Normally (at least in the US) intelligence personnel are heavily vetted for this sort of thing, as a pretty obviously vector for blackmail etc. I wonder if the role, apparently "executive director of the Israel Cyber Directorate"

If people like rust for foundational software, cool, I wish they would write something in it and let it compete on its merits, and not try forcing it on people. Foundational software needs performance, reliability—and productivity Th

Lots of irrelevant mental gymnastics on the ethics of it. In terms of the idea of emergent behavior, I think this is well understood that companies have this kind of personality. Emergent behavior is also the cornerstone of the invisible ha

IT leadership will blame their subordinates, the ones that knew better - somehow in these things it's always the people who should be able to say "I told you so" that get the blame.

Much like the old "piracy" nonsense, I wonder if banning ad blockers would be a net gain for advertisers (if it was possible). Personally I wouldn't go to a site that had any remotely intrusive advertising, even if I wanted t

This was good, the tldr point is LLMs suck at natural writing, particularly long form. Or more abstractly they don't have complex original ideas, so can't do anything that requires this. It's not surprising as it's very

Boring as it is, this is the answer. It's just more religion. Church, cult, cult, church. So we'll get bored someplace else every Sunday. Does this really change our everyday lives?

First, insurance companies should be the last thing we consider when setting policy, this is propaganda for them trying to protect their racket, not anything more telling. Second, governments and private companies should be looking at (soci

The molotov cocktail example is so stupid, because how to make it is essentially entailed in knowing what it is. At least they could do making meth, or better still- something not readily found on the internet that gives a non-expert new ca

Ah ok, that's an important distinction. Seems much less a big deal then - or at least a consumer issue rather than a business one. Having never really used chatgpt (but used the apis a lot), I'm actually surprised that chat users

In case the author is reading, I can't read your article because of that animation at the bottom. I get it, it's cute, but it makes it too distracting to concentrate on the article, so I ended up just closing it.
