But factories employed people. Datacenters hardly do. And whatever there is is low quality menial stuff. Moving boxes, bring told what to do by another low paid engineer in Bangalore.
And these datacenters aren't our means of production. They're generally owned by American companies and the proceeds disappear.
And yes outsourcing has been a huge negative for society too. It's the groups that have drawn the short straw from this that are now voting extreme right. That's what we get for not looking after the interests of our own workers.
Unnecessary access isn't a solveable problem. In order to restrict permissions to exactly what a program needs, in general, you'd have to define exactly what a program does. In other words, you'd need to rewrite the program with self-enforcing access restrictions.
So, permissions are always going to be more general than what a program actually needs and, therefore, exploitable.
Producing incorrect information is an insidious example of this. We can't simply restrict the program's permissions so that it only yields correct outputs -- we'd need to understand the outputs themselves to make that work. But, then, we're in a situation where we're basing our choices on potentially incorrect and unverified outputs from the program.
That's a good advice in general to treat any software as untrusted black box as much as possible. But it raises (slightly, but still does) the cost/effort for the user: the user now has to make extra steps and take extra caution.
These concerns were great valid even before vibecoding becoming a thing, but now the estimated probabilities of malicious code's presence have changed, simply because nowadays the cost/effort of writing software plummeted.
For dmarc purposes it is moving to DNS, with dmarcbis the psd tag and treewalk will replace hoping everybody uses the same file and keeps it up to date
Datacenters are means of production, no different than factories
Without means of production, you are at the mercy of those with
No different than outsourcing manufacturing
> huge load on the power grid
Then build reliable power plants, ideally ones that aren't turned off every day at 10pm
