  • I’m not talking about an isolated individual Rambo, I’m talking about well coordinated, disciplined guerrilla warfare.

    Unless you’re a military, you’re not fighting a hypothetical scenario where robots are being used to attack civilians, no matter what kind of power fantasy you hallucinate before sleeping.

    I’m not saying the tech isn’t effective, I’m saying it’s vulnerable,

    Vulnerable from other tech, not you and your friends, or me and my friends, or we all combined.

    Just the way you seem to think about these things is very silly

    It’s called accepting the truth that technology has far surpassed our ability to fight back against it, and the normalcy we live in is vulnerable from the moment this technology exists.

    There are already diy heat shields that can be made for a few dollars and have been proven against microwave emitters. You act like ppl aren’t already fighting drones and high tech weapons.

    Sure, go ahead walking around with reflective tinfoil in this scenario. The robot’s microwave gun will hate it… the automatic turret that uses a regular RGB camera will love how easy it is to track you instead.

    Absolutely nothing a human can do will defend you from weaponized robots with existing technology let alone any future improvements.

    Have you seen the crowd dispersal microwave guns? They point at you from meters away, you’re now getting so hot if you don’t move you’ll get burns. All they need to change them from “crowd dispersal” to “kill you” is a few extra watts or a narrower beam.

    Slap one of these bad boys on top of any bad robot that can move towards targets and you’re good.


  • What kind of HDD? for what purpose? For what budget?

    “Don’t buy used” is a dumb tip because it means nothing and addresses nothing.

    I use a WD Enterprise HDD from 2012. I bought it used. It passes all tests with flying colours, zero issues so far… it keeps a mirror of my backup. It’s not my main backup, it’s a copy of a copy. Guess what? I paid an extremely low price for it as a student on a budget, yet it was already proven useful many times both for the backups but also to keep my torrents seeding for longer, and it if does indeed fail… no biggie, not even my backup is compromised.

    There are excellent refurbished HDDs too. Either way, “don’t buy used” is the kind of blanket statement somebody cosplaying as a infosec home lab data specialist comments on Lemmy, but means absolutely nothing and offers no useful advice.











  • Can the model itself be trained to recognize mathematical input and invoke an external app, parse the result and feed that back into the reply? No.

    Can you create a multi-layered system that uses some trickery to achieve this effect most of the time? Yes, that’s what OpenAI and Google are already doing by recognizing certain features of the users’ inputs and changing the system prompts to force the model to output Python code or Markdown notation that your browser then renders using a different tool.

    Why isn’t OpenAi working more modular whereby the LLM will call up specialized algorithms once it has identified the nature of the question?

    Precisely because this is a LLM. It doesn’t know the difference between writing out a maths problem, a recipe for cake or a haiku. It transforms everything into the same domain and is doing fancy statistics to come up with a reply. It wouldn’t know that it needs to invoke the “Calculator” feature unless you hard code that in, which is what ChatGPT and Gemini do, but it’s also easy to break.
