Fair, but one is structural, the other is a series of bad choices that could be undone without upending the constitutional order.

Having one guy in charge of the entire executive branch was possibly the biggest blunder made by the framers of the US Constitution.

We could have undone wage slavery a long time ago if automation of work was a sufficient condition.

The root problem is forcing or allowing cyclists and pedestrians to use the same spaces. Traffic must be segregated by speed.

I got mouths to feed, and if I only worked at places where I respected everyone in top leadership, well ... we'd probably starve.

Depending on how we measure it, either 58% or 75% of that heavily subsidized soy goes to feed animals. https://insideanimalag.org/share-of-soybean-crop-for-feed/

The real risk is when shareholders realize an LLM can do the CEO's job.

CS hiring has always been very cyclical, and there have been more flush times prior to 2010 where CS more or less guaranteed a good paying job.

Insurance companies are using AI (whatever that means in this case) to make coverage denial decisions. That can be reasonably summarized as robots are taking away our healthcare.

Nobody in your circle of friends/acquaintances perhaps.

Even if it can give the right answer when asked, will it necessarily account for that in a recipe it generates? A beginning cook may not know enough to ask.

by stvltvs 6mo ago
A naive hope perhaps, but this ignores the risk of LLMs just creating a bad recipe based on the blind combination of various recipes in their training data.

Even if I change the setting, my messages aren't truly secure against this unless all recipients do the same on all of their devices.

Even if it didn't, collecting it seems wildly expensive.

I think this is straining the meaning of false friends. They are derived from closely related forms and differ only slightly in meaning: "to us two" versus "to us all". I guess if you see that as a significant difference

Contrary to what GP said, they're not false friends. They're a (lost) part of English's Germanic roots, shared with modern German. Edit: Check out the Proto-Germanic personal pronouns. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Are you converting the SSIS automatically somehow or rewriting it?

How so?

The US is relatively weak without its allies. NATO was the real superpower in the west. The current regime got too big for their britches and tried to go it alone.

Whether or not the UX is better, from a security standpoint I choose the web version because of browser sandboxing unless I'm forced to use the app. If I'm forced to use the app, I probably choose not to use the service.

Pending availability of specialists, willingness to travel, etc.

True, but I'm guessing they're referring to anatomically modern humans which have only been here for a couple hundred thousand years. Not sure that's a meaningful way to look at it since I'm assume Neanderthals also evol

Missing the point. If CEOs realize that they're more replaceable by AI than nurses and medical assistants, for example, then maybe they'll take a more nuanced view of the technology.

The chain of responsibility must include the AI vendor. If vendors aren't liable for malpractice, there will be less incentive for all due diligence when lives are on the line.

Mostly it's useful in my experience on systems without Perl installed, but that doesn't often come up in my world.

Many of us were alive when the TSA was created. It's not a mystery why it's there. (Mostly so politicians could say they did something to improve air travel security.)

> It's six tiny paragraphs and provides hardly any actual data or reporting. That's a fair criticism that doesn't rely on the identity of the author.

Or delete old photos because their phone is slow. Techies really overestimate the correctness of the mental models non-techies walk around with.
