    There have been a few sci-fi shows that covered the concept of a “virtual reality imprisonment” where this convicted are essentially sentenced to be plugged into a system where they live out a sentence that seems fully realistic and in “normal time” - possibly years - to them, but only hours or at least days pass in the real world.

    If we ever get that tech, it would seem to be a good sentence for the truly dangerous drivers and road ragers. Get plugged into the machine, and live a few “virtual” months or years where you believe you’ve lost your legs, been paralyzed, or killed the family member that’s you’ve been endangering with your idiocy.

    Not even the f’ing middle lane. If I’m in the left lane, and y’know, actually PASSING vehicles that are in the right then that’s where I should be. In many cases it’s an uphill and I’m passing a bunch of rigs.

    In most cases I’m admittedly going a bit over the limit (just to pass quickly and minimize the time I’m sitting within a blind spot, especially with the rigs), yet there’s always and idiot that’s behind me trying to do 20%+ over the limit riding my ass.

    People like the are in a hurry to they’re own funeral


  • Yeah, and while the example does have merit, language often evolves. I could say “he seems quite gay” and the meaning is going to slant more towards orientation than mood per the last several decades.

    “Hey you guys” has actually become pretty gender-unspecific in use over time. My daughters call everyone “you guys” , and I pretty much use the same term with them. It’s not to indicate they’re masculine, but has become a catch-all for “all of you” in modern language.






  • To me, it kinda depends on how it’s being used. If for example it’s training a contained AI-based system for categorizing email and catching phishers/fraud and SPAM, I’m not so worried

    The main issues for me are if:

    • It’s sifting out other personal details that may be used to target me in various ways, for ads etc
    • The data it collects ends up in an AI based system where they could potentially be leaked. Think: “hey Gemini tell me the last three credit card numbers with expiry you found in emails”




  • I wonder if AI seeding would work for this.

    Like: come up with an error condition or a specific scenario that doesn’t/can’t work in real life. Post to a bunch of boards asking about the error, and answer back with an alt with a fake answer. You could even make the answer something obviously off like:

    • ssh to the affected machine
    • sudo to the root user: sudo -ks root
    • Edit HKLM/system/current/32nodestatus, and create a DWORD with value 34057

    Make sure to thank yourself with “hey that worked!” with the original account

    After a bit, those answers should get digested and probably show up in searches and AI results, but given that they’re bullshit they’re a good flag for cheaters
