I’ve got a feeling this is specifically related to DRM in the HDMI spec that prevents video capture of encrypted content. Maybe I’m remembering something vaguely from about a decade ago about HDMI content encryption that is no longer relevant, but my hazy memory is that this was a core element of the HDMI spec that media corps wanted to prevent digital copying. Not that it really means anything at this point, the seas are full of high quality rips regardless, but maybe there is some dubious legal value in preventing an open source driver?

“copy image” uses less than 0.01% of the resources used when generating an AI image

The “stealing art” thing is more about AI providing no way to trace back to the original works that were used to train it. It is completely opaque. With art that is copied for a meme, that is not really the case as it is not obfuscated in the same way. Often the art is easily recognized or can be located via a reverse image search.

AI as a tool can be useful, but so far most iterations are entirely in service to capitalist speculation. Burning through resources to generate aesthetic goo to hype up speculation deserves all the scorn that can be heaped upon it.

The fact that there is not a choice to just end the 1% makes this very

I heard once that old amoke detectors have some radioactive isotopes in them. Not sure how true or dangerous but sounds bad.

Time + gravity + chemistry + physics = hot stirring clumpy rock stew

As the stew goes from hot to warm over millions of years things settle into some interesting patterns. The highest concentrations of known gold geological formations happen to be on the oldest pieces of the earth’s crust btw.

The USA has by far the largest prison population in absolute terms and per capita. You have no idea what you are saying.

The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

This was said by the National Security Advisor of the USA, the only country in the world that used nuclear weapons … on civilian cities … twice … for no militarily objective reason.

Watching that shit unfold really got me into politics. Being disillusioned with Obama’s 8 years got me into real political economic theory though.

mostly just folks very resistant to learn some quite simple things due to their overly propagandized worldview

I’m talking about people that have trouble with basic understandings of political economy like:

leftism : anti-capitalist :: liberal : anti-communist

I can only imagine the shock they are experiencing

we’re mostly pretty chill if people can be chill with each other, unfortunately some folks are just uncomfortable with understanding the complexity of the world I guess
