I’m jealous you managed to finish it in a single sitting. I’m still not done, started and stopped three times so far.

I place is squarely in the “It insists upon itself.” category of movies.

I have refuted the concept that this is a method for bribing. I already did it.

There is nothing let to discuss.

You asked me to explain. I did. You completely ignored what I said.

You didn’t ask for more clarification. You just said you think it’s still possible.

I’d would be a fool to not see that as a wtf moment.

Liquidity isn’t a mechanism for facilitating bribes, it’s just isnt.

I really do not know what more to say here. it is clear to me that you do not understand or rather do not want to understand because you’ve already decided you know.

This is why I was flippant in my intial responses. I was quite certain you would remained convinced of your own fantasy. It takes very little knowledge of markets to see the flaws in what you want to be true.

When the coin is created it’s worth fractions of a cent. So the people who buy the coin aren’t paying a bribe; they are collaborating on the future rug pull.

The value of the coin rises as other people buying up the coin after that initial period as they try and get in ahead of the rug pull.

This is also all happening in public on a ledger than will forever been public. So it’s literally the stupidest place to do a bribe.

There are coins specifically designed to obfuscate sellers and buyers with quesrionable levels of success but these are not memecoins. They require sophisticated knowledge that is larger than the sum of the entire Trump administration’s collective knowledge basis by several magnitudes. This is only true because there is a tremendous amount of negative knowledge; what we used to call lies and other bullshit.

No. I understand you think that’s how this works but it’s not. That’s simply not how crypto currency works in anyway. This is some nonsensical Hollywood imagining of them.

This idea that it is about bribes relies on not having any clue how a memecoin works.

I always think of the stockholders because often I am him.

My frugal lifetime is to pirate the content and used the saved subscription price to purchase additional stock each month.

Play both sides and always come out on top, or something.

All of that can be equally true for cloud infrastructure. There is argument that the cloud company is more incentivizing to use 2 year olds to save labor costs.

In the cloud admin world, no one knows you’re a toddler.

On-prem allows you 100% control on the downtime. You build internal trust by deciding when to upgrade, availability of hot swap, rollback, etc.

Cloud is just trust and it’s out of your control if they break that trust.

With all the rounds of layoffs they’ve had, their remaining employees would need to be quite stupid to give a shit what this disloyal piece trash says.

With free cancer!

We already allow simulated rape in tv and movies. AI simply allows a more graphical portrayal.

Correct. This quickly approaches thought crime.

What about an AI gen of a violent rape and murder. Shouldn’t that also be illegal.

But we have movies that have protected that sort of thing for years; graphically. Do those the become illegal after the fact?

And we also have movies of children being victimized so do these likewise become illegal?

We already have studies that show watching violence does not make one violent and while some refuse to accept that, it is well established science.

There is no reason to believe the same isn’t true for watching sexual assault. There are been many many movies that contain such scenes.

But ultimately the issue will become that there is no way to prevent it. The hardware to generate this stuff is already in our pockets. It may not be efficient but it’s possible and efficiency will increase.

The prompts to generate this stuff are easily shared and there is no way to stop that without monitoring all communication and even then I’m sure work around would occur.

Prohibition requires society sacrifice freedoms and we have to decide what weee willing to sacrifice here because as we’ve seen with or prohibitions, once we unleash the law on one, it can be impossible to undo.

The official reason they dropped it is because there were security concerns. The more likely reason was the massive outcry that occurs when Apple does these questionable things. Crickets when it’s Google.

The feature was re-added as a child safety feature called “Comminication Saftey” that is optional on a child accounts that will automatically block nudity sent to children.

The one I have I bought long long ago and it does indeed cut without leaving any sharp edges. I’m not sure if that’s universal or just the type I have, I purchased it without any research.

I don’t want to suggest any specific brand because fuck corporations. But the one I have is “Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch Electric Automatic Can Opener with Easy Push Down Lever” so that smooth touch might be the keyword to look for or they could have some ridiculous trademark on the term.

I didn’t know this was an option until I bought this one and it appears I’m not alone on this. Such a simple device no one thinks about and the default option is primitive.

Lobbying is only a small factor.

Momentum is the main cause.

A systemic shift is required and those who have good insurance are afraid that of ending up with less.

Even if those profits are distributed as shares to the employees. Those who put in the most effort end up with the smallest share.

Legal pyramid scheme with at least half the country having delusions of some day being the profiteer.

Side cutting openers are a must in a home with children.

Except humans aren’t just any apes, humans are great apes.

Given the topic, this distinction is highly relevant.
