"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Easy. They made computers capable of doing the hacking 10s of thousands of dollars, and once sales fell enough they started requiring traceable registration of every CPU to be built into the hardware before it can be sold, and I doubt black market parts will be any cheaper. With the price increases, the number of people capable of doing the hacking plummeted.
And even if you did have one of those, and the skill (with no tutorials available anymore, btw... certainly not on Youtube, which most young people prefer to learn from) ,by the time roving death robots are on the streets, it'll just be a matter of sending one to your door once you're identified. By this point there won't be any more due process. There already isn't any for immigrants - citizens are right around the corner.
We better start picking up C again. We'll need to design ultra-efficient software(OS included) for those who cling to an old computer they already have.
