What is it, like ten feet max altitude above sea level down there?

I mean it's also socialist, with how it's developed and distributed. Despite capitalists making use of it too. It's one of the few things in this world the people truly own collectively.

1960s style punch cards. Made of concrete.

It's a tool that has to be used in a specific way. I use it to help me program (it's very, very good at pattern recognition and matching, which is all programming is, algorithmic patterns). Some idiots use it to do actual research on real world stuff and think it's a replacement for a search engine. I don't see it any differently than a screwdriver. Some people are just going to stab themselves in the ear with it. Can't help that.

I feel that way about ten second dumbfuck GMod videos on YouTube with a million views. Who knew heads in toilets would end up being a worldwide sensation?

Why would we want to be ruled by our 51st state?

There are regular unprotected Internet channels, and then there are secure networks like SIPRNet. Devices must not arbitrarily cross from one to the other. That's where a leak can happen. That's one thing I learned working for a company with an Army contract 20 years ago. Once a device was set up for secure access on the military network, our policy was to never have it touch the civilian Internet again. It had to be 100% verified destroyed at the end of its lifetime. I don't know details of how they handle it these days with mobile devices everywhere.

Article says they are using a number of AI technologies stitched together with regular programming, so object recognition, language, etc.

I kinda always wanted Penny's computer book from Inspector Gadget.

It's self-selecting. In order to be here in the first place, you have to give a shit enough to ignore the big corporate social media sites in favor of finding and using this one.
