That’s a you problem, not the AI. Stand up to your manager and explain to them how the situation is their fault. Or take responsibility for your complicity from not quitting. But don’t blame the AI for process failures that it did not im

Just like all the current cohort of software engineers will review all of the vibe-coded slop they shovel into their releases. Right……

I could not agree more. The rise of sandboxing reflects a decrease in trust. Not just in AI. You just don’t download stuff from the internet anymore. It does not matter who created it, or whether it is open source. There is too great a

That’s all we have left. Speeches, voting, and juries will not save us from a system this corrupt. The ongoing civil war will turn bloody eventually.

And that’s how you prevent bake sales, lemonade stands, and more. You create a barrier to entry that gets raised little by little until only the biggest players can afford the game. Software liability would end all small open source proje

A network connected device that can be hacked is a small step away from being the first foothold into its server. The fact that on-device security is this atrocious suggests that their server is not any better quality, which means hacking

Given the sibling reply, I can imagine them claiming national security prevents them from releasing those records. But that’s okay; I am fairly certain we can find enough developers willing to tell their tales.

Settlements are not justice.

Gotta love that Google enforces rules on developers that it won’t even enforce on itself. Such a great look.

I hope someone will sue the ever-loving shit out of Apple when their foot dragging prevents a critical update from going out in time to prevent a 0-day from being widely exploited.

Do you hate open source and want only projects where their authors can afford liability insurance and are willing to put themselves in the firing line of a legal system that can be both arbitrary and capricious? Because that’s what you see

The problem is that money buys lawyers, and you need those to get justice. If the other side spends more, you are likely to lose.

If you assume that programmers’ skills follows a bell curve, the typical output will not be better than the average. And that leads directly into your third conclusion: average programmers just do not put in the effort. That’s literally p

One look no further than Vietnam for how the government learned to use intranational xenophobia to manipulate different slices of the public into identifying as separate groups that could then be played off of each other. Since then, there

Yup. After almost 20 years, I have had enough of their crap. All of my new machines are getting Debian. Can’t wait until I am free of Ubuntu.

Yeah, people don’t consider the possibility of a AI naming itself Marvin deciding to end it all.

Good thing for Hoka that the world keeps producing fresh batches of old people. They’ll do fine.

I have a farm with dozens of culverts. I never appreciated them until I moved here and had to maintain and replace some of my own. Turns out those simple plastic tubes can cost a thousand dollars or more, and that is before you get to the

FWIW, a robot that fires a weapon independently is considered an automatic weapon, and the ATF will want to have a word. Have at it, but don’t let anyone know!

This doesn’t reek of profiteering at all… oh, wait.

I don’t know why anyone gives Trump credit for things like this. He (like all elected officials for the past few decades) is a figurehead and has been manipulated by careerists at every step, who themselves are beholden to the lobbyists th

And how many people can it be credited for saving from self harm? Probably countless more than it has harmed, if I had to bet.

Building a product that depends on a Google product seems like folly at this point. They are notoriously unreliable about keeping products alive. I hope you don’t get burned.

Sheep farmer here. You are right to be suspicious. Healthy sheep poo does indeed look like a little pile of loose pebbles. However it is not uncommon for something to cause their stool to turn into a lump or patty. The pebbles can cluste

Even if you can trust them don’t, you cannot be sure you will trust them tomorrow. And even if you trust Apple, do you trust the government will not abuse this access? Forever into the future?

Given how much people tend to get distracted by their phones, I am surprised most workplaces do not have a phone ban.

People are fucking liars. Everyone, everywhere, always. I want to record every conversation surreptitiously, because that’s the only way to catch them. The reason we can’t is because our politicians and legislators are the biggest liars of

I believe the same is true in other states. Good luck convincing a DA to bring charges against any of these corporations.

If the blog is publicly published, so the author should be unmasked. Identification schemes would be fine if there were never abused, but every single instance of them has been abused in the past. There is zero reason to believe it will it
