  I’m so, so tired of being proved right 12 months later. And still treated like I’m a lunatic about the next thing I’m demonstrably right about. I’m not clairvoyant, I’m just not taken in by hype.

  Commodore (yes that one) have released an Alien Breed 35th Anniversary Collection today. https://www.gog.com/en/game/alien_breed_35th_anniversary #alienbreed #gaming #drmfree

  Have we seen a single instance of AI attacking anything yet? And by attacking, I don’t mean fucking morons automating exploit tools and pointing them at things. None of it is novel. Pull the other one.

  Your first take on this might be “good!”. But look at the language used and the context Microsoft released this under. It puts the ideas on the table, much like Anthropic, that AI might kill us all, replace us, become sentient, or that it in some way deserves ‘rights’ or should be subject to wellbeing measures. https://www.theverge.com/news/994566/microsoft-humanist-ai-code-of-conduct By saying it out loud, you’ve created the other side of a debate that didn’t need to be had. Wake me up when...

  There is an irony in the current POTUS *fixing* the Reflecting Pool, by removing its ability to reflect.

  @Viss@mastodon.social @theorangetheme@en.osm.town @tati@eldritch.cafe @cR0w@infosec.exchange there’s places we don’t even do that, just 4ft lengths a few inches apart over any large opening in buildings. Completely invisible to drones. Event the cheap stuff would hold a hefty boi. Area denial. Super common in conflict zones, just with higher test. You’d be amazed how little line stops someone making progress

  Here’s the thing the AI companies, the security companies, and the misc tech vendors don’t tell you about the current vulnerability wave. Yes, coordinated disclosure is essentially dead. Yes, time to exploit is so small it is an irrelevant measure. But no, this will not persist. It can’t. At the very fundamental level, nearly all vulnerabilities can and will be fixed. Cont…

  Can’t get over the hilarity of KDE Plasma’s implementation of the shake-to-locate-cursor feature… the cursor just keeps inflating if you keep shaking the mouse.

  It’s interesting how different fedi instances alter image time metadata. Some instances appear to remove it all, replacing with the posted date and time, others appear to retain the original date and time. I’m pretty sure the latter isn’t standard behaviour.

  I’m not saying the tech bros want slavery back. BUT their primary objective is making subservient things do everything for them and not having any right to recourse, or considering their societal impact, whilst being able to absolve themselves of all accountability. “AI is crashing so back to robot butlers I guess, but slap the half arsed chatbot on it too, execs will lose their shit. Who cares if it murders the olds?” I’ve seen cleaning and delivery bots in supermarkets, we’ve got robot law...

  Thank the Old Ones that the World Cup half time “mandatory” fun is over. Quite possibly the worst spectacle ever committed to film. No idea how it was allowed given that it’s against regulation either, with good reason.

  I believe my header image is AI generated. It is a stock image of some sort that I snipped to fit. Going to fix that.

  If you're wondering why AI is still being forced into every facet of technology and society, it's simple. Let me walk you through it. First though, you should note that something doesn't need to be a conspiracy to make the end outcome the same. ...

  My new Gigabyte Aorus 9070 XT Elite is a real powerhouse of a card. The mildest of undervolts it is giving 5080 performance on old hardware, with a Ryzen 1700X at stock speeds, on new titles. Don’t even need Resize Bar which the 1700X can’t use. Importantly, I trust the VRMs and power distribution on Gigabyte cards, and their cooling is better than most when pushed. In a time when prices are so high, and a Raspberry Pi is nearly £300, it’s probably one of the highest ROI in consumer tech right...
