He is pandering to his Christo-fascist base.

And yeah, he seems to prioritize that because it encompasses WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE… and those people are stupid af and programmed to follow their designated authority, unfortunately.

Gotta feed the machine.

I mean, these companies are speed-running atrocity after atrocity toward the end of humanity. There is no way this AI bubble ends without mass graves… not if we let them continue to decide how things go.

They would have probably gone with the status quo.

Empty promises to grow the middle class, supported Ukraine and not started a new war with Iran, and kept their corruption at a sustainable level… you know, to keep having a cow to milk rather than slaughtering it for the one-time bonanza.

Probably no mass deportation or concentration camps or thousands of people disappeared into deportation gulags and (likely) mass graves in some country where nobody will find them.

I don’t think many people are saying that. It’s the heel-turn by the USA that causes them to prefer China lately.

As a Canadian, I personally agree that my stance on China has become more favourable because of the shift in perspective that the USA currently offers. Not because they’ve suddenly stopped imprisoning Uyghurs for existing.

6. AI company hijacks your processes, trade secrets, and market to offer the same thing for cheaper than you can. Raises rates for competitors to cover its own token use and simultaneously drive the others out of business.

Failing in Ukraine… so Russia will now also provoke a heavily armed NATO country, and neighbour to Ukraine: Poland.

No. Serious doubt this is real.

Yeah, maybe. Could be a work around for some devices that will support it. I don’t see why not.

Yeah most routers will allow you to configure the traffic policy through their admin console. Some of the ISPs equipment won’t, if that’s all you’re using.

Lots of good suggestions.

The simplest answer assumes you have a router with a firewall that you can configure.

The basic idea is a deny rule targeting the ‘source’ IP address from reaching the ‘destination’ ip addresses.

There are various ways to do this, the best way will be very precise. Some folks have said separate VLAN, very good practice but not required. Some folks suggest pihole, thats really hit or miss unless you know your device relies explicitly on DNS and you also know how to manage that.

It will be easies for you to learn the basic traffic policy before proceeding to other more advanced suggestions, but you will have to probably at least learn that bit of network security to attempt this task. Low difficulty in the grand scheme of things networky.
