After a decade of national politics, and many decades of his "business", too many people still take "Trump says" as anything more than a piece of a con.

The implication that the "global right" has ever had any respect for the rule of law is incorrect.

>you're _paying_ to install a backdoor that will rip and tear everything on your network it can*

How is this different from buying hardware and software from big market players?



they just steal different things

Brand damage; The big players have more to loose from being caught installing backdoors on devices sold to the general public, and will probably put in something in the T&Cs to deflect their responsibilities.

*Samsung Core Features has the chat.*

>No, they likely won't. AI has become far too big to fail at this point.

Things that cannot happen will not happen. "AI" (aka LLMs dressed up as AGI by giga-scalr scammers) is never going to work as hyped. What I expect to see in the collision is an attempt to leverage corporate fear and greed into wealth-extractive social control. Hopefully it burns to the ground.


The reeks of someone new being in charge (at whatever level approves this list), and feeling compelled to "prove" themselves via a show of power - in this case, adding items to a prohibited list. As such behaviors go, this one is petty.

Adafruit's point on the banning of specific devices stands out as being particularly foolish. I doubt security would react well to any obvious cyberpunk cyberdeck build, regardless of the hardware inside.


accelerate - "To cause to move faster; to quicken the motion of; to add to the speed of." I.e. The airplane will accelerate as it plunges toward the ground.


the scientific definition is merely the change in velocity. slamming your breaks would also count as accelerating from a physics perspective.


This is not what the article says, so in this context is misleading.


Accelerate into a wall.


>We need a concentration of money in order to make progress.

...in the concentration of money.

"The handful of benevolent god-kings will be nice to people" is not a model for a decent future.


You mean we need a stronger government?


The creators/thought leader of Capitalism all said it was a necessary part of having a functioning Capitalist system. So yes? Unless you want to change systems to something else?


I mean that America would be better off with a government that discourages god-kings instead of enabling them.


Sure, but how do you think that can be accomplished?

Wealth begets wealth in a positive feedback loop.

How do we typically deal with positive feedback?


You can suggest to tax wealth, but how are you going to get it implemented?

As JFK said, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."


Who cares what he said? He’s not even the top billing at the Kennedy center anymore /s


Everything is being lost. We're in the process of sacrificing our collective humanity for corporate profit.


>It seems like if these ever get challenged to the Supreme Court the current judges will rule with something like it being at the president's discretion.

Given that this is the same Supreme Court that ruled Biden (or Trump) could have them all shot[1], it seems near-certain that you're correct.
