If on the other hand you want a Cyber-Space Force - the best of both worlds - you could cast a vote for this guy AND Trump at the same time. (Angry knocking on the door to my apartment - its William Gibson with a baseball bat... he always turns up when I make lame Cyber-Space jokes online...)
5 years from now you will not be able to do what you just did - post anonymously on a platform like Slashdot, because anonimity only has been made illegal. We'll see just whose inbred faggot ass goes crying to his mommy when that happens. =) THEEEEY TOOOK MYYYY ANOOONYYYMOUUUS COOOWARRRRD POOOSTIIING RIIIIIGHTSSS AWAAAAY !!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!
Ironically it is the LEFT - supposedly champions of the, cough cough, working man who doesn't own a TV channel, radio station or a newspaper - that are trying to shut down all avenues of unfettered free speech online. Why? Because the left almost everywhere is a TOOL of a small handful of very powerful and very dominant industrialist families that originate in Europe and have been at the top of the global heap much longer than any one of us have been alive. You see, if you are devious enough to pretend that you "care about the common person", and repeat that message often and dumbed down enough, many a "common person" starts to believe that you are being sincere. Control the LEFT thoroughly, and you can simply stop any genuine revolution or pitchfork uprising dead in its tracks if it does actually start to happen. Just keep pretending that you "work for the average Joe", repeat that message ad absurdum, and in the meantime feed average Joes and Janes around the world watered down policies that ensure that only CERTAIN people get to have real power in the world. There is also a very particular type of internet content that these people are trying to shut down, and it is Youtube channels like A CALL FOR AN UPRISING - way too much brutal truth being broadcast there for the world's governing elite. Yes, the internet is going to get censored more and more. Too much of what was supposed to stay in the dark is being brought out into the open across the internet. No, that will not help these elites - once the internet IS censored, many people will start to realize that these Elites genuinely exist, genuinely control Trillions of Dollars in money, and genuinely want brainwashed sheep to keep funneling money into their Bank Of International Settlements private accounts. So the internet WILL get censored. But this will backfire on the elites - nobody wants a world where your ISP basically delivers a Disneynet into your home or to your phone. The elites will do themselves in by censoring free, truthful speech online. Let them do it.
Then build your floating "survival cities for the rich". Every few seconds a child dies in the developing world, and these people want to fill the oceans with floating hexagons...
The e-Sports competitors and crowd will look GREAT on TV in 2020. By 2040, 10% have died of heart attacks, and the remaining 90% are fat blobs who need to be wheeled around in a - self-driving - electric wheelchair. =)
In my opinion, Apple was DESIGNED by some very clever yet also very devious people to make deliberately stylish, dumbed down, overpriced computing devices for the stupid, the undereducated, the untalented and the gullible. Lots of people fall into that category apparently, so Apple made hundreds of Billions of Dollars from this ploy. Now comes the REAL Apple Corporation - a MEDIA GIANT that gobbles up more and more media and leans hard to the LEFT. Look at Apple's celebrity lineup - all of them Hollywood liberals. So expect Apple to turn into something like a new News Corporation - only hard left LGBT socialist, not hard right religious conservative in outlook. BRILLIANTLY executed plan. Sell people Chinese manufactured 250 Dollar smartphones for 900 Dollars. Build a huge media company after a decade of doing this. Cash in on about 1 Billion i-Lemmings who just cannot get enough of their bitten-Apple (hint hint Garden of Eden hint hint) logo. The best part? NONE of Apple's customers realize that the financial muscle behind Apple is some of the most POWERFUL European industrialist families controlling Trillions of Euros in financial assets. Families that have been in business for centuries in some cases. People actually think Apple is an American Silicon Valley company. It isn't. Apple is something very very different in actuality. The old bitten apple logo with the "rainbow coloring" should have given people a clue as to what Apple is after in actuality. But people think Apple just makes a nice smartphone that sits nicely in your hand or pocket. LMFAO.
When the real creative talent goes away, the Freemasons come out to play. =) The people in Apple's celebrity lineup are all left-liberals who like to visit cetain, erm, lodges so they can keep their pockets lined with, erm, Benjamins.
