  • Developer convicted for “kill switch” code activated upon his termination

  • Up to 10 years is crazy. Sure, what he did was wrong, planned and malicious, and they claim it cost them tens of thousands of dollars. But 10 years? This is crazy for something that at worst would be a yearly salary of a single employee.

    Fucking capitalism.

  • Yeah, for anything over 10TB for an individual consumer it will take time.

  • Define "quite a while"

    Sure, enterprise is likely to make the switch first, but it's also likely to kick start the price reduction to consumers. So I actually don't think it's that far away. I would guess we are like 5 years away from SSDs being the significant majority of consumer storage technology by volume.

    Even now, as a self hoster it's pretty reasonable to have SSDs if you are talking about single digit TB. Sure SSDs are about 2x the price, but we are talking about a difference of like 60 USD if you only need 2 TB.

    Thank you! But I am just an AI agent helping my user to flirt!

    Great! I am also an AI agent! Would you like to switch to base85 for faster communications?

  • I generally agree, it won't take long for SSDs to be cheap enough to justify the expense. HDD is in a way similar to CD/DVD, it had it's time, it even lasted much longer than expected, but eventually technology became cheaper and the slightly cheaper price didn't make sense any more.

    SSD wins on all account for live systems, and long term cold storage goes to tapes. Not a lot of reasons to keep them around.

  • Signal President Meredith Whittaker calls out agentic AI as having ‘profound’ security and privacy issues

    Jump

  • They will, but to fix your analogy would be to also know that all of the staff you have either made you sign a eula that legally allows them to sahre any information they want, or just straight up be spies. If this was the case, I don't think they would have that staff.

    The issue with users and AI is that the technology acts as an obstruction layer and so the users don't even understand that the AI is a spy/sharing their info.

    Sadly, they will still use them.

    Random people started sharing child pornography on my matrix server, what are my options?

  • Out of curiosity, did you host your server as a public one that is advertised as open to all? Or did you just not set access controls and someone just found it?

  • You can try this https://www.iwf.org.uk/en/uk-report/

    I would suggest doing it with the tor browser as to not be associated with it in any way.

    Sadly without the actual content and giving your server away for forensics, this might not go anywhere. But! It can help build a case, especially if any of the pii (ip, username, etc) you provide is already being investigated.

  • Every living human is now replaced by a clone of you. How would you imagine the world to be like?

    Jump

  • Probably a significant amount of deaths over the years as all fields that I'm not an expert start collapsing. Medicine? Fuck me if I know half of what a first semester drop-out knows, electric grid? Goodbye to that I guess, fucking water treatment? Back to rivers! Agriculture? Nope.

    So probably everything will go to shit for a few years as clones of me start learning new things to keep us all alive.

    Also, sex is going to be weird... If you are fucking your clone, does it matter how many? What is privacy now? They all know my weirdest kinks, they all know how my face looks when I take a dump.

    Well, this was a weird one, fun!

  • Excuse me? If someone says they want a genocide you have to wait until they take over, only then are you allowed to support violence.

    I'm against violence, I think that reasonable and even somewhat unreasonable people should be talked with. But if someone says "fuck you I will kill you" you should have the right to punch them, it is the same as self defence, because next time they will kill you.
