Is it not a given you don’t want the whales killed or do you have to call them out specifically?

Except there are three relevant people and they all contradict themselves daily.

For sure. The day I can’t own my video card is the day I’m done gaming. I had a lot of good years and a great run. I’m fully uninterested in supporting any industry that removes your ability to own your own hardware or software and even less interested in supporting one that is doing it to appease the ai overlords.

Yeah this doesn’t seem like racism.

Yeah this is their goal. Subscription everything. Also they don’t want gpus in your hands and we will see them more regulated than assault weapons - or some sort of gentleman’s agreement where they are generally unavailable to the public. Writing is on the wall because if you can run quality ai locally the powers that be suddenly lose a trillion or two overnight.

“They”????

They don’t ask lol they just stick it in page 27 of the document you are forced to sign or else you can’t work or have a social life.

Your cell carrier might surveil your sms tbh and your phone calls totally could be as well. If something isn’t end to end encrypted it’s probably a good idea to assume it is surveilled.

FWIW I had to pay the ransom once and it worked fine they gave the password over and even bargained the price down and also fucked up because crypto fees so didn’t have the ability to send the actual full amount and they were chill.

Minus the whole being held for ransom they were probably more consumer friendly than the average large corporation.

Except everyone thinks this applies to them. Baking gay wedding cakes is a good example because is forcing religious people to do it not tolerating their intolerance or is it being intolerant of their religion.

Slavery took about 100 years of gradual policy reform and a civil war to change.

Dinosaurs were 100 million years ago etc etc. 36 years is not even a blip in time.