Its tempting to think that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube are the cause of every craze-slash-crazy-persons-event happening. Who I blame is actual Mainstream Media who for many decades have deliberately - and profitably - ignored and censored what real, ordinary people have to go through in the real world. All in the name of social cohesion and economic stability. Of course new outlets like Facebook and Youtube are going to turn into "Volcanos of Crazy" - Hollywood and MSM content has become unwatchably formulaic, so people have taken to following Twitterati, Youtubers and so on instead. There was a street brawl in Germany? Oh noes! That's so much worse than Millions of people having to live with censored news for many decades. In the West, no less, not in Russia or China! Until the MSM fixes itself - or better changes hands - I'm guessing that we'll wake up to more "internet-driven crazyness" in the next years. It gives me hope that today's young seem to chose their own content online, rather than becoming Television and Radio zombies like previous generations have.
German companies get embroiled in one ethics/corruption/collusion scandal after another. Germany's foreign policy consists of APPEASING every dictatorial regime in the world, so German COMPANIES can do Billions of Euros in business there. Merkel may have a STASI background herself. You want GERMANY to LEAD the way towards a more peaceful world??? HA HA HA HA HA. It wouldn't surprise me if Germany has warehouses full of killer robots already. To prötect ze Deutsche kompanies abroad, öf cöurse!!!
Nvidia claims that the realtime raytracing tech in its uber-expensive RTX 20xx cards "took 10 years to develop". Hmm. A full 10 years to turn decades old raytracing techniques into working hardware circuitry! Either Nvidia's hardware engineers have an IQ in the double digits and take ages to implement old techniques in hardware. Or good old Nvidia is one of those lovely tech companies that _could_ have given us exactly what we wanted 6 to 7 years ago, but simply opted to sell old tech for another few years instead - it was more profitable that way, you see? GPU buyers are idiots - Nvidia gives its architecture a radical name change every few years (Maxwell, Turing, bla bla bla), unlocks a bit more of the processing potential the architecture had 5 years ago, and boasts - GASP! - that the "new" architecture is now 20% faster. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia already has RTX 40xx or even RTX 50xx GPUs running in its laboratory. When will we get those babies? WHEN NVIDIA FEELS LIKE IT OF COURSE. LMAO!
They don't have to send you anywhere - ALL of China is being transformed into an open air prison. The Chinese Communist Party exists first and foremost to OPPRESS its citizens. You don't have to do that in a labor camp - these commie-gays probably get the same kick out of just surveilling 1 Billion people in everything they do every day. Well done Apple & Co. You moving your manufacturing Dollars to China has trapped 1 Billion people inside one big fucking Panopticon.
The abominable Chinese Communist Party - who hate God so much that they are much much more than mere "Atheists" by the way - are giving a proud demonstration of what living under a "New World Order" would look like. Technology everywhere, always on, always identifying you and always working against you as a human being. We are fucking IDIOTS for buying anything manufactured in this God-hating country at all - every Dollar we send the Chinese Communist Party gets used against the people who have to live in China. China wants an Uber-Orwellian cashless society where even the tiniest transaction has to be linked to a person's identity, and we who buy electronic shit made there are FINANCING this madness. The Chinese government is so abominable that it is borderline Satanic - no sense in sugarcoating anything these control-freaks are after. Why can't we buy shit made in India, Vietnam or somewhere in Latin America instead?
I remember living in a developing country when Facebook first became popular, and getting _inundated_ with daily requests to "join X on Facebook". I smelled a rat and didn't. What was frightening was the _crazy_ adoption rate of this mediocre web service - _everyone_ I knew was putting pressure on everyone else _they_ knew to also be on Facebook. People kept telling me "I can't find you on Facebook, I can't find you on Facebook". That doesn't happen without Billions of Dollars in capital behind the first push of the website. Why would millions suddenly rush to put their photo and personal data on such a simple and poorly designed website, and one with a name directly referencing "Face Indexing" or "Face Data Collection" to boot? It takes money to pull this off. LOTS of money. That money probably - even back then - came from various big industries desperate to collect as much personal data about everyone around the world as possible. Thus Facebook was not a "little Mark Zuckerberg genius startup" at all. This was a heavily industry-funded social media site from day one. And they probably got everyone's data piped to them from Day 1. Facebook _was_ about "connecting people" - but connecting them with industries who want to syphon their personal data away.
