@arstechnica here is my prediction: the corps will at some point, simply generate "actors".
Ala "Simone".

Next(before?), scripts will be 100% generated.

All productions will be absolute shit, but the general public won't care.

The only worthwhile movies will be low budget indy productions, that almost nobody will watch.

🤷‍♂️ #TheFutureIsStupid

Ah yes cloud.. at least it allows you to blame somebody else when things go tits up.

Which is all corps really want,when you get right down to it .

say it with me:
corporations are not your friends.
corporations can not be trusted.
corporations will ALWAYS go against your interests.

Remember how we laughed at the joke about the country about the repossessed self driving truck leaving his owner?

Ja, Ford ain't laughing.
They're planning.

So now "MFA Fatigue attacks" are a thing (bad guy just spams your login until you accidentally, or out of spite) just click "allow" on your MFA device.

So what are the solutions?
- drop the convenience and just make everybody enter a code generated by an app?
- rate limit logins?
- allow the user to temporary mute / block notifications?
- something other sensible?
- or make everything worse?

No thank you.

Marines used various stupid tricks to fool AI into not detecting them - like covering themselves with a cardboard box. It worked.

Oh my soul... Vodacom online support is pathetic.

To make it worse, they try HARD to push you into the idiot arms of TOBI the mentally challanged support Bot.

Online chat: TOBI.
IVR: TOBI.

And the thing is absolutely useless.

@gshill Maybe the robot uprising that all the sci-fi books & movies predict will actually just be autonomous vehicles malfunctioning on highways/railroad tracks, causing society to collapse as our transportation system grinds to an absolute halt and we're forced into a MadMax future but with bikes. 🤷‍♂️

My new floor lamp has an app, which requires me to register with my email address, and requires a firmware update before use. Can't wait 'til I can't turn on the lights because us-east-1 is having trouble. #TheFutureIsStupid
