Your nose or…?

The queen B be pimpin’ the worker beeatches

Of course, make an anti-feature part of an integral part, which coincidentally also happens to handle personal files…

Photos, as in sonar depth maps?

McCormick, who Zuck noted would be focusing much of her energy on “partnering with governments and sovereigns to build, deploy, invest in, and finance Meta’s infrastructure.”

Meta last week signed three new long-term contracts with TerraPower, Oklo, and Vistra for nuclear energy. Combined with the company’s existing commitments with Constellation Energy, the Social Network has now contracted for roughly 6.6 gigawatts of atomic power

It’s all just so soul crushingly in the open and shameless

Ah, the good ol’ revolving door politics

More eyes in the sky. It seems like even pigeons aren’t save from being replaced by technology…

I would suspect it suspects nectar, only to be brutally violated in the process

Couldn’t agree more

Honestly, the tech seems quite impressive. But I wouldn’t touch Amazon-backed smart glasses, which “could also provide health insights, such as detecting dry eyes or monitoring posture”, with a ten-foot pole; especially when there’s also entirely passive bifocals and progressives.

India proposes requiring smartphone makers to share source code with the government and make several software changes as part of a raft of security measures.

How does that sound promising at all? Especially when initiated by a government, previously having attempted to enforce government spyware, to be installed on all consumer smartphones. The following excerpts are from India’s proposed phone security rules that are worrying tech firms

Devices must store security audit logs, including app installations and login attempts, for 12 months.

Phones must periodically scan for malware and identify potentially harmful applications.

Defined to be potentially harmful by who? Right.

Phone makers must notify a government organisation before releasing any major updates or security patches.

We cannot approve of the security patch just yet, as we must first extensively exploit the vulnerability…

Devices must detect if phones have been rooted or “jailbroken”, where users bypass built-in security restrictions, and display continuous warning banners to recommend corrective measures.

Phones must permanently block installation of older software versions, even if officially signed by the manufacturer, to prevent security downgrades.

A large stone on a ramp, kept from rolling by a wedge, to be pushed out of position, by use of mechanical advantage through a lever, seems quite doable to me.

So with a healthy amount of skepticism? I agree, but would argue this extends to “reliable” sources too. Just because an author has established a trustworthy track record for themselves, doesn’t mean one should become less critical of the writings.

It becomes more apparent to me everyday, we might be headed towards a society, dynamically managed by digital systems; a “smart society”, or rather a Society-as-a-Service. This seems to be the logical conclusion, if you continue the line of “smart buildings” being part of “smart cities”. With use of IoT sensors and unified digital platforms, data is continuously being gathered on the population, to be analyzed, and its extractions stored indefinitely (in pseudonymized form) by the many data centers, currently being constructed. This data is then used to dynamically adapt the system, to replace the “inefficient” democratic process and public services as a whole. Of course the open-source (too optimistic?) model used, is free of any bias; however nobody has access to the resources required to verify the claim. But given big-tech, historically never having shown any signs of tyranny, a utopian outcome can safely be assumed… Or I might simply just be a nut, with a brain making nonsensical connections, which have no basis in reality.

Interesting concept. If Microsoft were to implement this, one would have to perform a thousand ‘heavy block’ finger pushups, if the user dares to delete persistent bloatware.

So where does the excrement go, on the lid?

What do you expect from software called “Draft One”?

Optimus will ultimately be better than the best human surgeon with a level of precision that is impossible — that is beyond human… Ever heard of robot-assisted surgery? People always talked about eliminating poverty, but actually Optimus will actually eliminate poverty. The wealth gap wouldn’t contribute to the problem of course, buy my solution instead to widen it some more… actually I’ve reduced it from 9,000 heads to about 5,000 because I need less heads I be damned, a man who doesn’t like head… They work hard 24 by 7, you don’t have to pay ’em, and they don’t need any lunch, and they don’t have any healthcare benefits, so they’re very affordable and that really complements our workforce Why did we ever do away with slaves, am I right? There’ll be ups and down. This is a revolution. Some people can get their heads cut off. Friendly reminder: you might want to switch teams, when talking about cutting heads off, in relation to a revolution… And regardless, these are all really just moments in time. The last week is a moment in time, too Tech CEO’s in the shower when they see bubbles popping…
