Cats and dogs living together, MASS HYSTERIA!

It’s funny that the easiest way to break infrastructure around the world is not to be a world class hacker, but to ask computers to simply subtract a second from their clocks.

I had a hunch going into the article and I was right.

I could have had some pity for those devs who are supporting the open source ethos being flooded with AI grifters spamming bug reports for the money. However that pity instantly goes right out the window given that they’re working for one of the biggest companies pushing AI and why tech hardware is becoming more and more out of reach for the average Joe.

This reminds me of that episode on Last Week Tonight about lethal injection. Lethal injection isn’t about a “humane” way to kill someone. It’s more about providing comfort to people who support the death penalty but don’t want to think about the morbid details about killing people. I wonder how many people would stop supporting the death penalty if they were forced to witness an execution live, especially if it’s lethal injection. If the horror of witnessing a botched lethal injection doesn’t at least give people pause about the whole idea of execution, then I don’t know what will.
