I'm sure revoking the sailor's pay will right the ship.

Gutting education is part of the plan for any authoritarian takeover. Knowledge is power. Why give the people the power? How very unauthoritarian.

As though CAPTACHA's are that effective, and Joe Blow is personally responsible for the rise of AI.

Here's a better idea for a movie: Sarah Connor kicks the teeth in of tech billionaire bros at Open AI, Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA. And Elon too of course, fuck that creep.

You expect to own your body? Hah, that's cute.

Just wait for the enshittification of Neuralink.

It's funny that with all our technology, paper is still the most durable storage medium (under normal conditions) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Sophistication often creates fragility. The human mind marvels at sophistication naturally; appreciation for resilience usually only comes after that fragile thing has broken. Of course it's too late by then.

This is not how patents work. At all.

For one, patent owners are generally more than happy to license their technology to integrators, and even competitors, if there is money to be made.

More importantly, patents cannot be used to get exclusivity on products. Rather, patents can only protect novel approaches to how a product is made or served.

The patent system is designed to protect R&D costs exclusively, not some get out of jail card for anti trust. Of course, the patent office isn't perfect, the system does get abused in anti-competitive ways. But in the end, it's rare that that results in less consumer choice, because of licensing deals.

Is it incredible? Poe's law hasn't gone anywhere.

There is no rule that the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees.
