be happy to burn 30 lbs myself, and find it difficult. You just shrug and say "270? No big deal." You're clawing back literal decades from Death's grip. Here's hoping to 2026 being even better for you. @Eleutheria2 to be fair, the bigger you are the easier it is. Sticking with it for that length of time is definitely the real fight in hindsight. Wishing you the best in your fight!

I think it's safe to assume any sufficiently large software project will at least be in part written by software, for both good and ill.
