I disagree. My opinion is that the technology did change. It just became more efficient at doing its job (killing people, surveillance, and mass propaganda).

The internet was supposed to be a gateway of information, but now it’s the largest propaganda network. Free speech is censored by closed source algorithms and the entire internet infrastructure is controlled and owned by the 1%.

We are more isolated compared to before, class solidarity is almost nonexistent, and its easier to identify people now vs before due to being interconnected real time.

I can go more on and on but the tldr is that technology has made it easier and faster to crush dissent

It’s an uphill battle, but it’s better to start early than late.

Unlike before, the rich now have private armies, lobbying groups, and mass surveillance networks while we peasants own nothing. Plus, the pot is slowly boiled.

What visualisation app is this?

I would say frontend is harder than backend (if not more tedious). State management is a PITA, you have to learn X frameworks that do the same thing, and git gud with CSS.

Following this thread!

Stupid question, but are you somehow publicly exposing your vhost config (or a bak file of it)? Or do you see logs of someone bruteforcing the subdomain?

You mean fascists in the 3 comma club with their own private militaries and goons in government, chilling inside their doomsday bunkers?

At the moment, AI is just a glorified autocomplete and I think it does more harm than good. (For LLMs). Is it a useful tool? Definitely. Should it replace jobs? Hell no. Is it being used as an excuse for the current recession and layoffs caused by offshoring? Hell yes. Is it killing the internet and propagating fake news? Definitely

If we’re talking about other applications (computer vision, image processing etc), then yes. I think think the surveillance states (face verification) and Ukraine-Russia war heavily uses these applications
