"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

bruh aint such a thing, every emp u could build at home would have a max range of a few meters tops, everything beyond that would need fision and or fusion elements, wich are not diy capable.
Besides that, its rather trivial to make robots EMP resistant by giving em a mesh or foil shell.
Aside from the joke, the reality is that the work required to get the wealth to the point where they have complete control will need to be done by human hands. Until they can have robots making robots making robots, they will require human labor which will require human cooperation.
Creating robots is no simple task and requires long supply chains that create a significant attack surface. Copper, steel, ceramics, ammo, batteries, computer chips, etc all have to come from somewhere. Power grid infrastructure becomes even more critical when robots are the only thing protecting you.
That's why I am less concerned that the Epstein class will be able to pull something like this off. Our current system is in active collapse, and their continued existence is predicated on the current system remaining in place.
