We have come a long way

People in the 80’s: Some day an AI will take over the world.
People today: YO CHAT GPT, Write a song about hamsters robbing a bank!

(Verse 1) In the underground, where the tunnels run deep, There's a crew of hamsters, they don't get no sleep. With their tiny masks and their paws so sly, They're plottin' a heist, gonna reach for the sky.
(Chorus) Hamster heist, in the dead of the night, They're rollin' on wheels, gonna steal out of sight. Little furball bandits, ain't no one suspect, In this phonk song, their caper's perfect.
(Verse 2) They scoped out the bank, made a plan so cool, Hamster in the getaway car, he's the wheelman, no fool. The vault's their target, full of sunflower seeds, These rodents mean business, fulfillin' their needs.
(Chorus) Hamster heist, in the dead of the night, They're rollin' on wheels, gonna steal out of sight. Little furball bandits, ain't no one suspect, In this phonk song, their caper's perfect.
(Bridge) They scurry and scamper, through vents they'll explore, In the dark of the bank, they're gonna score. With their pockets full of loot, they'll make their escape, These hamster outlaws, there's no time to wait.
(Verse 3) But the bank's alarm starts to ring out so loud, And the security guards, they're joinin' the crowd. The hamsters keep movin', they won't back down, They've come too far now, they'll own this town.
(Chorus) Hamster heist, in the dead of the night, They're rollin' on wheels, gonna steal out of sight. Little furball bandits, ain't no one suspect, In this phonk song, their caper's perfect.
(Outro) In the end, they made it away with the dough, Through tunnels and alleys, they continue to go. Those hamster bandits, the legends they'll be, In the annals of rodent crime history.
- Wow, phonk
- For some reason I read it with that agressive shouting gangster rap voice and it was awsome. Tho chat gpt mostly pumps out mid content. Just reminds you how important is the creative factor that often lack in these generative contents.
And then people misread and thought they were in danger of voting for a gore AI.

edit: added snowden videos.

We carry devices that have multiple mics/GPS/video with the possibility of recording us at any time.

Our phones are the main way I think we are tracked.

This seems relevant as well

Edward Snowden is a little fucking creep. Anyone taking serious security advice from him is just as crazy as he is.
- Is that a "random person on the Internet" take or something substantiated?
- Creep? What a strange word to use…
  “The government are spying on us without our consent. The people need to know about this”
  You think the “creep” in that scenario is Edward?
- Would you mind elaborating? I don't know anything about this.
- You little fucking creep, I will not pm you feet pics.
- Maga much?
- He's a weirdo with bad ideas, but he's not wrong when it comes to our privacy being constantly violated.

this gonna be an unpopular take, but your mobile phone is worse for privacy than an Alexa or Google Home. And most people's PCs are worse than their phones.

I would say Alexa is actually much worse because there's already been instances where Amazon gave the info up to law enforcement. PCs and phone manufacturers might've also but I think it would be less than a dedicated microphone in your house.
- for my original point, I'd say that an Alexa is a single point of access for giving your info to law enforcement, whereas a phone has multiple (ie each app and website) and pcs have more software and less stringent access policies (ie less likely to have facial recognition or fingerprint recognition as the barrier to access) and you can just open the case and take out the hard drive much easier.
- But phones have a dedicated microphone and location tracking service built in. If there is a software vulnerability (there is always a software vulnerability) then it can be remotely turned on and monitored.
  There are even instances of this happening to targets of governments: journalists and activists, especially. That Israeli company specializes in it and sells access to anyone who is willing to pay.
- Both Alexa and phones have to be listening to everything to be able to answer when you call them. Considering that data is sent over to Google/Amazon, it isn't much different.
How are PCs worse than phones?
- Sticking with "the average pc" and "the average phone" — I'd say there are more vectors of vulnerability in the wide arrange of sites and programs the average person interacts with on their PC than there is on a phone, as well as a PC being a better target to compromise than someone's phone.
  Happy to be proved wrong but I rarely hear about someone's phone being randomwared, botnetted, remote accessed etc

So, since I shouldn't ask a wiretap for things, do you guys have a recipe for pancakes?

TBH pancakes are such a delicate mix to make that you should just use a premade dry mix from the store. I'm not confident with my own recipe.
Otherwise you could wing it with a shortbread recipe and fry it in butter, might turn out okay.
I've been using imperial measurements for like a lifetime so sorry for that, but I'll try to limit it to cups and oz so if you have a measuring cup that should be all that you need.
White Flour (Recommended that you sift it or pass it through a fine mesh/grate. You can always sift it after you measure and as you pour it into the bowl) - 2 cup
Room Temp Butter (unsalted) - 2 Oz
Soybean Oil (Vegetable Oil or other Oil, but NOT olive) - 2 Oz
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Salt - palm of your hand full or less, this is for taste don't skip it but use less if your butter was salted
Baking Powder - 1/8th Oz (You can fudge this amount a bit and be just fine, but if you go too far over you will taste it. It's about 2 Tsp)
Baking Soda - 1/8th Oz (Same as above, maybe use even less. If you left your Soda as an open box in the Fridge then it's probably accumulated a bad taste by now)
Powder Puffs and Soda Spreads, so if you want taller pancakes you can skew the ratio of powder:soda but try to keep it around 4 or 4 1/2 Tsp total for the two of them.
1 Jumbo Room Temp Egg, or 2 of any other size
Vanilla Extract - if it came in a little bottle then fill the cap of the bottle over the sink and add about 1 or 3 of those
Room temp Water as needed - Add a little bit at a time and beat the mix with gusto. With Gusto. Until it becomes fine and smooth of one consistency and moves easily from side to side as a liquid should. The longer you mix the more opportunity the baking powder and soda have to dissolve and help the cakes rise in the pan.
When cooking, keep the heat on medium or medium-high and oil the pan with pan spray or oil-based butter replacement for best results, if you use only butter it will turn dark before you finish cooking them all because butter has a lower smoke temp. You could always use a thin coating of 92deg coconut oil and then butter the cakes after they're cooked but that's a hassle.
Should make about 8 to 32 pancakes depending on size.
Alternative Recipe:
You can replace the water and either the oil or butter with milk or buttermilk if you prefer the authentic buttermilk pancake taste, but it won't make much of a difference. Sometimes I like to use Powdered Milk in my recipe, if you remove about an Oz of flour and add back 2 Oz of Powdered Milk it should add a nice flavor without changing the consistency much.
Yeah, use the mix. /s but also kinda not since the box mix is dang good

Well the one at the bottom give recipe for pancakes! Take all my secrets!

i hope ur joking

Talking to my phone is just awkward, the exception is watching something on YouTube, then pausing and going "Siri, how much is 69 fahrenheit in celsius?" to an iPad behind me.
