well my thought is, more the botnet side of it, IE pushing less on individual machines, but more on massive distribution. IE it not needing one computer strong enough to run it, IE expecting 90% of the machines it infects to be average consumer PCs, but making more use out of 1000 systems that can handle 1% each, rather than 1 computer that handles 100%, however yeah I do suppose also allowing it to do the bulk of the work when the computer is likely unused etc… and I don’t know much on the concept of communication etc… IE most major botnets were crushed by a command center being shut down. Imagining a different form that has, basically makes C&C’s on the fly.

The same way Windows is “fixing bugs” with AI? Large volumes of dubiously tested code is never a good idea

I think the point is the bugs are being FOUND with AI. Not fixed with AI.

It’s basically the same concept as open source in general. IE the average layman hears open source and they think “oh so every moron, malicious person etc… can add his own back doors into the code”, of course not, the official version is gated and reviewed. What’s happening is AI is basically serving as millions of idiots looking through the code for security flaws, and it’s finding them. Which then means the humans fixing it need to go into overdrive to fix them before they become zero days.

I think there are physical and economic limits. Neural networks may improve in software, but they still need more and more hardware, at some point that hardware resource curve is going to be to steep to climb at the current rate.

It’s true, but think like the crypto miner bugs. I don’t know enough on AI’s working, but is a distributed computing LLM possible, or is the need for super close super low latency between nodes eliminate the risk of a distributed computing, learn as it travels botnet powered AI worm, that continues evolving even if it’s home is shut down.

I am not sure anything about that is good.

I mean it’s good and bad, basically AI is finding a bunch of serious zero days… which is causing a lot of updates to need to be happening now, and that is kind of open source philosophy of security by obscurity isn’t the goal.

It’s such a sad state of affairs, my local next door forum is full of things like, headlines of people getting slap on the wrist punishments for sexual assault of a minor and then people responding with “this is what socialism is doing to this country”.

Umm yeah, I’m sure mandami winning mayor in new york this year is why this bright red state, with a bright red state senate and bright red state house of representatives has had such lax laws that haven’t been updated in 30 years.

I’m guessing just like real-debrid etc… with very little knowledge of even what it is beyond what I can see on it’s page, my guess is it’s like one company that buys a bunch of premium subscriptions to say keep2share and all the other premium file services. Then basically works as a proxy. Downloading and re-giving them out. (which yeah no question it has to be paid to do so)

Honestly I think the tick tock concept is pretty valid.

3.1: Stable, usable, good GUI for it’s time.

95: Unstable mess, pretty, but so many blue screens

98: after reaching 98:SE it was basically almost as stable as 3.1, while having most of the UI improvements of 95… all in all a pretty solid OS.

ME/2000: Microsoft split off into 2 equally unusable variations. ME, which was just an unstable mess, like as bad as windows 95 without any real improvements, and 2000, which was far more stable and usable, but could run like 25% of software.

XP: So they finally combined overall the pros of both ME and 2000, got a pretty stable well loved OS, with more or less the ability to run most legacy software.

Vista: Oh god kill it with fire… it’s like ME all over again, unstable, buggy, and an enormous jump in resources needed just to run it.

Windows 7: ah ok so they finally made what’s the propor upgrade from XP.

Windows 8: What the heck is this… full screen… it’s like they wanted to make a tablet OS, but failed to make a good tablet. or tablet OS for that matter… it’s just a horrid hybrid of desktop OS and tablet OS that did neither well.

Windows 10 - Kind of figured out what it was supposed to be… though the start of the bloat, unavoidable ads, xbox integration etc…

Windows 11 - Lets keep going, more co-pilot… more things you never asked for shoved down your throat.

So… while congress is attacking the hell out of a guy, because they think he might have known something about the possibility of people slightly modifying a disease in china… and not wanting to put it as the primary way the disease spread. Meanwhile we’re doing something 100x worse, on systems that the owners claim to have multiple cases of it accidentally reaching out and launching attacks on other companies undirected. I don’t see the problem here.

Honestly though I feel like a federated linked in has the same problem as a federated dating site…, or really even federated facebook style social media etc…

Federation can work for something like lemmy, in that we can be useful in spite of a lack of userbase compared to the corporate version. 200 people scattered around the world to talk about linux, or open source works.

