Check their comment history. This account is either trolling or just spouting talking points, it is getting pretty tiring. They can't even be bothered to properly cut-and-paste, see the missing 'I' at the beginning of the com

No, it does not show either. You completely fail at understanding my quite brief comment just jumped to delivering your talking point.

AI is extremely good at producing well formatted bullshit. You need to be constantly on guard against stuff that sounds and looks right but ultimately is just noise. You can also waste a ton of time on this. Especially OpenAI's offer

AI does not give you knowledge. It magnifies both intelligence and stupidity with zero bias towards either. If you were above average intelligent then you may be able to do a little bit more than before assuming you were trained before AI

Precisely. The first 10 rungs of the ladder will be removed, but we still expect you to be able to get to the roof. The AI won't get you there and you won't have the knowledge you'd normally gain on those first 10 rungs to he

The ridiculous amount of focus on this one individual vs the complete lack of attention for the thousands of Iranians already dead is very disturbing.

I just start AppImages from the command line and put them in my /home/$username/bin that seems to take care of most of the annoying edge cases. Snaps are ridiculously hostile abusing the mount system and polluting all kinds o

I hate to say this but I suspect you are right.

Everything except for sales tends to be seen as a cost centre. It's ridiculous.

Hard to tell. But given that it was their legal department contacting me I think you know the answer to that one.

I've already established that it was improper. It's up to them to make the most of that knowledge and then to determine of this is a singleton or an example of a class that has more representation. In that sense it is free to them

And they do not track the industry at all, at best they'll help you win the war of five years ago.

They could. But they don't. I've seen this up close. The regulatory bodies as a rule are understaffed, overworked and underpaid. I'm sure they'd love to do a much better job but the reality is that there are just too man

Yes. But I'm not working at either company and I'm 99.9% sure that it would lead to absolutely nothing other than a lot of misery for myself. The NDA's I sign have some pretty stiff penalties attached. I was actually hoping t

I came across a top tier compliance auditor doing the same thing recently. I tried to talk to them about it and rather than approaching this from a constructive point of view they wanted to know the name of the company that got certified so

It's a special level of disgusting, that's for sure. And I though Installmonetizer was pretty bad, this one goes well beyond that.

Unfortunately, agreed. I once joked to some friends that the Mennonites would be the only people that would get through the next energy crisis without so much as blinking.

Precisely. But if it isn't clear now then the only way it will become clear will be through catastrophe.

Get decentralized to the point that no single point of failure will result in wholesale outages: resilient as cockroaches. You can't do that if you have interconnects that have to work for society to work. The centralized electrical gr

That's the problem: the cost doesn't really go down. You can only operate nuclear if you guarantee the prices a decade ahead. That's just not realistic and the end result is that you'll end up subsidizing ever KWh produc

No, what they should do instead is decentralize energy generation to the point that we're in cockroach mode. And if that means that transportation of goods gets priority over transportation of people then so be it until we've figu

The only thing that makes delve worse in my book is that they're selling compliance, they have zero excuses. But the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic even if they don't sell compliance do whitewash bulk copyright violations and the
