Maybe its because my professional life is all about ordering chaos that makes me not want to do it in my non-professional world. I want to solve problems and keep them solved.

ONI isnt too big brained ... its just never feels like you can achieve stability. Something is always breaking. Its a game where Entropy will always win.

I mean, honestly ... its not even about making people go broke. Its just about putting a price tag on anonymity.

Companies these days take for granted that people will just give away their information for free and thus abuse the F out of the privilege. Associating a cost would force them to act more responsibly.

hell, you could prob drop the sub to 10c a month per item and still be raking in millions of $$$ a month if you could enforce it.

We should turn this disease into a cure ... I am going to start charging a subscription for my personal information. You want my email address? 1$ a month. Phone number? 1$ a month. Purchase history? 1$ a mo per item.

@ThoriumBR prob will ... though I am not sure what the appeal is for playing skyrim on anything other than PC ... as modding it is pretty much the whole point of the game these days

Learning the ins and outs of AI now is akin to learning google foo 15 years ago
CaffeineAddiction

@ThoriumBR yah, I hear you ... but take the word "AI" and replace it with "Google" and go back 15 years ... how screwed are you?

cigarette companies got away w/ it for years (still do in some cases) ... and nicotine vapes are still very legal in most places.
CaffeineAddiction
Oct 2, 2024 14:17
I could see virtual nicotine being used as a form of persuasion ... as evil as that is

pain is effective ... but if drug addiction is any judge ... addicting people to dopamine hits w/ some type of mild pain on withdrawal might be the most effective.
CaffeineAddiction
Oct 2, 2024 14:15
I dont know ...
CaffeineAddiction
Oct 1, 2024 18:17
this is nothing ... wait till they start putting chips in peoples brain and tracking what gives them a dopamine hit when they look at an ad

CaffeineAddiction
Oct 1, 2024 18:13
and that being said ... maybe I am a boiled frog ... or maybe I am immune to the heat since I use ublock origin / no script in the browser, dont use facebook or twitter at all ... and overall have a very limited digital footprint

AI just allows them to fine tune the knobs
CaffeineAddiction

@RoryAlsop I mean ... I feel for the people ... but companies make bad decisions all the time to save money. I for one am ready for shake up. Some large companies need to die ... and new more nimble companies will come from the ashes.

security.stackexchange.com/questions/280450/… is sus ... imo "Exogator" & "AngelDrain" should be added to a blacklist somewhere (I edited them out of the question for now).
