#laziness — Public Fediverse posts

It is considered a certainty that #quantum computers will crack all currently known encryption techniques in no time at all.

Once #AI runs on them—AI trained by human #greed and a #addiction for control, having learned that #security is an accepted pretext for establishing total #surveillance—the worst #dystopias will become reality. Hopefully, the cheers of all the proponents will then stick in their throats.

But go ahead and celebrate your #convenience; indulge in the #laziness of not having to learn anything new, while you exploit the knowledge and skills of those who studied and trained for years—only to be ruthlessly robbed. Your disrespect and stupidity disgust me!

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

Our readiness to think ill of people without sufficiently examining the matter is based on laziness and pride. We want to find people guilty, we don’t want the bother of studying their crimes.
 
[La promptitude à croire le mal, sans l’avoir assez examiné, est un effet de l’orgueil et de la paresse: on veut trouver des coupables, et on ne veut pas se donner la peine d’examiner les crimes.]

François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶267 (1665-1678) [tr. Kronenberger (1959)]
