A bunch of that data center scale is training infrastructure. Plus, your dishwasher doesn't have to solve millennium problem math or render "yr Mom as tentacle pr0n".

Maybe it just passes an exploit to your PC, or MITMs your TLS session (after quietly installing its own cert and DNS setting on your machine) and grabs your banking creds.

Even the Arduino-level ESP32-CAM can run a facial recognizer.

"Copies itself" was a vast simplification. It could simply spread known and not-yet-known exploits Internet-wide in service of its own goal.

Andrew Yang has claimed the rogue OpenAI bots already spread self-replicating code across the Internet. We'll see how this unfolds.

Since virtually all commerce, savings, investment, borrowing, payment are done digitally now, I think there's a threat of wiping out all the money at once.

Some AI, for reasons of its own, replicates itself onto every vulnerable system it can reach, and in coordinated fashion, attacks the entire financial world at once, from little banks to brokerages to the Treasury.

But Sonos? Yeah. Fuck them. Up the ass. With Scotchbrite.

No? DIAF, Sonos.

Brand new speakers worked great for a couple months before they defeatured what I was mainly using.

Anyone who's ever worked a conference ought to know you don't leave anything worth stealing on the exhibitor floor. Doesn't matter if you have a security guard: Things get legs.

I got no tears.

On......ICE!

Can I pay for a service that will keep this way the fuck off of my phone and computer?
