@nf3xn Not a conspiracy theory, but just asking: is it an op?

Open source software is the softest target out there in many cases, and building a history of "my AI is helping, really" might be a cover for later intel ops in OSS?

@nf3xn to be fair, Google's been playing that violin for more than a decade now.
His nervous timbre tells me that he recognises that time is running out for AI adoption. So unlike Zuck he is not completely disconnected from reality. Investors and the general public at large will baulk at burning electrons if there is no tangible benefit outside tech. He started off with some fantasy tale about that one poor farmer with a smartphone and an internet connection in a field somewhere in rural India asking an AI for horticultural advice. With a straight face. *piggie snort laughs*

@nf3xn I was thinking that Europe pretty much had its shit together, but then I come here to Masto and read your posts and it's depression time again.
Corruption out in the open. How can the White House have the power to approve a merger or block a competing one where Trump’s own son-in-law stands to make millions? This is why the FTC should remain independentβ€”and why Trump wants to control it.

FPV drones do have limits, we should be able to open a wide cordon within minutes of these appearing. All Russian visa should be reviewed, these are skilled operators coming in via Hungary. I am shocked that we do not have better counter-drone measures in place. We need to remind Belgians of the millions that fought over their bog and died. We need to remove Hungary's veto.

We must do something.
