<p>Most criminals have a specific type of cleverness, but not intelligence. 
If they were smart people, they wouldn't do the crimes in the first place.<p>I dealt with a low-tech breach at one of the hospitals I worked for. 
The criminal worked in HIM, and used paper and pencil to note specific info about specific types of patients. Since they worked in HIM, it was expected for them to view many medical records in a day and no app detects paper/pencil, so quite clever so far.<p>Ultimately, they used this info to file false tax returns to steal the refunds.<p>The problem?  They filed 881 false tax returns annnnnnd used the same address for all of them. DOH.<p>They were busted/arrested and off to jail they went.<p>Clever, right until the end, then abysmally stupid.</p>

<p>I believe this is an Pollyanna take on AI. There is nothing about humans that tells us humans will bring AI to fruition for the other humans and a mountain of evidence showing how it will be used to abuse humans instead....for profits/power/whatever horse shit the masters of the universe have decided upon.</p>

<p>What youre likely seeing is the inevitable endpoint for corporate growth.<p>Money over all. Safety should never impact profits, quality control is a cost not a benefit, poor design due to rushing something out the door, and lowest bidder for everything.</p>

<p>>Why can't OpenAI keep projecting/promising massive data centre growth year after year, fail to deliver, and keep making Number Go Up?<p>Because eventually, Nvidia will run out of money, so the incestuous loop between Nvidia funding AI entities, who then use those funds to buy Nvidia chips, artificially propping up Nvidia's stock price,  will eventually end and poof.<p>Competing forces are the market's insatiable need for growth every quarter, and other countries also chasing AIs and will not slow down if other countries, like the US, do slow down.</p>

<p>However, it's a very abbreviated way of stating, "soon you will not even be given this choice, because we make entirely too much money selling your data/info and we kinda bribe law enforcement by granting them any and all video, with a simple request"</p>

<p>Agreed. Ring has a proven track record of giving up whatever video law enforcement wants, regardless of your choice or privacy laws.<p>If it was free, I could almost understand. Nothing is free, and if it cost the customer nothing, then the customer is the product. However, people paid for Ring gear and as a thanks have their privacy violated with no notice, no info and no choice.</p>

<p>A. This leaves a semi-permanent hazard in orbit for all other satellites. 
(Semi, because it can be cleaned up, but it's difficult, expensive and no laws require the idiots that do this to clean it up)<p>B. The Russians already have this tech and have "practiced" with it a few times, so have already added untold hazards in orbit.<p>C. The people that cause these problems, ignore the hazards left behind and let others simply die.<p>This is a horrific idea and not new. Let's not do more of it.</p>

<p>>Sometimes I wonder if interest influences not just my motivation, but my capacity for learning and talent.<p>It does. Anything you have an interest in, you will spend more time thinking about in general, be more focused while learning the relevant bits, and will breed a willingness to learn something related, but not specific to what you need.<p>I'm senior technical in my dept and have had a lifelong interest in tech, how it works, why it works, etc. and in my case, my interest definitely influenced my ability to handle work, broad skillset, practical application and more.<p>YMMV, but imo, your statement is true.<p>GL!</p>