Anyone else find it strange that a glitzy for-profit company just grabs Nikola Tesla's name as a brand name, then fails utterly to honor the man himself? Tesla did much greater things for scientific progress than Elon Musk has done to date. Yet Musk doesn't talk much about the man, build him a museum or fund a film about the great inventor. People see Musk's electric car on the street and go "That's a Tesla". Yet many don't seem to know much about Nikola Tesla, and that his research was about much, much more than a man-sized electric RC car. Musk seems to me to be an overglorified opportunist and PR genius who just grabbed the great inventors name and didn't spend a penny actually honoring the man's legacy.
If you know enough scripting/IT to hack major websites without being caught, why not write a little software tool that does something legit, sell it on website, and make a living with that? Why not make a powerful website security boosting tool instead of HACKING websites? Would that be worth far less than putting happless people's credit card info and other details on the Dark Web? Unless of course these "hackers" are GOVERNMENT people. Perhaps Russian government people. Hacking Western companies not for itty-bitty money on the Dark Web, but simply to damage and inconvenience Westerners. Seriously, who is so good at hacking, and so poor at legit coding that they cannot make similar money writing something that has a legitimate use? Who are these "lone superhackers" who can go undetected by Western security agencies and just throw struff on the Dark Web? I smell Putin in these supposed "lone hacks".
"I was in my TESLA on my way to a new job in Muskville. I put the Cryptocurrency in, had my AI ID chip in my brain verified, and then just let the Level 3 Autopilot drive. I just imagined what the day would be like without Tesla, SpaceX and the Boring Company - terrible. A hundred years from now, in a multiplanetary world. In 2045 I was on a 'torture tourism tour' in a poor rural part of New China - the Communist planet, not the still-Communist country. I took great delight in torturing natives who didn't accept the Chinese history and history of science they had been taught."
Musk is all over the place on AI - first its going to kill us all, next he invests heavily in it and wants to put AI chips in our heads. Hmmm. OK. I think his fear with this "text generator" is reverse-use - the same neural net that can "write bullshit stories" may also be able to _detect_ "bullshit stories". That would put a lot of Billion Dollar news companies out of business, because their stories are full of bias and often have a pretty strong fictional aspect to them. Cable News Network, I'm looking at you. =) So imagine that you go into politics as a married man, and a porn-star with big boobs claims that you banged her all night 10 years ago. Imagine that "bullshit detector AI" looks at the text written by Cable News Network, and the crap said by the people in the text, and determines that the writer was bullshitting, and the people who are quoted were bullshitting as well. How is the news industry going to work from that point on? How will politics work when the "fictional bullshit" alarm goes off all the time? "If I am elected, the economy will work for the poor" - BULLSHIT ALAAAAARM BULLSHIT ALAAAARM. So yes, Elon Musk, hide this text generator from humanity and hide it well. We need corporate news to survive for another 1000 years minimum. Even better would be a multi-planetary humanity that has corporate news on many different planets. (Goes off to write some AI code)
A friend who lives in a repressive country where over 90% of the media is pro-government propaganda told me that the when he does a reverse image-search of the little "author image" next to the opinion pieces lauding the government's actions, neither Google nor Tineye can find the person online. It seems that the opinion pieces are authored by supposed "journalists" who's face can only be found next to the opinion piece - and nowhere else online. The authors names and their face images are fictional, even though their faces appear to belong to a real person. It seems like this tech was around before Nvidia supposedly "pioneered" it.
Relax. Zuckerberg has humanity's best interests in mind, always. If he says its a "Glitch" then it must be - well - a "Glitch". (Goes to Facebook and types "show me pictures of every Glitch I am friends with" into the search field)
