Sony is playing with fire. They are speedrunning 2010 again.

With Sony’s commitment to dropping physical media and to some degree ignoring regulations of some countries sony is playing the Chernobyl Test.. again. The last time sony had this much pushback was the removal of OtherOS. OtherOS was the ability to install a version of Linux on the Playstation 3 console. While sony claimed it was a safety issue it was a calculated move to try to keep “pirates” at bay and in reality piss everyone off including the US Government.

After the release of firmware 3.21 and the removal took hold, an enterprising person named George Hotz flexed his programing muscle and got under the hood of the PS3 and not only cracked it he released the system keys that pretty much left the PS3 naked on a street corner with a subway vent blowing up its ass.

That took down the playstation network, Left people unable to play their systems and the irony is the OtherOS was a 2-5% issue. So if we go to today sony has put a hard date of stopping producing physical media, We’ve gone from a 2 to 5% issue to a 80 to 95% issue . if a 2 to 5% issue creates a Geohot, what does an exponential 80 to 95% issue. Because geohot fixed/broke something sony blocked, But when you take the higher percentages, How many hackers are you going to piss off . how many system devs are you going to piss off, How many vibe hackers that don’t know shit about programing but can get an AI to do it for them?

The tools in 2010 were few and far and not entry level. Now in 2026 you have people with tools that could in theory tell them how to badly operate a nuclear reactor. Imagine George Hotz if he had the AI tools of 2026 as an augment to his skills, what you get is not just a security threat but a weapon with the combined intel of every programer and hacker that came before him which makes george threatening to hardware on a global level.

Sony took Hotz to federal court, unleashed throngs of lawyers, and subpoenaed the IP address of anyone who even remotely even thought of Mr hotz even in a rule 34 way. But the math was already out in the wild and others monopolized on it.

Sony is setting the stage for a back blow they might not see coming because they are already using the 2010 playbook against the world of 2026. Geohot wont be involved this time because he has a restraining order likely to the end of time for his actions. But when 2028 comes sony is going to be hit with the collective force of the whole and not only that the force of anyone and everyone who has ever programmed and it will be bad. If this was sony running a nuclear reactor the control rods they think they will slam down are actually made of Pure Graphite and cobalt 60. It’s not good.

Sony is stirring anger faster than they can cool it, they are threatening customers day by day. They are basically adding to the anger because people have the right to be angry. If I told you “Sure I can sell you a car in 2026, But in 2028 the engine is not included” You will get mad. you will stop buying that brand.

“The dignity and safety of our employees must not be threatened by customer harassment, such as words or demands from customers that exceed what is considered reasonable according to social norms,” the publication read. “If any behavior constituting customer harassment is confirmed, we may restrict or suspend customer service in order to protect the safety of our employees.” Some of the examples of customer harassment detailed in the publication include “persistent and repeated, or prolonged, demands; excessive or unreasonable demands for compensation; abusive language, threats, slander, and other similar behaviors; requests unrelated to products or services; intimidating attitude; discriminatory or sexual conduct; and attacks and demands against individual employees.

Sony’s language here is the defined undefined. It works out to we reserve the right to exclude your hardware if we do not like what you are saying. Sony is setting themselves up for a fight with the 1st amendment and basically it will not end well.

They are threatening to take people who harass customer support to court . and what’s to say I have Die hard 2 on in the background and Sony QOS AI monitor takes that as a direct form of harassment you know this will happen. Because the legal system is more and more getting into the crosshairs of fighting with AI every day because of people trying to use AI as a magic wand. Look at youtube with the current situation with Anime right now. Even when Charles White throws his hat in the situation you know its bad.

Dumb: Climbing a mountain with no experience. Dumber: asking someone who has never climbed a Mountain to do it. Darwin dumb: It was AI

Every time I am thinking about AI, there is a fatal concept that comes to mind with AI, it has never done anything but, it can explain it in concept it but not much else.

Three novice hikers from Roseville were stranded overnight on Mt. Shasta after following Google’s Gemini AI for route and packing advice, turning an expected eight-hour climb into a multi-day ordeal in Mud Creek Canyon.

What.. the fuck.. asking gemini for instructions to climb a mountain is like asking google maps to guide you through a city when you forget its in pedestrian mode. You will go down more than a few one ways backwards and likely end up with mr police officier asking if you are on something.

In what authorities are calling a “critical misstep,” three hikers relied heavily on Google’s Gemini AI to guide them through a Mt. Shasta summit, leaving them stranded on the mountain’s southeastern flank.

A critical misstep is understatement of the century, what is next for our enterprising adventurers climbing Mt Everest and ignoring sherpa’s that have boots on the ground for centuries and going “Nah dude we got this with AI!” .

