Microslop has designed a hardware solution to disable AI features on Windows for advanced users.

From the outside, freedom always looks like chaos.

This isn’t a weapon, and probably won’t work as intended either.

“Space lasers” don’t work over long distances because the light spreads out. (inverse square law) A pinpoint laser is almost 2m wide when pointed at a low flying aircraft.

Increasing intensity doesn’t work because you’ll need a) a Dyson sphere level of energy input. or b) a mirror big enough to occupy a significant fraction of our orbit.

This is just “data center in space” fiction

Is Israel and Zionism not bad enough in reality that you have to write an Oliver Stone script to jazz it up? Is genocide too boring?

NES & SuperNES. Because that’s how old I am.

Did they fix the bug where Ublock Origin doesn’t work?

Critical thinking is great, but none of us can sustain it perpetually. Shortcuts and heuristics are the way we actually evaluate the world.

The good news is that self-awareness will improve your ability to detect deception regardless of the quality of the lie. learn what kind of deceptions ring true to your ears, and you’ll be less credulous. Be doubly suspicious of the things that confirm your priors.

Even more so if your tastes change over time.

This is a challenge. I’ve grown on hip-hop and rap, and finding the media is a struggle. For example, the first 'Run the Jewels" album is basically unavailable on CD.

That’s not realistic. I have a CD collection, but that took decades and thousands of dollars. Plus I had access to Columbia House (if you know, you know) and a robust used market. That doesn’t exist anymore.

I don’t think a person who’s sensitive to $11 a month is going to be interested in a collection of $25 CDs.

This isn’t fair. Madagascar is 592,800 square kilometres. You shouldn’t discriminate against prompt engineers in their studies before they’ve even had a chance to take those future-skills into the workforce. In 2024, Madagascar was estimated to have 32m residents. The professor should be ashamed.

is their a meaningful difference between open weight and open source?

Andrew Tate is in SHU.

$15.5B dollars, invented out of ether, and bestowed on the lucky gamblers. The stock market is so efficient that it can create wealth without bothering with economic activity. No jobs created; no products produced; and nothing to trickle down.

Elon mad because he’s being exploited for other people’s profit. Delightful.

When discussing conservative women, it sure would be nice if all you “leftists” would remember that this isn’t the opportunity to air your misogyny. Thank you.

I don’t understand why bigots who use anti-discrimination laws to shield themselves don’t just die of irony.

Reading the article, the reason proprietary “AI” models didn’t work is because they block the kind of code used in attacks to protect themselves. The Chinese models weren’t superior, they were just able to be run locally without restriction.

The real story is that agentic attacks live and in the wild.

Maybe I’m just a prude, but from my perspective, anal sex was no were near as popular before internet porn. My friends never talked about that. It never occurred to me to try it. Until somewhere around the turn of the century, and now it’s everywhere.

Microslop is confused that the people forced to pay for shitty software won’t pony up for the optional shitty software.