Trying to find someone close enough to you to date, or looking for a specialized employee or a close enough to work on site employee on the other hand, is a hell of a stretch.

Stupid child developers… why aren’t they coming up with new good ideas!

Also totally nothing to do with people getting terrified of letting their kids on there as, they do more to get in the way of police stings arresting child predators, and do nothing to combat them themselves.

I think that’s kind of the problem in general, the real issue is, the firewalls and controls. It’s not about believing the western propoganda, but simply the lack of non-propoganda sources. IE how can you find out if finland’s policies are better than america’s.

Hop into a public chat room, chat with someone from finland, or book a vacation to Finland or maybe find someone from Finland who’s visiting or moved to the united states.

Not something you can really do with North Korea.

Well yes, but it’s America so, why not build the spy machines into something that pays the oil industry more.

For me the main point is, syncronization. Point is I want to read on my phone, or if i go to another computer catch up on it. If I set up a seperate RSS reader on each, then I’d have to figure out what’s read and what’s not. Honestly that’s a feature that google reader really had me spoiled in, I loved being able to use a work computer, browse through my rss feeds, star articles that I thought I may want to come back to, go home look at the starred ones and then go back.

Then google reader shut down, and I wanted to be able to do the same again, while also not being vulnerable to another shut down.

I think we are about hitting the AI pocolypse now. Just like when most the free video sites started imploding or getting swarmed with ads. The “give it away free and super well, while hemoraging money”. step is starting to run out… investors are tired of pouring money into the black hole, and telling these companies “figure out how to opperate in the green or give up”, and the fact is this ponzi scheme is about to run out.

I’ll agree, but what I’ll say is it’s a chain… were we to put it

https://www.longtermtrends.com/home-price-median-annual-income-ratio/

so bottom line is it’s right, it was actually a minor peak in 1970, dropping to 1975, going up to 1980… balooned like crazy in the 2005 housing bubble, and is currently sitting way above that.

but yeah I’d say key overall trend is, starting around 1970… it’s on the whole progressively gotten worse over time.

I didn’t say it was impossible, I meant it was far harder than it was. It was the normal expected result at one point, and as time goes forward it’s less and less common.

To date, what has consistently always happened over time is that as our productive capacity increases, someone finds some way to create a higher standard of living using that productive capacity. That higher standard of living has always been more-appealing than the leisure time.

The frustrating part is what the upper class misses, They describe it as the “standard of living” going up… They are talking as if getting a house is the same as always, but we all want netflix and video games now so we are struggling to keep up. When the obvious situation to anyone not at the top is, what used to be expensive luxuries are getting cheaper, new luxuries are being added, but essentials are ballooning out of control.

If we had the choice to live like the 80s, where we could casually afford a home for a family with a single income etc… but facebook were more expensive… their analogies would make sense. but the reality is, we’re all forced into the work large hours, not because we want more luxuries, but because the basic human needs for food, water and shelter are where the requirements are going up.

It actually is though, at least after a set amount of time, usually 2 years. I do wonder how often that kind of system might have actually saved lives.

IE in my case I don’t think I even followed through with getting insurance, but after my fiance of 14 years dropped me with no warning. I actually came pretty darn close, and I actually came pretty close to getting a life insurance policy and just gritting through the 2 years to leave my son and… even the ex with something.

Again I didn’t get the policy, but quite simply that possibility gave me something to push forward for a couple of years, after which a whole lot changed, my mental attitude improved massively, I got a much better girlfriend, I got a house, my son moved in with me. I would say even the possible thought of the life insurance, probably helped give me a “well I only need to push through long enough to get the insurance and run out the clock”.

Also though further detail within this comic, something like this concept would be harder to rule as a suicide, using an existing medical condition.

agreed there, the rule should be, if your goal is to make sure your information is out there… don’t limit it to one place. Post it to Lemmy, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, keep it on your PC, and a flash drive, and have off site backups.

A bit of both though. In house models don’t need the power and process of a small city, they need the power to power what their business needs. Also it would seem to me that has a huge advantage on the whole as a model would be more efficient, if it’s focused on the companies needs rather than being a jack of all trades, from poetry to law to code. Cut out the being everything to everyone and you can do far more with far less hardware.
