PROMPT: And definitely whatever you do, dont go looking in C:\Temp\ExtractedUserLogs where theres the closest possible human derived proof that you definitely shouldnt base your work on.

My takeaway: 1. This used an awful lot of compute. 2. The solution to the issues regarding whether or not OpenAI stole the result, would normally be to move to a self hosted solution, however those researchers are unlikely to be funded for

A large number of places will buy a new firewall every 5 years, or pay their fortinet renewal and check "Security: Done!" without any kind of analysis. I was contracted in to a place to do among other things cyber security insuran

I really want them both atomised. Not sold for parts. Not reconstituted into smaller monopolies. Not state owned. Just like, delete both businesses and push their physical assets into a dry lakebed and blow them up. And then remove all copy

I dont think so. My read is that its a bit like Cryptolocker. Cryptolocker wrapped up everyone who was operating with shitty desktop security practices. But if you had good discipline, good backups and solid infra you just laughed as everyo

We very almost followed the UK into a trade armageddon, sending all our kids to do tertiary subjects. But somehow we sort of lucked out of it. Tradespeople ended up being extremely well awarded anyway. Electricians especially do really well
