The solution are the bent sheet metal cans that only take one manufacture, a few machines, and some steel to make. The way folded towels have been dispensed for >50 years. But everyone needs to make money on everything, so having a metal can that you pull one folded paper towel from isn’t enough control over the one person that wants to steal the whole thing.

Yeah, really awesome that 2 decades of market manipulation allowed them to be the monopoly on AI. Such good capitalism, when even the longest silicon producer, Intel, can’t even compete. I love my two party capitalism.

escalating consequences for unintentional non-compliance.

Oops! Spied on you. Sooowwwyy. I’ll take a paid week off(to think about your nudes).

I’m scared that if they start including all our shit posting in their model data, it will roast me back for saying dumb stuff.

The McDonalds here had an AI prompt for like a week. I don’t care because all I need to do is say the number for my mobile order and it was faster. But everyone over 30 would be screaming and yelling shit about “who are you”, “what’s happening”, “am I supposed to talk now?”. I still get stuck behind old people that struggle with actual humans at the drive thru.

General technological competence is so far behind what can be offered to consumers. People are the bottle neck, look at bear proof trash can designs. And I don’t think it’s getting better like it was. With the internet now packaged into 2 click apps, the majority of kids are just doing that instead of getting into FOSS and Linux like the majority of the early 2000s internet users.

Holy shit, I just realized the true problem! We need to make chainsaws illegal to own, operate, and manufacture. Just look at the statistics. Oh my God, I am the human that figured it out! Make chainsaws illegal!

Yup. Quick slip is all it takes. My mom and plenty of other people have had it happen.

I honestly don’t know. It’s going to have to be some peer system. If and what takes off I don’t know yet, but I’m watching and want to know. It’s going to be some peer based infrastructure. Just looking at the phones everyone carries, you got like 256gb of storage, 2 thru 5g, Bluetooth, wifi, nfc, all this wireless connection, and the processing to back it up. It needs to be easy as torrenting was in 2005, we need to make the infrastructure and UI easy for everyone, then a p2p or i2p whatever can take off.

We need to decentralized the internet. The technology is widely available to regular people, it even already exists in the new tech your average person is just buying in a regular consumer devices. Centralized hardwire networks have had a great run for 40 or so years, but the freedom they offered was bound to get regulated by those that need to stay in control or hurt their ego.

Wireless mesh networks are only happening in a very tiny niche, will that take off the same way internet did pre2000s or will everyone take the easy dopamine.

I sure hope I never get injured using my chainsaw out in the forest with no cell service. It’s going to be so awesome bleeding out in a truck that cuts to 5mph max because I’m too busy holding the tourniquet on my leg while I drive. That’s certainly NEVER happened. NEVER happens, to nobody, including my mother.

Look at fleet trucks. Usually you can get them without any bs. Like even no ac, just a frame, body, and powertrain.

Also fancy electronics like that are pretty easy to disable hardware wise. Break a cap in the voltage regulation, break a few pins of a IC, anything really that functional kills it but still let’s everything else think it’s there or there a problem it has to ignore. Like microphone modules, I shove a pin it and scramble it then fill it with CA glue. Hardware thinks it’s there but it ain’t doing anything.
