Sure, but let’s call it what it is: fascism. We need to stop inventing fancy names for things that have existed for a century.

There is a difference, but largely in the industry whose capital backs this new fascism. In the 1920s and ‘30s, the dominant / ascendant form of capital was manufacturing capital, so those were the biggest backers of German fascism (both in Germany and the US). In our time in the US, the ascendant capital is big tech, but most of their assets are in cloud computing. This will inform the face it puts forward, so it does change the modes and styles of its propaganda, but you best believe the same fascist goals are at the heart of it all. So I say: call it fascism.

It can never be held accountable, therefore…

An AI can never be held accountable, therefore an AI must never always make a management decision.

That sounds… normal? and maybe even sensible, especially if LinkedIn does SSR, since that could allow the servers know how to tailor the content to the specific browser requesting a page.

Normally, I’d be reading about NPM security breaches and AI security breaches separately, but now I can get them in the same article! Truly amazing how technology has progressed.

Damn, they don’t even think the goonbot will sell? They really must be in a tough spot lmao

Finally, a use-case for AI—malware!

Sam Altman has cooked up a plan

Damn, off to a rough start already

Betteridge’s law my beloved

(It isn’t statistically true in practice, though 😔)

It’s a cool idea, but I don’t know if it’s $1B cool

It’s the same for me! I was starting to think I was the only one.

Damn, Motorola may really make a comeback with this!

Damn, a somewhat disenshittified Windows that still has support??

Looks like it’s the official server for Copilot, presumably for the community (e.g. support, etc) not internal communication, for what that’s worth

But you still can’t do that, you see, unless you’d like more visitors than usual.

Oh thank god

Cool! And with them, will go much of your current economy. Enjoy!

I’m sorry, but if you’re willing to give full access on your computer to a(n effectively) non-deterministic black box that is the cybersecurity equivalent of Swiss cheese, at this point in history, I’m afraid you deserve what’s coming your way. This lady should feel lucky that it only ran amok in her inbox.

“Security risks” is often an excuse, but it’s 100% on the money with this. AI is a security nightmare.
