A non Roku Smart TV that you just don’t connect to the internet at all, ever

I think that’s Spez’s plan

In short, competition breeds innovation

I finally cracked and made an account

It’s not worth it, you basically get alerts on the account for everything to the point of uselessness

You did read how these trolls have alts built up over years, right? These aren’t normal trolls OP is dealing with

So what they are saying is they are willing to take liability and thus be open to being sued over this as they know of the scams but say they do not break community guidelines

Got it

At a minimum, one should be able to cut off access to the internet so a company can’t EoS killswitch it/pull a Nintendo and send an EoS fuck you update that breaks any attempts to put control in the user’s hands

Mind, that’s a really fucking low bar, and would be depressing if that’s all regulation guaranteed

Generally, when I consider uploading my conciousness, I imagine being able to store it in an offline device connected to my body and used more to bypass slow organic breakdown

Any cybernetic upgrades that you can’t, at a minimum, shut the connection to the internet off is not an upgrade because, well, they can send a killswitch or any other number of things

One thing which actually scares me with AI ia we get one chance. And there are a bunch who don’t think of repercussions, just profit/war/etc.

A group can be as careful as possible but it doesn’t mean shit if their Smarter Than Human AI isn’t also the first one out because as soon as it can improve itself, nothing is catching up

EDIT: This is also with the assumption of any groups doing so being dumb enough to give it capabilities to build its own body, obviously yes one that can’t jump to hardware capable of creating and assembling new parts is much less of a threat, as the thread points out

Sadly, can’t get my server to make the jump. Doesn’t help that Revolt is missing a few features and Matrix just… Doesn’t work at all for the flow of the server

Right now a bridge bot does heavy lifting for when Discord does piss off enough users to cause everybody to jump over
