The problem with telecommuting is that you're basically working 24hrs a day. At least physically hauling your meat bag out of the office sets a psychological end to the work day.

A friend of a friend has a dedicated room in his basement as his office. He locks it up after work ends and doesn't reopen it until he starts again the next day.

I apparently works really well to let him work from home without having to be "on" 24/7, but he can only pull this off because his job lets him do it and because he's bougie enough to afford a space that's literally just for work so YMMV.

Ghost in the Shell featured a Chinese anarchocommunist assassin who killed billionaires with rolls of coins fired from the shotgun built into her artificial arm.

Reality has a lot of catching up to do.

Ghost in the Shell featured a scene where they caught a suspect by tricking him into a detour by hacking his car to make a fake warning about construction ahead.

one of the first eps of the tv show ends with a dignitary of some sort having his read access permissions denied when he’s trying to read a barcode.

e:

quote:

Section 9 is called in to resolve a hostage crisis at a geisha house staffed by android geisha. After the crisis is taken care of, Aramaki is approached by Kubota, who reveals that the Japanese Foreign Minister was being actively investigated by military intelligence after expressing interest in the Ichinose Report, a document detailing diplomatic and military actions to be taken in the event of a national crisis. Given the sensitive nature of the case, Kubota asks that Section 9 take over the investigation where the original team left off. While reviewing the details of the hostage crisis at the geisha house, Togusa figures out that the Foreign Minister had his cyberbrain switched with that of an unknown intelligence agent working for the American Empire. Section 9 then successfully prevents the American intelligence agent, who is using the Foreign Minister's body, from leaving the country with the sensitive report in his possession.

lol I forgot that the opening episode leaned into the body swapping to get off aspect hard

if some rando idiot on the internet could do it in their living room, it's fair to assume that outfits with actual resources who make their money by faking poo poo have had access to it for a while

not that they need it. remember when O'Keefe managed to shut down a nationwide community organizing group with hundreds of thousands of members and an 8-digit budget, just by using some strategic cuts and misleading framing shots?

I am friends with a CS professor who genuinely, earnestly believes that widely-available technology for generating high quality fake videos is a social good, because it will lead to widespread disbelief in the validity of video evidence in general, which will lead to a dismantling of the surveillance state.

I'm not sure this counts as a failure of ethics, per se. But it's a failure of something.

they don’t. it’s the same dipshits who work on facial recognition software who will earnestly respond to “what are you doing?” with “making the world a better place”. zero introspection whatsoever.

you can see this on display with all of those leaked emails from Facebook C levels trying to get around android permissions to read people’s text messages. the people who did the permissions pop up did a cool trick, they made a cool code... please disregard that the explicit purpose is to siphon as much data off of your cellphone as humanly possible so that THE GRAPH can be .00003% better.

wfh/telecommuting owns if your company is built for it and sympathetic. i am blessed to be working for a super distributed company that doesn't care where the gently caress i am for 50 weeks out of the year. as long as i show up for the big annual conf they're fine with whatever.

despite that they have a very nice office downtown here that i can go into with a 20 minute train ride if i need to get the gently caress out of the house, and i do so 1-2 days a week.

i know this is a one percenter situation but as much as a lefty can love a company i really do have a bunch of appreciation for mine.

also i can knock the gently caress off at 5pm and nobody bats an eye. ever.

A LASER microphone would be easier and more reliable.

The (infrared) LASER can give your position away, but that’s only an issue if you up against intelligence services. The average pot smoker doesn’t have countermeasures.
