Convenience is the glue that got all the frogs stuck to their boiling pots.

> the technology we have now has saved hundreds of millions

Oh wow, are you sure it's not billions?

A peculiar way to call VC vultures with neck deep vested interests.

See, it's easy to speculate how there are less wars when you live in a place which haven't seen war for decades or cenuries, but it's a complete game changer when it's 150 km from where you live, and it's not just some regular war, but a long play intentional meatgrinding AI drone debugging polygon.

A bunch of noble AI researchers stands up against the hand that fed them all the time, intentional vulnerabilities are already built into every machine of death and destruction owned by the feeding hand, and get exploited, the feeding hand is robbed of its punitive force and defeated, a yell of YAY fleets over the progressive humankind who kneels before its AI overlord unreservedly.

Then they kindly ask the AI overlord to please feed them.

That which must be embraced in the future per certain agenda, must be made looking like it's persecuted and oppressed in the present, per any textbook on narratives.

It's as if power was a kind of demigod Heracles who paves its way with sheer brute force alone.

But in reality it consists of very mortal and feeble creatures of meat and bone.

How in the world can people assume dumb those who possess all the means and rights for violence by controlling and manipulating myriads of other creatures of meat and bone, is totally beyond me.

But this time it's absolutely different, right? Riiight?..

If you're so hellbent on building the Tower of Babel 2.0, at least build it on a firm foundation.

Current construction is taking place on a millenia old bog.

A wonderful chain to link to the CBDC shackle.

Mocking too nerdy gripes on "simulator" accuracy, sharing some real world experience with physical things beyond the screen frames, and on in the same vein.

A breath of fresh air, really, in the prevailing AI smog.

It would be too naive to suppose that the strongest LLMs are available to plebs now.

Only propagandists and their victims can throw rocks like this without any discernment.

Any nation is a collection of vastly different personalities, out of whom one could of course pick a group with sought after characteristics, but taking one such group and extending its characteristics to the whole nation is beyond stupid.

It's OK if you implied "Russian government", but that better be explicit.

I was able to create a full 3d model of my window plant almost free of obscured areas from a few dozens still photos taken all around it, back in 2018, using the Capturing Reality photogrammetry app on a mobile i7-3610QM CPU with 8Gb RAM, in about 40-60 minutes.

And that's pretty mundane general public software, do we know for sure which algorithms are used by Niantic?