In a post on Facebook, the Sheriff’s Office said, “The men summited at 7:00 pm that evening, well after the recommended turnaround time of 12:00 pm, and descended in the dark.”
Officials said that, an hour into their descent, the group called the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch to ask for directions but eventually wandered off route into Mud Creek Canyon.
That evening, one of the hikers fell and suffered a knee injury.

Our heroes here failed in so many ways it’s not funny. AI is not a magic device that makes you superior at doing things it makes you stupider at doing things if you have no concept of how to do it. AI has never climbed a mountain, AI has never gone to work in new york through the subways and over road routes. it has a “concept” of all of this but it has never done it for itself and this makes AI a bad companion when the user does not know how to do things. If you are talking to AI about installing a 240v supply for your washing machine and use the same prompt later for building a PC you never know if the AI will amalgamate the two together and it tries to make you a PC powered at 240V .

If you are clueless and you have no idea how to do something, Start with the basics like “I want to go up Mt Shasta”. Than ask yourself what does it take to go up Mt Shasta , OH YEAH CLIMBING. our heroes were young here and likely from a university, firstly they could of checked at the uni if there was any climbing or hiking groups. Secondly, they could of reached out to any local climbing place and say ” hi, I do not have much climbing experience and want to climb Mt Shasta.” In two tenths of a second the guy at the climbing place is going to do one of two things, If he just answers the question he’d say “NO don’t do it ” Or if the guy is into his craft “no, please don’t do it, our Climbing group goes to Mt Shasta twice a year and its not recommended for novice, How about I offer you an introductory to climbing course at 25% off?”

We need to stop acting like AI is the mastery of anything, if anything the AI is the master of average, It takes the sum of human intelligence and averages it out. That is AI’s ability. It can’t fathom new ideas, It can NOT figure out how much rocks have fallen on Mt Shasta, Microclimates, our Heroes Abilities or disabilities.

At Mushroom Rock (12,800 ft), another climbing party warned them to turn around. They ignored them and kept climbing into the dark. This is class A dumbarrery at an epic level. Because at the simplest of levels walk around your house… Than blackout every window in the house and try that again. You will fail.

Reading further….. what .. oh What the fuck..

The incident occurred days before Google announced its multi-year partnership with Beast Industries, a company founded by YouTube influencer Jimmy Donaldson, also known as his media personality MrBeast, who produces viral spectacles online.
According to the announcement, on Sunday a new MrBeast video will follow Donaldson and his crew as they attempt to survive “some of the most extreme and treacherous climates on Earth.”
Teams will race to navigate the jungle, the desert and the Arctic using Google’s Gemini to help them identify dangers and survive “brutal weather.”

This will end well? But Mr Beast has millions of dollars and some experience here so I guess he will do well, but this idea is fucking horrible because it’s going to cause more heroes for Mt Shasta. Those rescues are not cheap and at times people recieve bills into the tens of thousands of dollars.

The sheriff’s office said hikers should also have multiple methods of wayfinding. “Do not simply rely on your cellphone or Garmin, and stop to verify that you are on the correct route often.”
The Clear Creek Route on Mt. Shasta, which the three hikers wandered onto, is not a technical mountaineering route, but officials say it still requires climbers to be physically fit and prepared for unforeseen circumstances, such as an injury, inclement weather or an unplanned overnight stay.
“Serious accidents and fatalities occur on the Clear Creek route when individuals become lost and wander into more dangerous terrain, such as the Mud Creek drainage,” officials said on Facebook.

My closing here is Mr Sheriff from the office has sage advice “Do not simply rely on your cellphone or Garmin, and stop to verify that you are on the correct route often.” This man is our hero in the adventure because the three guys basically decided to conquer a mountain with a keyboard.

ed note: with the use of generative images as of late it looks like spelling issues is back on the menu. oh well its another perfect example of why not to use one single device as a way to get a result. Im keeping the errors its funny..

Things I’ve heard about data centers from no one in particular.

1: Everyone needs a Data Center.

Not everyone needs a data center. No one wants a white noise machine that plays above safe hearings levels. The thing is data Centers are taking up building and land next to residential areas because they are looking for the shortest plug to the outlets. Why go out to the middle of the desert and annoy no one when you have all you need on the edge of a city . They come in and asks towns for tax breaks and special use overrides in water/electricity uses and make everyone around them poorer for having them come in . Its like saying a billionaire moving into a small town will make everyone rich but he stays up all night partying and takes a dump on your front lawn.

2: Everyone gets rich around a Data Center.

