    Here's the trick when driving on highways to clear up traffic jams: try to move at a flat, constant speed, such that by the time you would reach the stopped car in front of you it …

    perhaps they are planning for the eventuality that long-lifespan unused accounts become a commodity, an easy way to avoid age verification.

    This is going to wind up with remote attestation being implemented into web browsers to prevent this exact thing (and conveniently for google, this will finally end adblock)

    if nothing works, try cryonics. Maybe AI-2040 is right and we'll be able to revive you in a few years.

    No, nobody can be held liable for the extinction of humanity, for there is nobody left to pay up. If your objection is that you think AIs won't cause human extinction, you should s…

    There are also non-transferrable passkeys which can't be copied between two secure devices, so it'd be hard to get some passkeys onto your yubikey in the first place. Furthermore, …
