Yeah, so how many pages to print Fable?

This line of thinking is like suggesting people who would like to become structural engineers should learn to Google plans and copy them since in the future, all plans will be out there more or less, or something that insane.

I suggest people who need some structural engineering done may use an AI tool to do it, in the hypothetical scenario that it was within the AI's capabilities.

That's hardly insane. Not everyone is interested in learning something they want done.

How do you know if this something is done?

If you do the thing yourself, you know your knowledge limits, you know where the thing lacks. With LLMs, you don't. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. You have no idea.

That is a good question.

In structural engineering, there probably is no risk tolerance.

In the OP's network or port scan? Perhaps you can get away with verifying a few of the results to get an idea about whether it worked as expected.

I use AI mostly on mobile app side projects, and there QA testing on phone and tablet tells me whether a feature works or not.

While the authors position is rather far from grounded and misses the key issue, which in my estimate is that "Radical Anti-Capitalists" went wrong with alienating productive members of software society in favour of pandering to fringe and populist politics unrelated to those fundamental and crucial in pursuit of ensuring freedom and digital rights.

Free software is indeed about freedom in consumer software. You're strongly suggesting that it is otherwise without providing any clarity or context. What gives?

You're very close but to woodworking AI is more akin to a 3d printer than even a CNC let alone swas and planes.

Yes, a 3d printer and not even a CNC. That difference nicely illustrates the difference of what AI brings to the table for any domain of competence.

In Queensland, Australia. Saying from a flow streaming of water to a large salty tidal body of water lands you a criminal record. Just the words. Same in Berlin.

Btw in Germany the courts ruled that From the river to the sea as parole itself is not unlawful. The arrested person got acquitted.

Hamas and its symbols are illegal however.

Didn't they also arrest a guy for writing some random Arabic on a flag because Hamas also has a flag written in Arabic?

Idk did they? Who knows man a lot of stuff is said on the internet that might’ve or might’ve not happened

So the goated take in your opinion would be to just believe that a guy in Germany was arrested for writing random Arabic letters that kinda look like the Hamas logo without any proof or sources because it fits a certain narrative?

I’m not saying it’s impossibleb but there should be some evidence for such a strong claim

No, you see; that is why your take is so ungoated. You know it is not an impossible claim, you also have access to internet, but you opt for benefit of the doubt. As I said, there is a line between fair benefit of the doubt and the taste of shoe leather.

Yea I did 5 minutes research on google and nothing turned up. If it’s such an outrageous case it should be easy to find - so your point is that I should invest hours trying to prove some claim that some rando typed on here while taking a shit.

Nah bro a goat like me has much better things to do.

If you make outrageous claims the burden of proof is on you and not the people you’re talking to.

You don't have to prove anything, but given the staggering amount of evidence to support such event as likely, you opt to dismiss it without evidence. Like I said, shoe leather.

Since there is such a staggering amount of evidence around, care to provide even a single piece?

Evidence for what?

That in Germany “they also arrest a guy for writing some random Arabic on a flag because Hamas also has a flag written in Arabic” - that was what I didn’t believe initially, and what you called me a bootlicker for lmao

Yes.

"The process is the punishment".

About 3% of their revenue. In context, someone in UK using their phone while driving will be charged about £1000 pound or ~3% of the median income..

The lesson is you gotta incorporate your crimes. If you kill a person you face life in prison. If you are a decision maker at Boeing who lies to regulators and customers, committing fraud that killed hundreds of people [0], you receive a golden parachute instead!

Someone using their phone while driving in the UK will almost certainly be charged £200. They'll only receive the maximum £1000 charge in extreme circumstances.

Please don't lie.

And lets not forget how pointless Play Integrity is for what it is being touted to be for, when there is millions of "Certified" devices ready for us by shady people via clickfarms.

Well, those don’t have modified critical OS components or modified app binaries. So Play Integrity works for that at least.

Unless the app has certificate pinning, the modification of app behaviour is also not guaranteed. Really, it is just a pointless exercise for most of the use cases.

Any app using Play Integrity uses cert pinning. I wish play integrity was just theater, it would make my business a hell of a lot easier.

A new age of piracy is ahead of us. When they come crying about "revenue", these days will be remembered.

Let's not call it piracy, please, it makes us sound like thieves.

It's resistance against mass surveillance and a State that's grown cancerous. It's any citizen's duty, really.

It is dirtier to pay for big tech services than it is to infringe copyright.

Ironically, the big AI companies have scaled copyright infringement and appear to be profiting from it. So, pretty much: "meat's back on the menu boys".

It is piracy; It is theft, but even capital punishment has a threshold of justification, let alone theft.

Piracy is justified action in response to intrusive, mass, and overreaching surveillance by the unholy matrimony of State and Corporate.

What do you mean?

As the age verification and the dodgy businesses around them become more widespread, people will find the friction and risk of paying for "legitimate" access on par with pirating, and to boot, the later doesn't cost money.

Remember, people use these services largely for convince more than qualms with paying for multinationals. So once they create friction, off we go to the bays again in large masses.

Sites like TPB don't try to verify your age.

TPB is the worst piracy site now by the way. It's full of fake uploads should never be used. There are many others with better curation.

I hear that often but I have yet to find any issues with it.

Maybe I’m too niche or not niche enough to run into issues. I also never download software from any site like this so maybe that’s it.

Even so, have a look around, there are better sites.

The primary feature of a blog or any website is that it is available around the clock, that is the primary feature of cloud: around on the clock computer and network that scales on demand.

The primary feature of "AI" is to process information and reason with a natural language interface at speed, the primary feature of AI bigboys is to provide the machinery that runs the "models".

See the difference?

You severely underestimate how little the fraction of the performance and human labor of a frontier AI is in "the model".

Hosting a blog 24x7 on a laptop is trivial, except for hyperscaling to the front page of HN and Reddit.

Yeah, exactly, hosting on a laptop is trivial except for when it is not. However, I am using an AI on a mac mini just fine, Qwen 3.6 27B at Q6. Works just as good as STOA models for most things.

In many a brand name company now tokenmaxxing is the name of the game; CryptoBase, FacePaper, AntiqueOptics, tinyflacid, they all use AI usage metrics as part of their perf review these days.

Are these… real names? I can no longer tell if this is satire.

That is the point ;)
