In 2008, Iron Man had just come out and blown everyone’s minds. iPhones were still quite new, so was Facebook. Obama got elected and everyone was excited by the first black president, even here in Australia.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The rise of ID/face scanning to access bars & clubs
32·4 days agoThe worst part is all our data is stored on American servers run by megacorpos. ID information scanned by venue terminals is one, but even private health records and sensitive government documents are being chucked into Amazon S3, Azure/OneDrive and Dropbox.
The government should be prioritising secure, independent digital infrastructure but they’re too busy giving our tax dollars to foreign consulting firms so they can build bad websites.

That’s why they hate the yearly Pornhub report.
IIRC there’s a pattern of greater interest in trans porn in all red states.

World News@lemmy.world•Greenland and Denmark unite against US advances before White House talksEnglish
211·9 days agoGiven America’s obvious advantages with the scale of its military resources, I thought that the fight would be easy too, but after thinking about it I’m not so sure. War is not simply a matter of having advanced weapons and lots of units.
Considering how retarded Trump’s administration is and how demoralised the most professional and loyal military personnel are, combined with civil unrest domestically… I don’t think Trump can execute a successful invasion of another country without losing everything. More competent administrations (barely more*) have started wars and it cost them dearly in the ballot box.
You can have the best jets and ships and missiles, but if the personnel operating them think you are a pedophile and a traitor, giving illegal orders through a compromised chain of command… how effective do you think they will be in a theater of war?
Let’s hope we never find out.


I think the backlash to LLM is already hurting all AI projects and will be especially bad when that bubble pops.
Everyone’s going to think all AI, and AGI, projects are LLMs and scoff at them.
The magic that used to be tied to the term AI is dead by fraud.
