While I understand that password reuse is a problem I also understand that remembering 50+ passwords, because literally everything requires you to make an account, is impossible. And some of these password managers seem shady themselves. And if said manager needs a password that means someone only needs the one password which puts us back at square one.

These days I've resorted to physically writing my passwords down because I straight up don't trust anything that connects to the internet anymore for this kind of information. Like some lame puzzle in a video game where you have to look around the room for the password. But it still feels safer than anything that's connected to the internet.

For normal people, yea. The line should have been drawn years ago. I'm just saying this is right up their alley because things are actually that fucked right now.

Why not both? I like backups anyway.

If this is their way of making AI, with brute forcing the technology without innovation, AI will probably cost more for these companies to maintain infrastructure than just hiring people. These AI companies are already not making a lot of money for how much they cost to maintain. And unless they charge companies millions of dollars just to be able to use their services they will never make a profit. And since companies are trying to use AI to replace the millions they spend on employees it seems kinda pointless if they aren't willing to prioritize efficiency.

It's basically the same argument they have with people. They don't wanna treat people like actual humans because it costs too much, yet letting them love happy lives makes them more efficient workers. Whereas now they don't want to spend money to make AI more efficient, yet increasing efficiency would make them less expensive to run. It's the never ending cycle of cutting corners only to eventually make less money than you would have if you did things the right way.

Technology in most cases progresses on a logarithmic scale when innovation isn't prioritized. We've basically reached the plateau of what LLMs can currently do without a breakthrough. They could absorb all the information on the internet and not even come close to what they say it is. These days we're in the "bells and whistles" phase where they add unnecessary bullshit to make it seem new like adding 5 cameras to a phone or adding touchscreens to cars. Things that make something seem fancy by slapping buzzwords and features nobody needs without needing to actually change anything but bump up the price.

But if someone torches a Toyota Camry or spray paints a Ford F150 it's just vandalism. Only when it affects the richest man in the world is it considered terrorism.

And without it most people would not even read anything about it until it's too late. Even with this argument it still accomplishes its goal better than a webpage or download that 80% of people will procrastinate on or forget completely. Case in point, the information has been out there on the internet for decades yet nobody is prepared for an emergency until it's at their front door. And if the internet is out you already missed your chance.

And what about an emergency where you lose internet and/or electricity?

I mean, nobody has stopped him yet, so this would be a weird place to start.

Trump is gonna go for the pardon world record any% on this one. If he gets convicted at all.

And just like all the oligarchs, supporters, and followers supporting fascists in the past they will all be fucked over in the end. It happens every single time and it's why they try and get rid of education to hide the overwhelming evidence. It happened in Germany with Hitler, it happened in Italy with Mussolini, and it's currently happening in Russia as oligarchs and people that disagree "fall" out of windows.

People think they want fascism because they think they are on the winning side. The problem is, the only winning side is the singular man that is in charge. Everyone else is expendable. Whether you are the vice president, a Senator, a financial supporter, or a voter, you are not on the winning side as soon as you have served your purpose.

And this is why I own the discs and ripped them to my PC.
