drones are dirt simple and dirt cheap to build for anyone with any sort of malicious or mischievous intent. What component can you ban that isn't incredibly onerous and overbroad?

Drones that comply with gummint regulation aren't gonna be simple or cheap to build. All others will simply be illegal and the penalties will be extremely steep. We put people in jail for smoking weed.

a good summary of the internet in 2018

quote:

Everywhere I went online this year, I was asked to prove I’m a human. Can you retype this distorted word? Can you transcribe this house number? Can you select the images that contain a motorcycle? I found myself prostrate daily at the feet of robot bouncers, frantically showing off my highly developed pattern-matching skills — does a Vespa count as a motorcycle, even? — so I could get into nightclubs I’m not even sure I want to enter. Once inside, I was directed by dopamine-feedback loops to scroll well past any healthy point, manipulated by emotionally charged headlines and posts to click on things I didn’t care about, and harried and hectored and sweet-talked into arguments and purchases and relationships so algorithmically determined it was hard to describe them as real.

good piece, but it leaves out the inevitable end result

it highlights that this ecosystem is fueled by seemingly endless piles of real money being fed into this infinite shell game of fake everything, but what happens when the money stops coming?

my plan for the future is to steal carboard standups of actors from movie theatres and use them to corner robots programmed to yield to humans.

And not only do we have bots masquerading as humans and humans masquerading as other humans, but also sometimes humans masquerading as bots, pretending to be “artificial-intelligence personal assistants,” like Facebook’s “M,” in order to help tech companies appear to possess cutting-edge AI.

quote:

As against this, the commodity-form, and the value-relation of the products of labour within which it appears, have absolutely no connection with the physical nature of the commodity and the material relations arising out of this. It is nothing but the definite social relation between men themselves which assumes here, for them, the fantastic form of a relation between things. In order, therefore, to find an analogy we must take flight into the misty realm of religion. There the products of the human brain appear as autonomous figures endowed with a life of their own, which enter into relations both with each other and with the human race. So it is in the world of commodities with the products of men's hands. I call this the fetishism which attaches itself to the products of labour as soon as they are produced as commodities, and is therefore inseparable from the production of commodities.

I'm sure there's a dozen better Marx quotes about this.

For a period of time in 2013, the Times reported this year, a full half of YouTube traffic was “bots masquerading as people,” a portion so high that employees feared an inflection point after which YouTube’s systems for detecting fraudulent traffic would begin to regard bot traffic as real and human traffic as fake. They called this hypothetical event “the Inversion.”

Report: Nationwide CenturyLink Outage Affecting 911 Emergency Services
...
The sheriff's office says, for St. Louis County, land lines are being affected "sporadically." They say all major cell phone companies appear to be working as they should.

Authorities recommend to use a cell phone for those who need to call 911. If a cell phone is not available, use another type of phone to call 218-625-3581.

Lets just link our critical safety infrastructure to our least proven communication technology.... and you're dead.
