It's obvious how to benefit, but it's a convenience I don't think is worth the cost. Hermes and OpenClaw are janky as hell, and handing Dario, Zuck, Musk, or Sama access to everything I do in life is a bridge too far.
"I have nothing to hide" is a poor reason to abdicate one's right to privacy. Especially considering how arbitrary and capricious Anthropic is about enforcing Dario's model of ethics and morality.

Well, I guess this is the point I start getting left behind.

I'm so saddened by this news, I still watch TNG regularly. Separately, I'm also kind of blown away that Captain Kirk outlived Captain Picard.

This response is rich in vibes, low in fact, but my guess is OP is generally referring to things like the FBI's storming of Branch Davidian compound in Waco, the infiltration and surveillance of organizations, basically right and far right, in response to the OKC bombing, in the name of preventing domestic terrorism.
Go farther back and we have Hoover building kompromat on basically everyone, farther still you get McCarthy anti-Left. I don't think there's an era without any kind of corruption or abuse of power. It's romantic to think there was ever restraint, and like believing so seems to depend on starting the clock at an aribitrary historical point.

The Two Santas strategy <https://www.milwaukeeindependent.com/thom-hartmann/two-santa...> is the American implementation of the famous Alexander Fraser Tytler quote: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

when i got to the second hashtag, i scanned the following paragraphs, saw it's littered with them, and just hit the back button.
#'s are for signaling root access, and bash comments.
edit: and also IRC channels.

spoiling the leaders' profit margins

"Too big to be accountable" sure seems like modus operandi. Fear for my personal liability for any illegal actions taken by an AI system I set off stopped my research on autonomous exploitability discovery I was running at the end of 2023. Using AutoGen, I wired a planner, coder, and command runner into a loop and instructed them to find vulnerable equipment on my network and demonstrate the exploit.
It found a vulnerable camera and was working on popping it when I got cold feet. I realized I couldn't prevent or feasibly monitor its activity and stop it if it decided to escape onto the Internet.
That restraint may have cost me or saved me a billion dollars.

the site threw up a modal, blocked me from scrolling, then locked the browser, so I couldn't read everything, but from what I could see the gist is people are still over-ordering therefore the boom is going strong.

quick, let's find the author's shirtless beer drinking pictures before they get deleted
I was thinking this morning about how shitty everything is about to become once "pretend[ing] to be me on the phone" is commoditized and widely adopted. good luck talking to people.
