Some devices will search out for WiFi networks on their own and connect to anything unsecured. Could be a neighbor, coffee shop, passing vehicle hotspot, etc

The problem is being actively fixed. Better than leaving legacy law on the books

@grok summarize this

Cast a wide net mentality

Can’t think of many countries which do not participate in the global economy. You don’t need to use the dollar or trade with the US to be affected by a financial crisis outside of your borders.

5th amendment covers testimonial evidence. This would be more of a 4th amendment thing, though because a judge would order it due to prior convictions, you’d probably have an uphill battle. A state can revoke a person’s license. Allowing them continued access with stipulations seems like a compromise that some would accept.

I can maybe see a garage, but ruining your paint? Where do you get this paint, how much does it cost, do you “do it right” by properly prepping and masking, how do you maintain this finish, and do you truly not care about resale value?

I’m sure somebody has done this somewhere, but I can’t imagine it looks better than matte-black rattlecanned shitbox. Nobody really wants to be driving around in that.

Think like a manager:

• Offer employees an AI token budget that’s use or lose. Don’t make any promises on reimbursement and stay vague about how high users can obtain more tokens. You don’t want wasted token usage. More on that later
• Increase workloads/KPI/widget production quota by how much change you can find around some vending machines. Sneak in monitoring of employee user behavior and interactions with systems and programs if you don’t already have something in place
• Link AI assistance to the higher requirements by saying things like “We’re investing in our workforce by providing productivity tools”
• Fire those at/below new requirements while praising those who are left behind
• Throw a pizza party and pocket some of the savings from firing a third of your team. Invest in a mini fridge for the top performer.
• Train new AI on the user behavior analytics you’ve been secretly been collecting and use it to replace the next lower performing third of the team. Keep on the higher performers and give them a small raise so they speak positively about the company and so you have somebody to fix the inevitable problems
• Profit

If there’s some collusion, sure, but you’d have to find a government body with the will and teeth to prosecute.

Nothing really against charging whatever you feel like outside of things like certain supplies during disasters. It’s shitty

I can’t wait until we unlock custom AI training micro transactions where you can influence what a ChatGPT or Copilot user sees for the low low fee of $15 per KB of supplied data plus $.01 per token referenced.

You can’t collect per diem or get credit card points from a virtual conference though. Think of their bank accounts!

I miss ppb. It was like a modern day rickroll but not in any way unexpected from hexbear
