- Comment on Why dont hackers just do white-cap hacking and figure out loopholes in valuable companies' stuff and use their fiduciary duty as a legal basis to compel patronage of their services? 1 week ago:
IIRC, there’s an investment group that does a version of this - they short the stock then release and publicize the information.

- Comment on How far away are we from someone using AI to create an animated TV show by themselves. 4 weeks ago:
Not all of this, you have some points in here (smart TVs are worth mentioning), but a lot of this is elsewhere, too, though. And was done before AI. A LOT of things are in public records, for instance. Yes AI and interconnectedness it makes it easier, but this is nothing knew. And the fact that they’re still this bad at targeted ads means there’s still hope.

I think I’ll have to do a modified version of that, Imposter Syndrome where half of you is in a suit and the other half is sweats and a t-shirt. “Hi my name is” “how others see you”/“how you see yourself”
