Gotta spend it somewhere. Charge some batteries or else dump it into a load cell.


A lot of medicinal compounds are alkaloids, which are naturally bitter


Faraday cage, but it’s just a dog crate wrapped in aluminum foil.


As usual, shot placement is key. I imagine the navigation sensors are fragile enough that a small air rifle could do enough damage to disable them, but a .22 would definitely do it and maybe even be enough to lock up a knee or shoulder joint.


Nah, if Youtube blocks adblockers then I’ll just waste my time elsewhere.


Misread that as “Midwest Counties”.


Oh hey, that’s almost exactly the kind of cyberpunk dystopia that I grew up reading fiction about:


I mean, the Flipper Zero is just a computer with a few radios built-in.
I think the only one they share with most smart glasses is Bluetooth which might potentially have some vulnerabilities which could be exploited, but there are also expansion cards for the Flipper Zero that add everything from wifi and ethernet ports to high-powered IR blasters, so the real question is how vulnerable smart glasses are.
And the truth is, they’re vulnerable by default because they rely on corpo servers to operate like any other “smart” device. Any flaw in the security of the glasses themselves barely holds a candle to the fact that they forward everything to Facebook or some other big tech brand name with a financial interest in monetizing your data.


Yeah, the hype is really leaning on that singularitarian angle and the investor class is massively overextended.
I’m glad that the general public is finally getting on down the hype cycle, this peak of inflated expectations has lasted way too long, but it should have been obvious three years ago.
Like, I get that I’m supposedly brighter and better educated than most folks, but I really don’t feel like you need college level coursework in futures studies to be able to avoid obvious scams like cryptocurrency and “AI”.
I feel like it has to be deliberate, a product of marketing effects, because some of the most interesting new technologies have languished in obscurity for years because their potential is disintermediative and wouldn’t offer a path to further expanding the corporate dominion over computing.


Folks don’t seem to realize what LLMs are, if they did then they wouldn’t be wasting trillions trying to stuff them in everything.
Like, yes, it is a minor technological miracle that we can build these massively-multidimensional maps of human language use and use them to chart human-like vectors through language space that remain coherent for tens of thousands of tokens, but there’s no way you can chain these stochastic parrots together to get around the fact that a computer cannot be held responsible, algorithms have no agency no matter how much you call them “agents”, and the people who let chatbots make decisions must ultimately be culpable for them.
It’s not “AI”, it’s a n-th dimensional globe and the ruler we use to draw lines on that globe. Like all globes, it is at best a useful fiction representing a limited perspective on a much wider world.


“AI Employee” is some seriously dystopian bullshit.


Save everything you want to keep


And not just the resources, those orbits are going to be cluttered with slowly-deorbiting junk too. Until we get around to making something that can clean them up, we won’t be able to put anything else there.


Oh yeah, the name is both descriptive and wildly scifi. XD


They’re a real thing, crystaline structures with an oscillating temporal component.
Only if you’re using the Chrome extension, maybe. This is just Google trying to kill even the memory of Google Reader by fucking with the biggest competitor to social media in Chrome.
