Someone will have to. At our company we still have the glass seiling. But I’m pretty sure everyone knows that new people are pretty much useless so we have to grow them into someone useful. If they leave it hurts all the way up corporate. Try different companies and see if you can find one that cares. In my experience big companies really truly suck much. But they are stable for you to keep helping them. Small companies are stable and full of emotional problems. But that’s my kind of people.

I bet that information was already available to business owners. In other words, they totally knew it was you complaining about the toilet paper they used for example.

How about right now? How’s that going?

How’s that going? I just read that there are several lawsuits about these SSDs loosing all data.

Don’t sell your self short like that. I’ve been working since 2003 in engineering and I wouldn’t trust anything that came out of an AI without confirming it with someone with a degree.

Additionally, think of AI as a librarian with photographic memory. It will never ask the right questions. Additionally its memory is influenced by what it has read and its not photographic is mixographic…it will remix any text you give it. Best it can do is not misspell words. Otherwise you can’t trust anything it returns.

You on the other hand can do all sorts of knowledge gathering, inferring, etc and make knowledge based decisions rather than text based decisions.

They need to invent an inquiring-gpt or Q-GPT. Otherwise they’ll need humans to do the digging.

That’s a funny way to say they shouldn’t be allowed to be on the net by themselves until they are 18.

Going back to the Napster days there was an analogy that the internet is like a street. If you leave a photo or an mp3 available on the street, then I can take it as I pass by.

Well similarly, if you allow your kid on the street and the internet is basically like the pink zone in Amsterdam, your kid will see things. Also they will be susceptible to abusers and advertisers.

For that reason, we should always opt for local software for them to use, no social media and no presence on the net. Also anyone doing business on the net should be barred from doing business with a kid on the net.

Well, I liked how Microsoft teams/Skype made docs easily accessible. But as always MS totally fucked up big time. So I setup my own book library, music library and photo library. I love Joplin for my notes between devices, navidrome for music, photoprism for photos. That’s what I think the future internet should include.

Now AI…instead of us paying for an AI chip to deport our daily motions and emotions to coca cola so it can decide what size shoes we should wear and when, I’d like to propose something. Could a company give me an AI chip that can search and categorize all my files such that I can ask questions about them? But without double crossing me and telling Macy’s about the size of my left ball? No the internet should not be big brother keeping us trapped. It should be freeing… Welcome Mr.Johnson! I’ve calculated your income to inflation risk and have formulated two strategies for improvement. Here’s your personal news… I know of three favorable sexual partners living near us and have organized a fun get together this weekend for you. Your car is fully charged but you should probably do work from home today since its meeting’s day. Your favorite Shakespeare quote, would you like me to recite it in French translated to Japanese with Mexican accent? No? Well, if there’s anything else I can do for you…not for Nike, Nikon, Costco, Apple or Ford or Chiquita Banana, just let me know…

In the beginning we used to exchange cassettes. You would have a boombox with two cassettes. You would play one while you recorded on the other. Then you gave the cassette back to your friend. Next was the VCR with the big ass cassettes.

Then you would do the same with floppies, then zip disks. Then one day CD recording was a thing, then DVDs. Then thumb drives and now portable HDDs. Basically the cheapest form or recording is always the most popular way for people to share stuff.

The only ones who don’t want us to share are those who want to make millions by never innovating.

The headline got me on the first third.

Yeah lol.

Good, I only want to pay for the parts that don’t send my data to Google and their partners.

So authors must declare legally “this book must not be used for AI training unless a license is agreed on” as a clause in the book purchase.

Honey, are those train tracks? … Yes looks like we’ll turn left on to the tracks for 1/2 a mile. Its a detour.

Someone might remember Bill 300 years from now as a bump on the road for Linux.

How do you heil a Tesla cab?..you don’t. Unless you want to end up rotting in a concentration camp in El Salvador. Fuck face is exactly the type who would rape you in the morning and then walk outside the room into the balcony and shoot an innocent bystander for no reason. See “Schindler’s list”. So you don’t.

Let’s not? I think we’ve had enough robots with AI for now. Thank you.

Step 4 is in my opinion the most clever and important part… Basically if you remove your home drive and boot, you get a vanilla computer. If you put it back, you get your computer back…ie, if you fuck up your Linux or windows install you just remove your home, reinstall blind and put your home back in…like you never left!!! Plus if your drive for the os dies, you can just make another! Or you can even take your home folder with you from one Linux box to a new one in the blink of an eye…a very slow blink… Hold on, I’m still pulling the drive…open slowly… Done! See? Easy!

LOL exactly!

Yeah, isolated home drive is the way to go. You just nuke Linux and windows and restart but your stuff is safe.
