Calling a person an NPC is a good way to throw away your credibility and sound like an incel.

it's still a story about a young, unappreciated nerd who one day discovers he is rich beyond his wildest dreams, a superior being to the humans who previously trod upon him, and instantly recognized by his peers as a wizard of legendary power. whisked away to a private school for gifted children, he does whatever he pleases as adults consistently turn a blind eye, and everyone who takes a disliking to him either comes around quickly enough or is unmasked as a villain suitable for unceremonious murder. the wizarding world is governed by utterly impotent, classist plutocrats who have spent over a decade cowering in fear at a wizard who was unable to murder an infant

there's a reazon yudkowsky found the premise so enchanting he felt compelled to write fanfiction about what he would do in this situation

so your objection to it is that it's childish wish fulfilment? well it's written for an audience of 12-year-olds

which is a better reason to look for something else to read than anything you said

i am serious. a box which is just running nginx and serving funy pages has not "already been hacked and is already serving malware" just because you only occasionally update it rather than actively following security bulletins.

your completely ignoring the vector that HTTPS addresses: MitM

Sure, I was merely thinking out loud (bad move it seems from the children comments) how to solve the "need billions, got maybe millions" issue, and since I can't get stable diffusion out of my mind, as everyone recently, I just saw it as a possible light at the end of the tunnel: why not let the machine implement the specification.
I am all for going back at the roots, but at the root of all the roots is the enduser: the machine must do something useful, otherwise it's a niche postmodernist art contraption (not that there's anything wrong with that).

China could do the same thing if they wanted. That isn't a good excuse to violate national airspace. Maybe they want to intercept cell phone data.

And try to compete with Starship??

Judging from Alibaba, airships are more Chinese specialty.

still have nightmares about getting a few hundred dollars out of an ATM, saying "pick denominations for me!" and hearing it count it all out in 10's

is this a joke or did it actually say out loud how much you withdrew? that’d be horrifying
