    Sci-fi warned about hackable smart homes since "Demon Seed".

    Recently Sony announced a new camera they're releasing in October which, according to the release, is the first camcorder that will embed digital signatures directly into video files to enable content authentication so that you know that the video is real.

    That said, this camcorder (like the other most recent Sony camcorder) does use AI in other ways, like vastly improved autofocus performance and video noise reduction.

    The book came first, but poor Dean Koontz never gets the credit.

    There's a real luddite vibe in this thread. Is anyone here optimistic about so-called AI other than me?

    In the hands of our current crop of Malthusian-Fascist tech-bros?
    Nope.
    It's not the tech itself, but who's wielding it.
    I haven't been impressed by any of their sick ideas.

    Y'know who'd love this shit if he were alive?
    Jeriko.
    Jeriko had creepy rubber sex doll taste in women.
    It sticks in my memory because I blurted it out once, and he threw a spoiled brat in a toy store level fit at me.
    Ah, good times.

    It's improving. What bothers me are people that think it's evil. It's unthinking. It's a mirror at worst or best and can distort reality for an undiscerning user. But that's true of all human creations.

    I use it but I look at the sources. I wish people posting shit memes would.

    New rule. You have to read the article and think about it before copy paste.
