  • ~~This is nuts, from a vid I saw it was an actual explosion. The fact that so many “terrorists” were given devices with explosives in them and it was undetected until they blew…

    I don’t care if it’s for the greater good, any entity that has the ability to pull this off should be dismantled and charged with crimes against humanity. This can’t be a thing humanity just accepts as a possibility. Yeah terrorism is bad but this is fucked if true.~~

    Edit: if this video isn’t completely made up it looks like those batteries can explode. I was under the impression they would shoot flames well before any explosion, might not be the case. Quite curious on the exploit though. What conductor do they have in there that wouldn’t burn out like a fuse before the explosion.

  • Isn’t that a problem with most forms of heat? Propane forced air furnace isn’t doing shit without electricity. Multizone boiler isn’t doing shit without power (I may be half wrong here). Outdoor wood burner isn’t doing shit without power. Your left with a wood/coal stove/fireplace, or wall propane burners scattered around. Wood furnace in the basement can get you by. But without electricity most forms of heat are screwed anyways aren’t they?


  • I agree fundamentally, but I think, especially with AI faking stuff, we need to get back to people just writing things off as shitty ripoffs and ignoring them. Take away the novelty of it and it’ll go away. Disney made this particular bed. Now they gotta lay in it.

    I for some reason have enough faith in humanity that once we how dumb this all plays out some realistic rules can be put in place.


  • I don’t mind a good example being made of this. The original creator(s) are long dead and gone. All the current copyright laws do are prevent innovation and protect money flow of large corporations in my opinion. Is was originally so individuals who came up with new great ideas could reap the rewards of that idea. No longer is that the case.

    “The Copyright Act of 1790 was the first statute in the United States to identify definite provisions of copyright law and permitted authors the right to their intellectual property for a duration of 14 years. Today, depending on the type of work, copyright terms can reach up to 120 years. Historically, Disney has been exceedingly protective of their intellectual property and is a prominent supporter and lobbyist for copyright term extension (Bernaski, 2014). Disney’s involvement in copyright term extension originates from their goal to prevent their copyrights from entering the public domain, specifically their Mickey Mouse character.”

    Source of that quote.

    I say make a good example of them. The creator should benifit from their creations, but ideas should not be stifled for generations to accomplish that.

    Disclaimer: I have not read my source, shame on me if it is counter to my opinion. But corporations are not people, I don’t care what the SC says.
