  • If AI says that to save them from climate change, humanity has to shutdown AI...

  • What could they do? Let's say it's factual. If AI remains a commodity that no one has exclusive control then the only thing would be to:

    A. Coordinated propaganda machine that dooms everyone eventuallyB. Pivot

    I don't think A is likely and billionaires who fund AI would just find a different subject. It has been done before, many times over.

  • Do you think its actually possible to start a real honest business in 2026?

  • What an incredibly pesimistic and sad take. It has never been as easy to launch a life changing product as it is today.

  • As someone who did enough SEO work for a lifetime the pre-ai internet was likely even less reliable. People have rose tinted glasses on.

  • With all these new AI watermark removers, how are we supposed to know what is OC anymore and not some prompt made slop that is done well?

    Jump

  • It's fundamentally impossible to watermark digital data permanently without controlling the hardware so the only answer here is to use brain.

    I suspect hardware watermarking market will emerge as those types of watermarks are much harder to remove. I.e. the phone camera uses cryptography to sign that this picture was taken by a real phone. So proof will be inverted and that might actually be a good thing.

  • What's something that gives you hope about the future?

  • Curent generation of children. Despite meme spam like 67 or Italian brain rot - we did same shit with badger badger, lost the game etc - the emotional intelligence and awareness of upcoming generation is very encouraging. If we leave these people something good then the future of our civilization is in good hands.

  • No, it's the same as searching the web or your local library. Perfect information simply doesn't exist at scale so one must know how to verify any source and use basic baysian thought.

  • Satellite constellations could cut that down by 33%

    Ok this is pure marketing bullshit. Source? The physics simply doesn't check out.

  • Yes but aren't people entitled to revenue of the brand they build? And I dont mean Nike here but something like a band selling their t shirts etc. The copying in chinese manufacturing is going too far to the point where it's a net negative on our society and I say this as someone who's generally anti copyright.

    Making new tech innovation is such a gamble these days - you only have a few months to make back money you spent on your initial design because manufacturers just overpower you eventually unless you make it not worth it for them through explicit brand protection strategies. It's such a waste of everyone's resources and stiffles human effort overall.

    That being said i think the most realistic answer here is in house manufacturing which is becoming more and more acessible but still a long road to go, especially in more complex niches like electronics. You either ship a competitively priced product and hope you make your effort back in a few months or build in house for 3x the market price and even then get only a bit more than those few months. It's not a healthy, just environment no matter how you look at it.

  • No I dont think that's true statistically speaking. My cousin works in brand protection and IP theft of contemporary creators is by far the majority. I'm generally a free software and anti copyright but manufacturing theft is really pushing me in favor of copyright here. Most of it is so incredibly blatant and bad faith - it's not a good thing unless it's actually a practical device like medicine or something.

  • Yeah but someone has to design the thing

  • They do own the IP though and I dont know how we feel about physical product IP rights? Those are kinda useful.

  • I can imagine some use cases for faster ping between two low orbit satellites could be important but my imagination begins and ends at rocket guidance. I don't see that ever being useful for 99.9% of networking. The signal has to go down to earth receiver at some point and atmosphere and dish overhead will always lose to a cable.

    It's a boring answer - but cable will remain undefeated until some magic breakthrough in physics comes along. It's simply just that good.

  • and what's in those few kilometers? not atmosphere? Sure the signal travels a bit faster between satellites themselves but this is not relevant in modern networking. Almost everything is cached on edge in your regional server these days so only "the last mile" is what matters for latency. Even if you ignore all this the math would still favor cable every time - 66% reliable speed of light will always beat "potential 100% speed of light sometimes for some part of the distance"
