I don't think AI codecs will be anything revolutionary. There are plenty of lossless codecs already, but if you want more detail, you'll need a better physical sensor, and I doubt there's anything that can be done to go around that (that actually represents what exists, not an hallucination).

Given how things are moving, probably on St Never's day.

Now lets watch this technology become prohibitively expensive unless you plunge into a millionaire debt.

Last pandemic in Europe where bodies piled on the streets wiped out a third of the population. We would have had Black Plague v2.0

The GPU market being wrecked by motherfuckers that wanted to build crypto farms, the cryptocurrency scams, the NFTs, etc.

And the greatest problem of all with crypto is that it is a solution for a non-existing problem. The web worked fine without it and it proved to be way more stable than crypto ever could.

Ask it to spell Nietzsche.

If I knew how to mod, I would replace all pronouns with adverbs just for the memes. And if that still pissed people off, time for the big guns: verbs.

Which were mostly the product of European minds.

Time to shoot down the other two.

Let the New Age bloom on this new, promising land!

"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux."

​

The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

​

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

It is a command that does three things:

1. It starts to delete everything you have on the disk. That's the sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root / part.
2. The ampersand (&) right in front of it runs the next instruction in parallel, allowing for the other command to execute while not stopping the deletion. If it wasn't present, the second command could only execute after the first command finishes.
3. The third part, :(){ :|:& };: is what's called a Fork Bomb. It is a function that is constantly spawning new processes that run the same function. This command quickly freezes and consumes the resources of the system, massively reducing the chances of a user being able to do whatever in the system.

Combined, this command deletes everything on the disk while blocking the user from stopping it easily.
Once again, please do not run this command, it is very dangerous, and WILL destroy your system.

I've seen some pretty fucked up teams in IT. If she burned the wrong bridges, she can be all kinds of fucked.
