  • I hear ya.

    It pisses me off the way they market this shit as AI; just a god damn surveillance tool, hiding behind a fucking chat bot.

    And, anybody reading who’s tempted to defend the technology, fuck off - it’s a prediction algorithm. A fancy one, but that’s it. There no steps or logic or reasoning. There’s nothing hiding in the “black box”. No steps taken to construct the response - just statistical analysis on steroids spewing out most likely matches.




  • I can’t think of any situation where disallowing people from repairing their own property makes any sense.

    I can think of one, but the issue is largely a thing of the past: old CRT TV’s or monitors. If you attempt to repair one without knowing what you’re doing, you literally could get yourself killed.

    That said, I still agree with you wholeheartedly. I’d much rather mandate dangerous to repair products be labeled as such, but the design and construction of consumer products should never prohibit the end user from being able to repair their own property.
