Yep. Copyright protects stuff like open source software (GPL license and others) and ensures it stays open and creators get credit. This article is making the case for AI to steal all that for itself. Copyright isn't inherently a bad thing, the way it's used and abused is. You can thank Disney for making copyrights seem like a negative thing all because they wanted to hold on to their damn mouse for centuries. They themselves also profited (and still do) off of works they didn't originally create, like Bambi, Cinderella, etc.

May I present the ESP32?

Us hobbyists have been playing with it for years. Dual core too.

I think I made something looking like this in Kerbal Space Program once.

This is how the retro computer community does it. Instead of trying to keep an aging 30-40 year old floppy or hard drive working, people make all kinds of interface adapters to convert it to be able to use SD and Compact Flash cards. It's usually something like an AVR or PIC microcontroller that talks to the ancient computer on one end, and interfaces with the newer storage medium on the other, acting as a middleman.

I have a NES cart that does this with ROM files on an external card. As long as you make it speak the old protocol, you'll fool the machine into thinking it's using the same old equipment.

It's hilarious when some of these old machines install OSes like Windows 3.11 in like two seconds with a solid state upgrade.

You know what, a high tech futuristic implant would be cool. Imagine being able to get high just by thinking about it, and the implant stimulates your brain cells like THC or alcohol would, or make you think you're playing on the beach tossing a beach ball with some dolphins while you're at work grinding away. Or controlling vehicles like fighter jets with just your mind. You become the plane and can feel every air current across your wings, turning it into a precision flying machine able to thread canyon gaps all day.

But not anything from this asshole.

Post the shoe video too while you're at it.

Shit, I remember having to wipe my boss's computer back in '03 because he clicked on an attachment called something along the lines of "bigtiddies.mpeg.exe" or some shit.
