"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.

Where's the Terminator film that takes the POV of a billionaire's child who learns about the securing of natural resource extraction sites and trade routes against piracy (actually perfectly normal people fighting for survival against the 0.1%) through the use of automated drones? It would be interesting to see how ultra wealthy schools screen for intelligent children for the dual purpose of identifying candidate leaders to keep the idiot dynastic majority-minority shareholders (they hold majority shares but make up a minority of the population) in line as well as identifying potential rebel sympathizers that almost always arise among potential leaders. I feel like I'm echoing yet another 2010 young adult dystopian plot…

Whoever's gonna direct it already fell from a 4 story window after shooting themselves twice in the back of the head.

Cool, so how did they make it unhackable?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

So I see you've chosen Horizon as your future post-apocalyptic hellscape fantasy...
