Worth pointing out, this specific kind of attack targets a device based on its mac address and sends it shedloads of junk requests. There is no chance of it interfering with emergency wireless transmissions.
That said, i agree it's not OK to mess with other people's devices like this.
Do you have a means of securely and reliably getting it? Cause I don't.
You really come across as coming from a place of privilege whilst lamenting that the reason poor people are worried about this is because they're just not as nice as you.
Believe it or not I need to eat food. Crazy I know.
They've all already done that haha. You could argue that a human has only one life in which to remix that art but an AI is theoretically immortal, so it's a different category of customer.
At any rate, it's clear that AI should not have free access to copyrighted works, like news articles, academic papers, stock images, and various kinds of non deviantart art.
What do you mean by a distributed power grid? Do you mean power generation happening locally? This is already a thing and is growing in the form of Combined Heat and Power. This doesn't get rid of the need for base load, the overall grid will still need balancing and will still have a base load unless you plan to disconnect local grids from each other in which case welcome to Texas...
Money is not the point here (even though nuclear really doesn't cost much per kWh). I'm talking about the need to build a system that will produce more power over it's lifetime than it costs to make. This is still something that is surprisingly close in many cases so any extra bit of inefficiency risks making the overall system pointless.
Oh neat, how do those kettles that have a temperature selection thingy for different kinds of tea work then?
