user8341116on How Google obliterated my 4 year old Chrome extension featuring 24k+ users

I got pulled over for speeding once, all I did was lean out the window and say, hey officer, what gives? Everyone else was going the same speed as me? He said yeah you're right, have a good one!

Actually that didn't happen because that's not the way the world works.

Bahahaahhahahahaha. O-our chatbot got taken advantage of! We were completely blind that this could possibly happen! But they're the worst of humanity, the people that found an exploit not the engineers who are incapable of implementing even simple safeguards!!

user8341116on Learning from Tay’s introduction

user8341116on Answers to your questions about Apple and security

Winner winner chicken dinner! The reason this is such a public matter is because it is going to be used as impetus to change laws so that data gained using such methods can be legally used as evidence in a court of law.

This is not really a new issue though. If a guy has a safe in his house and the cops get a warrant to search his house, they'll ask him what the code to the safe is. At that point he can tell them, or tell them he doesn't know and got it at a yard sale and was hoping to crack it one day. Of course I guess they could just take a diamond cutter to it at point. Can't really do that with software (barring quantum computers).

Nothing is possible with that attitude.

"What happens" is, the only reason 99% of humans are allowed to exist in the first place is because they were a good source of labor/taxes for the ruling class. Guess what happens the 99% no longer have anything worthwhile to offer?

user8341116on Building AI

Well, let me lay out the plan for you that Zuckerberg et al have in mind. 1. Create AI 2. Purge 80 - 90% of humanity in a WW 3. Live as kings of the planet indefinitely (since AI will have figured out a way to stop aging in humans by then). Personally, I have no problem with this plan even if it means my death, and that feeling is confirmed every time I turn I read the news.
