Back in my day, we didn't have artificial intelligence. We had actual ignorance. And we liked it that way.

TLDR: Any standard PC with two or more Ethernet interfaces and OpenBSD with PF.

I like the small Qotom Q305p 3205u computers for this, but any small device will do and if you don't care about the router being small and quiet, any form factor PC will work... just need two or more NICs to route packets from one network to the other.

I agree. AI lowers the bar. Anyone can be a cyber criminal now whether they understand what they are doing or not. I think that's the danger, and that's not just limited to cyber security. People can now get help to do things (good or bad) that they could not just a few years ago.

Most people are good, so I'm not really worried about all the hype of people using AI to do bad things.

Many problems with would healing are due to nutrient deficiencies. For example, people who are sulfur deficient will heal and recover much slower than those who are not.

That's why so many professional athletes take MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane). Their bodies would not be able to recover as quickly without the extra sulfur.

It always amuses me when I hear people complaining about the privacy issues with Flock cameras (on public roads) while wearing an Apple Watch or carrying an iPhone in their pocket everywhere they go.

The announcement only mentions DoH and not DoT... I guess both are going away?

They didn't pick the bad vendor, the herd did. They all go to the same conferences, attend the same vendor lunches and buy the same garbage. And today, most of the IT managers are not technical at all. They have art degrees and have never been technology practitioners.

Literally anyone off the street can be a "decision maker" in technology today. Just buy what everyone else is buying and collect a huge paycheck while working remote. People who understand tech and sort of know what they are doing, are not included.

That has been my experience.

Theo is probably autistic.

I work with a lot of great engineers with similar behavior. Their arguments are not personal, although they seem to be. They are just very passionate and care deeply about certain things (in this case operating systems security).

If you can get past the aggressive/offensive language they use and develop a relationship with them, they can be reasonable and helpful. That's been my experience.

Yes, I see your point. You could argue that humans, too, are trained to produce expected outputs (family, societal and peer pressure, etc.).

Because it is common sense.

This is software trained to produce outputs. It doesn't feel anything.

LLMs are trained to produce outputs that humans would find reasonable. That's it. They don't do anything else.

To say they have feelings and that they can think/reason is insane.

I read once that a CT scan is roughly equivalent to 1000 hours of flight WRT radiation exposure. I've had about 6 or 8 of those over the years.

Property damage is a crime.

I don't object to Flock cameras or any other public cameras. But if I did, I would write to my congress person rather than commit a crime and destroy someone's property.

I know it is not a popular opinion. But it is my opinion.

Do you seriously think that governments need Flock cameras when they have Apple, Microsoft and Google?

People cite Flock as an example of this. Yet the same people walk around with iPhones and Android devices that can record conversations (who talks to whom at what times and for how long), know our exact locations and log everything we do online.

If I had told you 30 years ago that we are going to build a surveillance network and make the people we are tracking pay for it all you would have laughed me out of the room. But that is what we have built. The modern Smart Phone.

Now we use our iPhones to complain about cameras on public roads as if they are watching us.
