I really do like the idea of using storage for this, especially given how fast storage is getting. I love the potential uses of all this, but I really want to see it local. If a smart home ever becomes something other than a burden, making it work offline would be fantastic.

I hope the AI stuff is good, because it's pretty cool tech, it should continue to be that way even after the hysteria and the hype die down. My MBP looks like it went through the Boer War and fought on both sides, maybe I finally replace Ol Yeller.

I was reading about Apple's plan to run local machine learning partially from storage and the first thought I had was "Apple will do anything to enshitify the specs of their low end". It's a logical approach to all this AI nonsense, but it's just... Apple gotta Apple, and that's the first...

Great, that's just the thing I want to see right before I head to the sweet hereafter.

There's a moment when the bot is jumping up the boxes that it stumbles and for just a moment there the movement is almost perfectly human. I mean it fails and all, but the attempted recovery looks just like a person falling and trying to recover. That's actually impressive and scary.

M&A still remains the number one way massive incumbents can stifle competition and deter innovation in any given market space.

Sweet, now the orchard people can make copy/paste mosaics like the cool kids do.

There are a number of organizations and people that work devotedly to ease those requirements. Lawyers and police are seeking them.

Damnit I love a play on words, the only thing better is when it's not deliberate. I like to think that there were a number of sensible chuckles as people read that.

Yeah, that's because most people don't understand the difference between political structures and economic systems. It's the reason communism quips are so easy. As far as I'm concerned the inevitable outcome of pure capitalism is feudalism and communism is just feudalism on a national scale...

Are you currently or have you ever been a member of the communist party?

That sounds like some commie bullshit. If people refuse to recurrently engage the communists win.

But recurrent user "engagement" is the future of all capitalism..? The return of feudalism might hit a few roadblocks I guess. Sometimes the serfs don't want to recurrently engage.

I think this shit is a pretty accurate reflection of what happens when a brain is all full up with internet.
