This is the whole being poor keeps you poor thing.

You can’t afford $200-300 outright, but you can afford the monthly plan that costs $20 more but ends up costing $490 instead of $250 .

You can’t afford the $300 winter boots, so you buy the $100 ones that fall apart in 2 seasons instead of lasting a decade.

Ah that’s fair.

Do you need a higher resolution for a logo like that? How big will it ever be?

Could be done in rotoscope? Never enough of that.

You’d maybe want a video of them drawing it for real if you wanted to defend that they were in fact real but made to look like slop lol

My gaming video card can toss out a handful of these a minute, you don’t need to use a premium service.

A lower end card would just take longer but still work.

Yes, they’d become a thin client.

The concept isn’t new and happens in the corporate world connecting to the corporate servers to run the software, but he wants that to become the norm.

A chromebook is somewhere between the middle of a regular computer, and what Bezos wants.

I think that graphic is missing 2 extra lines.

You be the jury.

You be the executioner.

I know the grid in Texas is (was?) separated from the main national grid, and I guess, maybe something like this could eventually lead to a state wide grid that’s disconnected from the main grid, and maybe that’s very much the long term intention and a real problem.

It would take awhile to manifest as a big issue though as at least the blurb indicates it has to be for newly built power plants and new loads.

If a data center wants to build their own offgrid power system though I don’t see the harm in that? In the future they might very well be building SMR’s to power only their facility.

I think it should all still be overseen by whatever existing regulations there are and kept to the same standards though. And maybe some rules about connecting them to other purpose built ones under this same grouping?

Like, Apple builds one, and then Google builds one. Google and Apple can’t join together.

Maybe even limit it to some strict commercial type use, so Google can’t be doing this to power a google city where residents live.

Edits: Clarity and thoughts along those lines.

Edit: Oh and it should be mandated to be green energy.

The idea and motive and intention is great. The (edit: eventual) outcome is always evil.

I like to think if I was in a position to be working with data like that, that I could ‘accidentally’ forget to redact it one time and trigger a leak like this.

They publicly released that data at that point though through their own failures, fuck Flock for trying to suppress it.

I asked a question like 8 years ago, and people are still replying with new answers either due to new APIs or tooling, and for some reason just alternative ways that already existed for years.

Hopefully they’re just setting that up and in the meantime did this.

I would have bought it for that purpose if it was available.

I’m really loving this new Microslop name.

Also… looks like someone bought www.microslop.com and redirected to their own site: https://www.philipncohen.com/

That is hilarious. At that point if I was annoyed enough, I’d do something like hang a picture in the house taking a dig at Wikipedia and then the interview could mention that and now it could be in the article about the house taking a dig at them.

Clearly their adoption of rushing out AI generated code is working well.

I saw a post saying /r/period required an age check.

They’re gonna censor as much as they can with this.
