"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.

First tool ban is here! A new law was just signed in New York that requires blueprint blocking technology on every CNC machine, laser cutter, lathe and 3D printer. This affects everyone who makes, builds or fixes things. This isn't a firearms law. It's a manufacturing law. And they buried it in the budget because they knew exactly what it was.

Because they do not want you fixing things you own, they do not even want you owning things you own. They just want you working until you are so exhausted you cannot think and spending everything you earn. A population that is practically incompetent does not have the tools to revolt.

They are taking our hammer and circle cut thing. Right from our hands. I think in the end... it will just be fascist fighting fascist inside the imperial core. These people have no sense of self preservation. That’s so sensational they cry and inch from the ledge.

Haven't watched the video, but how does this work out in practice?

How can a CNC differ between my own design and a design I've got from a homepage?

Also, how can they block me from sharing my designs for fixing something on a device?

I'm a quite flabbergasted how this should work

Or is there no practical mechanism, only the law that makes everything illegal I try to fix?
That would also be quite an asshole move, but who cares, when I fix a broken hinge in an old appliance?
As long as I don't return it for warranty, the producer has pretty much no say, what I do with my fucking stuff...?

I thought that New York with Mamdani would not do such things?

How did this happen?

[–] ShutUpWesley@piefed.zip 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Its a State Law, Mamdani is only the Mayor of NYC.

[–] msage@programming.dev 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh thank you very much for this explanation.

We need more progressives in positions of power.

I think we need to stop giving politicians power. We are far to lenient with the authorities and liberties we grant our politicians.

For starters we need to start treating campaign promises as legally binding
