  • Quoting Kohler:

    We encrypt data end-to-end in transit, as it travels between users’ devices and our systems, where it is decrypted and processed to provide and improve our service.

    I guess Kohler recently learned about TLS? IBM’s response, which is a bit random in my opinion, addresses the idiocy of the E2EE claim lol.

    I’d hope they encrypt data in transit? Not doing so would be an incredible, though unsurprising, show of incompetence. Setting up TLS and getting certs is easy these days with LetsEncrypt, and a company like Kohler could even get certs through AWS or Azure or something if they wanted.

    I can’t imagine why I’d ever spend money on a camera for my toilet, especially if it includes a subscription fee. That’s a new level of stupid.






  • Wild assumption.

    I don’t worship. That’s just plain stupid, at least in my opinion. Books can be read for the sake of reading them. Knowledge isn’t some weird forbidden apple on a tree. It’s something used to make informed decisions in the world.

    Please seek therapy. The psychosis is strong with this. The “us vs them” mentality is nothing short of cultish brainwashing. Worship is fine, belief and faith are fine, community building is even cool, but turning it into a cult just justifies my decision to distance myself from religion more.







  • In the meantime, we can expect AI to be at the center of more layoff announcements —whether people believe the job cuts are solely the results of AI or not.

    If the AI bubble pops, you can bet the layoffs will be the result of AI, though not in the way people usually mean by this. Honestly, as much as I don’t want to see what it does to the world, I’m still curious what would/will happen.

    You simply cannot replace people with AI. The statement itself is nonsense. Even so-called “agentic” AI cannot replace an employee in all aspects of work. You would need AGI to approach that.

    Like the article mentions, it’s just an excuse to fire people.
