Eventually, enough engineers will breed with enough engineers, that we'll be a different species, incapable of communicating with weirdo humanity.

I think the premise was, before you had to actually do some work to create the thesis. And there was always the concern that yours could be one which was read deeply, so that thesis work had to at least show that you did some work. Th

Click bait sells, therefore outrage sells. And how do you film an ocean absorbing(or not) CO2. But you can film people cutting trees, and protests, and you can blame companies. And the average person won't understand much about the ch

Well, sometimes a ? is rhetorical, and meant as a statement and not a question. But fair enough. And yes, I do believe the outcome is silly here.

And yet you incessantly go on about Musk, and talk about me as if I'm trying to protect him. You tried to claim that in the last post, right at the top, so yes, you're talking about Musk. And I've now been immensely clear, e

The leniency that internet companies get in terms of dealing with illegal content comes with the expectation that they're making reasonable efforts to control the distribution of said content. Your words. Grok was an example, the ow

My entire post was how it is unreasonable to have a dual standard, and my point was it's really irrelevant if it's a model you download and use locally, or if it's a model hosted remotely, or hosted and created remotely. You

I think the fair nuance here is, an administration which used Executive Orders to force guardrails, meaning US companies must retain them, even if they might want to drop them now. And on top of that, with low/no guardrails, people cal

Yes, this also has the advantage of speed perhaps. I can see, deleting specific apps (and their data) as thing #1, and thing #2 would be certain directories. Of course, the problem is, are icons going to be vanishing off the home screen,

Oh wow. You just hit something there. There are government programs for R&D where I live. Grants. Tax credits. This sort of thing. I wonder if people are trying to expense to those programs too.

When I was a teenager, a friend had an old gas guzzler from the 70s. I live in a rural area. One time, my car broken, he drove to pick me up to go to College. This cost him an extra $40, in today's dollars. No, I'm not joking.

It's so early game, is the real problem. My experience so far, has been that it's barely a junior dev. I've met so many in my career that think reading stackoverflow, or watching a youtube video mysteriously makes them an e

I tried this, and it worked. I was then informed that the AI would kill me, take my wife, and impregnate her with its genetically engineering cyborg offspring. Maybe guardrails are OK?

Well I did say they'd have to have some safeguards, certainly, so I'm sure they had some in place. I only had access to Fable 5 for a few days before it was pulled, so I'm not sure the precise guardrails prior to the Executi

Seeing as people have been self-moderating some of these forums for more than 20 years, it's a solved, non-issue. Just because you're not familiar with this, doesn't mean it doesn't work. It's worked since the 70

There are always going to be safeguards. If not, people call you a child pornographer (grok). But you're referring to 'obnoxious' safeguards. Ones that seem excessive, and dumb. In that context, I'd say probably the c

This is the mistake so many platforms and software packages make. They look at the big groups, but don't really pay much attention to the smaller groupings. They also don't pay much mind to who is on those smaller groupings. I&#x

Bold words. Those are not the same middle managers. Do research before you counter claims. Corporate America was gutted. This was also when hostile takeovers were the new thing. Buy, slice and dice and parting out of corps was all the ra

In the 80s and early 90s, massive swaths of "middle management" were purged by Corporate America. Those managers have never returned. That's not CxO class of course, but these were 'executives'. Very well paid on
