It was hard. With AI, migrating away from aws is easy.
Didn't you know, Guac is ALWAYS extra!
With that kind of attitude, Sara Connor would have never defeated the Terminator.
Can't is a pretty big word. Like the other commenter said, can't replace until a Tesla Optimus robot is hired.
Tens of millions? Lol, why would it stop there. 99% of jobs.
10 months? Lol. I have sad news for you. It's going to get pretty bad in the job front by then. AI is going vertical. Get every penny you can save before then.
Was it an AI generated video? That might make it sting even more.
All I read was "By Gamer Furry". Oh wait, it said Fury. Awww. UwU
In the future there will be "Prove you're not a human". Ridiculously easy. Put some complex math problem on the screen and give a certain time to solve it.
This probably would only work until you got maybe 100 people large. Then, you're guessing that there are no bad actors, or guessing that you can detect them, lol. Good luck with that! Maybe in small groups.
Many scraping services already promise to get you past various captchas. It's often time the only way to get certain data. Face it, captchas are zombie levels of dead, and are essentially wasting CPU cycles at this point. (Maybe it would protect you from a DDoS. Maybe.)
Some day, I predict slashdot will have an edit comment feature. Hell will probably freeze over too, at the same time.
Oh, you wanted updates with that? Yeah, we're only offering immediately available updates now with our Ultra Plus Premium Prime subscribers. Please talk to one of our sales sharks that can craft you a price if you need that.
"What encryption were you going to run on Z80 class processors?"
Wasn’t rhetorical? Cool — here's a serious answer.
XTEA is one of the strongest ciphers that can reasonably run on a Z80. It’s a 64-bit block cipher with a 128-bit key and a very compact footprint — perfect for 8-bit systems. The operations are just shifts, XORs, and adds, so it’s lightweight and doesn’t require much RAM or code space.
Is it brute-forceable?
In theory, yes — any 128-bit key cipher is, but not practically. 2 keyspace is still out of reach for exhaustive search, even with modern hardware (unless you’ve got a nation-state budget and some quantum fairy dust). There are no known practical attacks that break full XTEA when used correctly.
So yeah — it's not AES, but it's solid enough for real-world use on limited hardware like the Z80. Definitely way stronger than RC4, and far better than "roll-your-own XOR".