If you want a tax break without even having to go to your city meetings are too anxious and don’t like your being home being valuable because taxes are too high, The data center running is what you want! If you like your water brown and want everything to look like the flooded delta of a river because of overruns in cooling, Get a data center. If you think you don’t replace your electronics enough and you want them to wear out faster due to brownouts every time the massive cooling fans kick up. Get a Data Center! If you don’t want to listen to your wife and need an excuse rather than ignore her and her question if you have hearings loss, Get a data center! Data centers should not be these things that are city blocks wide. if a place wants a data center, a reasonable installment that is agreed in three ways between the municipalities , the citizens and the data company should be key. These data centers also let off massive plumes of heat that can hurt humans and animals.

3: Data Centers use no electricity.

If your still reading at this point you deserve this cookie, because this was a comment said by a fairly high up person. This is just batshit. when you have AI companies buying the rights to spin up old nuclear reactors this farce is to false the pants are not only on fire they exploded into a supernova. A single modern hyperscale AI data center cluster draws much more than an office building, it demands 300 to 1,000+ megawatts which is around powering the scale of powering every house in the state of rhode island. I mean honestly if you believe this, I got some snake oil for you that cures boredom, homeschooling, every disease, the shits, your car not starting, your ex girlfriend in one convenient formula.

OpenAI claims AI is as capable as humans now, Great now it will screw up faster.

Here we go again, CEO or some three letter title in a company saying their AI is more Smarter/faster/capable than humans.

Greg Brockman, who leads product development at OpenAI, said he believes that the company’s latest AI model, Astra, due to be available inside ChatGPT in coming days,qualifies as “artificial general intelligence,” or AGI. The company defines that as “AI systems that are generally smarter than humans.”

Oh brother we are doing this now. I thought we were over this with the 4g thing, when 4g came out they said THE SKY is the limit! Than when we got what really came out we did not even get an apology letter. But not we are slipping in extra letters with AI now. AGI is like saying ATM Machine, the reason I picked the Automated Teller Machine Machine is this is foreshadowing. AGI is going to be the subset AI, Why profit off of one AI when we can make thirty. It gives the vibe if you use the AI CPA and right after the moment you filing your taxes it goes “would you like to have the AI lawyer to check tax laws and assets to see if your negative tax return will affect any of your properties with liens” *insert 399.99.

Astra, which the company announced Thursday, has been trained to use computers in much the same way people do

So you mean it will work for 5 minutes, forget what you were talking about, and browse reddit and doomscroll tiktok? Oh wait LLMs baked that in already. That’s where they got volumes of data from.

OpenAI said, and can tackle lengthy tasks like financial modeling, tax preparation and video game development with minimal human oversight. (The Washington Post has a content partnership with OpenAI.)

We understand WAPO, your lips are brown. Give or take the way the WAPO has handled itself of the past two plus years it shows.

“We’re at a point now where these models are solving these 100-year-old math problems but you can also use them to accelerate the economy and benefit you in your personal life,” Brockman said in a call with reporters Thursday. “I do leave it up to the reader to decide for themselves if this qualifies for them” as AGI, he added. “I think we’re there.”

Sure these models are solving problems, but going back to the capabilities, we are talking 99.99% has ADD, if you miss-word one word in a draft your little LLM friend suddenly goes Normal output when you are trying to email your doctors about your sons spots and a fever and vomiting to from warning of sun spots and CME’s and the end of the universe.

Astra was evaluated by the U.S. government under the White House’s new framework for ensuring new AI is safe for public release, Brockman said. “There was nothing that they came back saying ‘you need to change this,’” he said.

The answer of no answer from the admin is on the level of “and?” The thing right now AGI is so far off the scope if we are to call it what it is, There is no way right nows neural network AI will ever be able to learn like a human , because right now agentic AI learns all information that is inputted, Even given weights to learning, you could have a structural guide to building a nuclear reactor and you are within three misspelling of getting Dear Playboy letters to the editor over having a one night stand at a nuclear reactor.

Real human cognitive awareness knows when to ignore a quip, a joke or the nuggets of information that are meaningless due to intuition. When we are at the store and see the shelf in the Nuts section with a store label of “ass nuts” we do not think of some weird ass shaped nuts, we know it’s trail mix not a Kardashian ass.

When we see a completely hands of AI , Where it can learn and knows what not to learn and what to learn we can revisit this. Right now AI is cookie monster, it sees data it eats, This AI doesn’t know when to stop eating and what we are seeing is AI eating itself in the end. There is a human in the loop, if we were to get to a true level of Self governance of an AI there would have to be laws to be put in place to protect humans from themselves and the AI.

My final word here is Greg Brockman, Has Polished a turd and tried to call it new by adding nuts.
