Sounds a lot like IBM.

Thank you! After reading that I'm surprised Microsoft didn't issue a statement to clarify, but I guess of all the rumours to run wild, it was fairly innocuous.

At least we've got AI to help with journalism now. /s

It came from the mouth of a Microsoft executive, and Microsoft followed up with a statement saying they were moving Windows 10 to a service model.

Exactly - comments are what you make of them. In high traffic communities they do indeed degrade into echo chambers as the poster above you suggested, but IMHO that attitude is throwing the baby out with the bath water. I find comments useful to gauge public opinion on current events, or have more nuanced discussion about special interests.

It's more an issue of communities than it is comments.

The only thing I miss is the comments, but I've got Lemmy for that.

Some people print their Bitcoin wallet recovery phrase onto a metal sheet, so they've got a fire and error proof way to recover the wallet. That would be easy to steal.

Reminds me of soldiers giving away secret base locations through Strava and dating apps.

I guess the point I was trying to make in my original post is - say we invent human robots tomorrow - what's better about them than actual humans, which we already have an unlimited supply of? It just seems like a god complex thing to me, not really solving any major problems for humanity.

I just don't understand who the market is supposed to be for humanoid robots. Manufacturing? They've already built bespoke task-centric robots. Consumers and businesses? They can already hire a real person without spending money upfront to "purchase" said person. I just don't see the use case. It feels like another metaverse or smart glasses. Just another desperate grab at investor money and trying to claim the next "big thing".

Thanks for the CrowdSec tip, I've already got an nginx reverse proxy set up but wasn't aware I could integrate this for extra protection.

This lines up with my completely unscientific observation that the people who have started relying heavily on AI are dumbasses.

Indeed, how did they fuck that up so badly? I feel like you have to be trying these days to embed a map and address picker and not have it support global addresses.
