Teams once again continuing to undermine it’s own existence by using even more stupid tricks to force people into the office.

If you want me in the office then don’t force me to use tools that would allow me to do my job from anywhere.

Altman and a few others, maybe. But this is a broad collection of people. Like, the computer science professors on the signatory list there aren’t running AI companies. And this isn’t saying that it’s imminent.

You realize that even if these individuals aren’t personally working at AI companies that most if not all of them have dumped all kinds of money into investing in these companies, right? That’s part of why the stocks for those companies are so obscenely high because people keep investing more money into them because of current the insane returns on investment.

I have no doubt Wozniak, for example, has dumped money into AI despite not being involved with it on a personal level.

So yes, they are literally invested in promoting the idea that AGI is just around the corner to hype their own investment cash cows.

Our media is bought and paid for by wealthy interests who want all this.

It’s actually ironic that MAGA were right that a lot of mainstream media couldn’t be trusted… Just for the wrong fucking reasons and instead of being skeptical and thoughtful they just started listening to random asshats on the internet.

Also add Washington state to that list, I just checked the DSHS page. Payments will stop Nov. 1st.

I feel like these people aren’t even really worried about superintelligence as much as hyping their stock portfolio that’s deeply invested in this charlatan ass AI shit.

There’s some useful AI out there, sure, but superintelligence is not around the corner and pretending like it is acts just another way to hype the stock price of these companies who claim it is.

Sure, but it’s also very likely that reddit is still retaining all posts even “deleted” ones in their database. I can go look at the profiles of people who haven’t used their accounts in 12 years. I can use Arctic Shift to view posts and comments that users have deleted themselves… even from deleted accounts! All the data is still there. That’s why a few years ago when people were deleting accounts it was widely suggested to edit every comment into gibberish before deletion, so the final edit in the database would be worthless. I remember when there were extension tools to do it like NukeReddit that changed everything to gibberish and then deleted it for you all automatically. Those tools had stopped working by the time the exodus due to the API changes happened.

Anyway, I wouldn’t past that fucking pile of shit Steve Huffman to just be passing it off to Palantir because he’s such a little bitch.

IPv4 has DHCP. Is there something in the way of applying a similar solution to IPv6?

That in itself is implemented a few different ways, and each one is more useful dependent on your use-case, but these also have very little to do with how your ISP hands out the IP to your modem. When you get an IP handed out to your modem by your ISP, it’s often not being handed out by DHCP but an entirely different technology purpose built for whatever medium (cable/DSL/fiber) is actually going into your modem, so knowing their implementation is still important. Things work a little differently at enterprise-level. Although you’re not wrong that eventually there could be routers with auto-configuration based on which type of IPv6 network the router detects, there just currently aren’t any that I know of.

But if you’re interested in the modern equivalents of DHCP you should look into SLAAC vs. DHCPv6 which are similar but oh so very different.

Thanks for holding us back, champ.

I guess fuck stateful packet inspection as a tool or anything.

NAT isn’t a security measure you know that right?

Further, there’s often not clear documentation from your ISP which of the ways they have it set up!

It’s like the opposite of Dr. House’s “It’s never Lupus.”

“It’s always DNS.”

I feel like we really need to speed up the embrace of IPv6 to solve this kind of issue. DNS is helpful to humans sure but a lot of these outages are triggered by services not being able to reach one another because they’re hard-coded to a DNS to avoid shifting IPs due to things like NAT.

It feels like we could do an end-run around a lot of this by having a failover to an IPv6 address that is associated with the DNS entry if the DNS fails. Kind of like you generally have multiple DNS servers in sequence in case one of not-responsive, what if, at the service-level we stopped relying on DNS so much and instead used the benefits of IPv6 to not have services fail when DNS does? DNS should be for humans not for computers especially not in a world where IPv6 exists.

(someone who is more familiar with the ins-and-outs of IPv6 is welcome to tell me if and why I am wrong in thinking this)

I wish they would just raise prices rather than making everything shittier.

The companies, in response to you:

Lenox.

I’m fucking dead lmao

“Over the Air” is just relying on what is at this point very old technology and they keep kneecapping themselves with DRM just like internet options.

Further, there is no reason for there to not be streams of over-the-air television available on the internet for people who can’t get their broadcast signals.

I have lived in two different cities that were valleys and so unless I had a 12 foot tall TV antennae on the top of my house/apartments, there was no way in hell I was getting more than one OTA channel at all anyway. The airwaves are inefficient in that capacity whereas they could be putting the exact same daily TV content online for viewers.

I see no reason why “over-the-air” can’t also be “over-the-IP” for people who can’t get a broadcast signal.

Same story as ever: Republicans refuse to negotiate in good faith and then blame it on the people not bending over to be raped by them.

The entire Republican apparatus is basically a DARVO abuser in the form of a political party.

Dialogue you can actually hear without subtitles.

The frustrating thing is there are already shows with very small budgets that still don’t get a lot of episodes.

It all comes down to the end of syndication and how shows just don’t have same residual income stream as they used to, so there isn’t a reason to make a bunch of episodes to run as re-runs on various other TV networks to make extra money after the initial run of the show.

Well, maybe not just syndication. It’s also about the storage costs of high quality video and part of why some shows disappear forever: because they have such low viewing numbers that it makes more sense to free up the space for some other show with more views and more ability to retain subscribers/get new subscribers. Which in itself is an indictment of the inefficient ways the industry shares this media instead of using some sort of decentralized network protocol like bittorrent to seed the files out without necessarily needing them always centrally stored. Hell, even if it was just corporations sharing the data amongst themselves, it would still be more efficient than completely recreating the data anew in every corporate internal network.

I have all three seasons soundtracks, because they’re all so good.

Joe Pera is my favorite out of all of them, honestly. I wanted to get him to sign my copy of his bathroom book “A Bathroom Book Not For People Pooping pr Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape” when I saw his standup show but the crowd was too big and I gave up.

Joe Bennett, the creator of Scavenger’s Reign on HBO and Common Side Effects on Adult Swim did the art for Joe Pera’s bathroom book, which is how I first found his art.

C. Martin Croker, voice of Zorak, died too young. Losing him was a big punch in the guy to early Adult Swim lovers of Space Ghost Coast to Coast and the Brak Show.

He’s been telegraphing it since 2016. In 2020 he literally tried to stop the peaceful passing of power between Presidencies and made it a very not peaceful passage for the first time in US history.

Like, if you haven’t noticed, you haven’t been paying the fuck attention (not you OP, you’re obviously paying attention). I’m so sick of our media downplaying it like they’re just figuring this the fuck out, like he isn’t the most transparently bad liar in fucking history.
