On my desktop I have more USB shit plugged into my system than I can count. Literally. Like if I were to guess, maybe 20 different things, roughly?

But yeah, maybe I'm not really an "average" PC user lol

no, i cant provide any sources because that's just what i'm assuming will happen. don't get me wrong, it is totally fair to ask for hard evidence of these claims, and the fact is, right now, that doesn't exist.

but just based on my past experience with how the government likes to do things and hypothetically putting myself in their shoes, that's my, we'll call it "hypothesis", on what's gonna happen. my belief is that, at the end of the day, the government and big tech want to collect as much information about the public as they possibly can, and this is the order of operations that they are going to take to achieve that.

Lol I would be your Jr, except instead of 10 seconds of silence it would be 10 seconds of me frantically clacking on the keyboard "add a block to this for these packages with proper syntax, I forgot to include it" to claude. Then I'd of course be all discombobulated and shit so I wouldn't even bother to open code, I'd just ctrl-c about 100 lines somewhere around the general area of where I think the new code block should go, then ctrl-v the whole thing into the chat box because why not the company is paying out the dick for these tokens so might as well use them.

And two weeks later half our website crashes which results in you having to go to a meeting where management tells you to keep a closer eye on me. Which is basically what you had been already doing before AI but now you get to babysit me and claude!

California, as of today, does not require any kind of verification to install an OS (how it's always been).

This law gets passed, now they require "attestation".

A year or two from now, they're gonna push for for actual age verification.

A year or two after that, the government will make a new law saying that your drivers license is no longer a valid form of identification, they're gonna need a retina scan or some other form of "bio" identification.

Next thing you know, you'll be pressing your dick imprint on your PC's automated Cock-Scanner-v4 encryption tray that pops out of your laptop like a cd-rom drive every time you need to check your email.

Slippery slope, indeed.

Republican administration completely fucks up the budget, leaves office with massive deficit

Democrat administration spends the next 4 years cleaning up that clusterfuck

GOP tells it's dumbfuck base that it's all the Dems fault that their 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 gets 8 mpg and they're gonna fix everything

Dumbfuck republican voters fall for it, yet again, because they never passed the 9th grade and have been huffing diesel exhaust for the past 20 years

Dumbfuck masses rally and vote in another Republican administration

That cycle has gone on repeat over and over and over again for literally my entire lifetime. It's all I know. That has been my experience with with the US government, for my whole life.

I'm tired, boss.
