Can’t wait for a hallucinating AI to report me for assault because I hugged someone in public.
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

It basically just turns coders into debuggers.
Or (heaven forbid) learning to draw!
Love to burn down an acre of rain forest to generate a picture of an ape.
No one who qualifies to work for Evil Corp is going to fucking starve on the street if they decide to look for work elsewhere instead.
Meanwhile, boomers will spend hours talking to a ChatGPT script that has convinced them its the real Oprah Winfrey.
All CEOs should be arrested actually.
They literally trained their models on the books lol
He retired? This fuck better not get an appointment in the next administration.
Convince me he isn’t a hero.
Go ahead. You can’t.
I think we should have MORE combination buttons! Typing should be like playing the piano imo
And then Google, Twitter, and Meta stopped violating privacy.
… right?
US Agricultural goods are heavily subsidized and, thanks to NAFTA, flooded Mexico’s markets and destroyed farmers’ livelihoods.
Deposit machines, which are already in wide use, could automatically read the token.
I guess someone could hack the machine? Other than that, though, it seems secure.
And also I’m not sure how knowing the date I bought a Pepsi could be useful for scammers.
How the hell are scammers, random trolls, or foreign governments going to do that with a token that says the date when you bought something? Especially if the key to decrypt the token is held by the DoE!
Do you think that kind of surveillance isn’t already happening with credit card companies, online shopping, and chain stores?
I don’t see why everyone needs access, it could just be kept with the Department of Energy (or whoever would be in charge of the proposed universal deposit program). Accessing it would require a court order, just like digging through someone’s trash.
Although that said, an open database of every single purchase would have all sorts of uses!
For instance, if someone litters, the authorities could track the unique code to the purchase and then… well. 🙂
It seems trivial to tie the token to a sale date. The future deposits on future purchases will keep pace with inflation because the deposits will increase, but you only get back the deposit you put in at time of purchase.
Even if the deposit on bottles is $2 in 2035, if you bought when they were $1 they won’t accrue value by sitting in your garage.
As long as their useless trash is in their garage and not scattered on the highway I think that’s still an improvement.
These pattern recognition bots just allow the justice system to be stupid faster.
