I was thinking this months ago and asked AI what would be done.

IT quickly spit out a half dozen things it expected to be issues and the counter measures that would be deployed instantly and likely proactively.

It showed me videos of things like these 24/7 drones for people detected and less lethal things like soundwaves as deterrents.

It showed me videos of cables hardening and other systems being used to prevent cutting cables and stealing electricity.

Discussed the size of the jails that will be built, an expected number of people that move into a few groups of cybercrime (and which would continue to thrive with that) -

Had numbers of number of people that will be eating mealworms for lunch, the political and cult shifts that will occur, all sorts of interesting things.

I'll be putting out a movie about all this that AI already knows and expects to happen. And this is all with currently known and in use technologies.

Millions will be leaving many cities, and direct to needy from farms systems may keep people alive. Office buildings being converted to mealworm and similar farming may happen.

I do not see the millions of people who make a living via call centers to be able to find similar paying jobs. Most of them, and the people who currently make a living supporting them (sandwich shops, cleaning, etc) - will be competing for delivery jobs, which will depress wages, and they will be competing with robots and x-tunnels, etc.

I need to get a working title for all this info I gathered and come back and edit.

I've thought for a long time, two draw piles - one is lands only - and you draw from each of the two piles each turn.

this would be balanced for both players.

If course with magic the lands pile would have to have rules like no lands that turn into creatures or something.. maybe even just basic lands .

but each person gets a land each turn - been thinking that makes the game better.

Maybe they will fix the AI that banned me from running facebook / instagram ads after running them for 8 days.

My ability to run ads, and to work for about half the places trying to hire me to run ads, was perma banned by an AI with this message:

- "Our technology found your ad account doesn’t follow our Advertising Policies. As a result, our technology took action."

Or maybe people knowing of the layoffs set it up this way. Hmm. That would hit their bottom line many times over.

Either way, being struck down in the crossfire is terrible.

- edited to add quotes

The pivotal displacement I believe is going to come for all of the call centers, India has several major cities, and there are others in the US and elsewhere that could be seeing millions that no longer have a job in customer service and IT support - that had been keeping them working, and 1 or 2 other people in their local economy.

Many of the workers in call center IT, sales or customer support I do not think will find a lateral move in any workplace - which will put pressure on the no skill job market like uber and similar, which is already being displaced by waymo for rides and the 200 new delivery robots deployed in LA (and already taking jobs in Chicago)

Finance support jobs in NC, call people in Arizona and Vegas and others will be hit hard.

I have a bunch docs I may turn into a movie on this soon.

AI customer service is already better than many of the call center employees and depending on needs may replace a worker for under $100 / month, right now.

Only thing keeping these places afloat is contracts already in place, and that it may take a few months to ramp up the knowledge bases.

As far as fast food goes; Bojangles a block from me has AI voice bot that handles orders, questions, substitutions, different accents.. I tried to trip it up - and its better than most humans I have at the speaker box.

The inside kiosks at McDs started replacing humans long ago, if they took cash they would be better than humans today.

Replacing humans with cooking or cleaning? There are so many poor people in the US that it will likely just be cheaper to have humans doing that sort of thing.

Other commercial cleaning will likely replace 2 of 3 (or 1 of 3 if they are using child / other limited labor) workers with floor bots not too long from now.

When robots are skilled enough to clean chickens is when I worry about the impending desperation around my local in the US.

would be great if they could recover youtube playlists - I recently discovered that clicking to edit your playlist can turn into an oops deletion when you are off my a milliliter - and there is no 'are you sure delete' modal - it's just gone.

searching for 'recovery my deleted youtube music playlist' basically says find the url and go to internet archive and pray. Mine was shown in two IA pages, but clicking to view list was some 404 type error.

It is possible to restore playlists; they may also be found on archive.org and Common Crawl. But I hadn’t considered how necessary that would be. Regarding this specific case - unfortunately, neither Wayback nor Common Crawl has a single snapshot of the URL youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1RY5RYlgymo2ooWvReUmkwCCcGv0l_gF for the full list of 116 tracks.

thanks for checking! I can see a big benefit in these being backed up, surely there are many others running into this issue.

I might not be able to help, but I’d like to give it a shot. Can I see the two IA links? If it was the “this page hasn’t been archived” error I’m less likely to be able to do anything, but I can check all the Common Crawl indexes and see if they have a copy of something useful.

oh wow, hadn't even thought of that! I put the url wayback machine at top of this post:https://steveiscritical.com/05/youtube-ui-ux-fail-delete-acc...

It's the 'rook' playlist that got deleted, ( when trying to edit playlist to change not so great thumbnail. )

Unfortunately I got the same result that archivarix did above, nothing in CC and nothing in IA. The thumbnail had a different link than the title of the playlist so I thought I’d try that, but the wayback machine redirects to the first video on the playlist, and there’s nothing in the common crawl. I also checked the html just in case there was a track listing hidden in there, but there wasn’t.

Really appreciate you taking the time and thinking of some alternative methods!

Not sure if there is a blocker from youtube in some way, but making backups of public playlists would certainly come in handy for a lot of people.

Seeing the articles and youtube videos and other articles about how to find your YT profile URL and searching the archive - obviously it's a thing bigger than I thought, and not something I ever considered.

I just thought to try putting “music” in place of “www” in the playlist url, but unfortunately IA and CC still have nothing.

and that's been publicly posted since 2019, on their blog 2019-08-05

cloudlfare is not hosting - they are DNS against ddos. Without internet or dns your hosting doesn't matter.

I know they have added additional services and you could say that they offer a type of hosting and domain names and other such stuff.. but generally when place get kicked from cloudflare, it is not their web host.

I would also say that they know pretty well when they kick someone from the dns protection that they are going to be bombarded with ddos and other issues that will take them offline more than likely.

not op, but my thoughts..

1 - hold the parents accountable for putting a dangerous weapon in the hands of munchkins without supervision.

2 - phone manufactures and or internet providers that sell and connect them, must include a bouncer bot system like a locked phone. The parents get to choose and change which set of bouncers filter the phones.

These can be simple like 18 and over content according to your jurisdiction block.. but I would hope they would spend time to choose multiple bouncers that block different things for different values and offer ways to request access to blocked things.

I have posted more details previously.

Apparently this is also the only way to recover a youtube playlist if you accidentally click delete instead of edit.

at least after spending a half hour researching how to recover one - everyone says find the url, go to the internet archive and hope.

Youtube has terrible ux for edit playlist (one desktop anyway)

Luckliy I had a google takeout from not too long ago, and I have been using the YT music much less, so the loss was not as devastating.

and,

recently while trying to decipher why computer was at 98% memory and 65% cpu

one of the culprits is https://li.protechts.net taking 2GB ram and 8% cpu.

DDG searches say this is something for linkedin. - I had two tabs for linkedin open but left behind as I opened other tabs to research.

So I had not reopened these tabs in over 9 hours and they are still just humming along sucking down almost 10% of cpu and a couple gigs of ram for what?

This is firefox with ublock origin - quick searches saw malwarebytes browser guard considered it (protechts.net) malware for a bit and then took it off the list of things it blocked / warned about.

Not sure this is related to the scan mentioned, but it may be related to the overall concerns about data and unknown usage of resources.

I'm considering blocking this at the dns hosts level at this point.

repost of my comment 28 days ago

Thanks for flagging this, I was literally seeing the same thing with protechts.net in my activity tab this morning as I was trying to understand why firefox was aggressively draining my battery.
