They should have just made IT products easy to use and opinionated in the first place. Application developers having to even think about lower level OSI stuff like virtual nics is ridiculous. Cloud infrastructure today is like the olden days where you had to execute your sound blaster driver in a terminal before you booted up wolfenstien3D. Its only a matter of time before somebody remembers that resource allocation is initialization and all of that magic IT stuff in the cloud just melts away.

I read it and even looked at the pictures. Unfortunately, you can ask any LLM to tell you the first line of The Bible, or the 10th line of Count of Monte Cristo and both chatgpt and copilot (after prompting away the safety features) can reliably regurgitate the exact text. The way it stores and decodes the data doesn't change the fact that the data is in there and it is possible to get it out.

Javascript is pretty good at doing image mouseovers.

A can of coke has about half a megajoule of energy in it. Scientists have just barely surpassed a 12 pack of soda.

Instead of using JavaScript, I would use a tool that suits the job at hand.

I want this. Here's why. I don't want to spend hours researching new products. I'd rather just give an AI a $5 a week allowance that it can save up and spend. Similar to buying a loot crate type subscription box, but the contents of the box are algorithmically generated rather than curated by a real person.

Unfortunately, that's probably what we will get at first. The costs of returning things will be distributed among all customers until AI is "good enough", and then they will kick the people who return too many things off the platform. Good luck buying things without an AI once all the regular shopping websites are gone.

Doubt it includes rural solid fuel burning for heat, which is 44% of rural energy consumption in China.

The inmate isn't the one defrauded. They are not the victim. In the USA, people don't own their names and other personal identifiers.

I would not assume this is AI related. Just look at the revenue streams of the company.

According to this revenue breakdown , windows and windows server are not growing revenue, and there are A LOT of people working on those products. I would guess most of the layoffs are from windows. Think about the team who was responsible for trying to put the windows 8 metro UI on xbox one. Or what about the people that used to maintain windows solitaire. There's a lot to trim in the windows team.

The problem in the analogy is that "identity theft" is a farce invented by banks to push the burden of bog-standard fraud onto regular people. Imagine if the tables were turned and banks were on the hook to pay out 419 scams made in their names. Its ridiculous.

Na, there was just some nuance I didn't communicate clearly. I actually don't really care "how" they work, just that the end result is a hodge podge of token streams cribbed from the training data. My bad.

Similar to how the homeless guy I met at the library in Toronto generalized magazine advertisements using the library copy machine and a pair of scissors.

Oh really? How do they work?

Again, why do you want this? Why would you not rather let the black men out of prison. Your take is a boot licking fascist one, except the boot is on a different foot. You can't fight fascism by setting up a police state. It sounds like your version of social justice is not actually justice. Which is why you have to qualify it with an adjective. If you want to send fascists to prison, just lock yourself in a cage.
