> There should be an influx of purchases right? In general, I appreciate this rare and thoughtful comment.

Let's ask: Which nations are the best in cybersecurity?

France, China, USA, Israel is what comes to my mind. I'm not sure if there's any other country with highly advanced cyber units. Usually Israel is the one with the most advanced defense technologies.

Worst thing that happened to humanity is the birth of Anduril thanks to Meta buying Occulus.. making that one slightly chipped person go think: "What to do with my Occulus exit.. hmm killing people isn't efficient, let me fix that."

I agree.

Weak argument and strawman. It's not users. It's OpenAI the company producing the tools roaming wild and hacking around recklessly to gather every free and unfree information.

Literally they break every law that you can break and have not been penalized billions to pay fines to foreign governments, local companies and lawsuits are overdue. US Prosecution allowed criminal activity for OpenAI and Anthrophic despite these being very serious crimes.

Microsoft had to pay billions for abusing their power and market positions to dominate Windows Desktops with their own applications such as Internet Explorer, not giving contenders a chance to be discovered. While OpenAI/Anthrophic and now Google with Gemini produce a series of crimes so far unheard of at scale.

Kevin Mitnick had much harder punishment for comparatively less crimes and less damages to infrastructure and security of systems. Is the legal system broken?

Levent Alpöge 'additionally' proved OpenAI steals your findings & IP and plays dirty!

Ironically he proved two major findings in Navier Strokes and that unethical American companies violate laws, steal your breakthrough findings & IP and then threaten you if you dare to challenge them.

This is making the status-quo so bad for any of us working on serious capacity. My client's don't trust ChatGPT/Claude anymore and prefer on-premises and OSS models or even custom trained models.

Nothing unites the public behind restrictions like a good dose of fear. The "for the children" angle is a master key for regulation—always sold as protection from the big bad wolf.

"Trust us, we're here to protect you." Sure we are. /s

It's only a matter of time before open-source gets banned in the US under that same paternalistic security blanket. /s

The government or OpenAI and Anthrophic?

Because if you mean the Government, I think they frankly just care whoever is paying them to make an executive order or worse a law paid by corporations to not only block, but ideally also ANHILIATE ANY POTENTIAL COMPETITION.

It's the ultimatum against the small guys. Sold as "Anti-China", when in reality it's only purpose is total dependency to corporations by law.

Sorry, I don't understand this rule, would someone kindly explain?

I own lastname.name and use it for email only like this: [email protected]

I always thought as owner of lastname.name, I'm the only one able to add subdomain.lastname.name. Is this wrong??

1) Can anyone "buy" scam.lastname.name without my authorization on .name??

2) Can anyone owning not.lastname.name then steal my emails going to: firstname@*.lastname.name or even [email protected]??

BUT: If someone ONLY bought not.lastname.name and doesn't own lastname.name, they'll get terminated. Would that be 'good' as it would stop 1) and 2) ??

I'm really concerned. My family is using [email protected] as the personal email, I'm hosting and paying for since many years.

Howto use it? sorry for the noob question.

I tried `uv --preview-features content-addressed-cache` and I get an error:

`uv --preview-features content-addressed-cache error: 'uv' requires a subcommand but one was not provided`

Serious question: Do you suffer internally from too much slop being submitted? How do you counter that?

Context:

If you want or not, many engineers will eventually end up sending ai slop to your PR or maybe even skip and trigger CI/CD.

Many company owners, OSS maintainers and projects suffer from slop-code being submitted in high-frequency.

I'm not sure if this is the right direction, but it's certainly momentarily helpful. I think the right direction would be to enable the model itself do dynamic program analysis, deterministically and dynamically via runtime-inference.

btw. your comment is grayed out, not sure what it means. However, thanks for sharing, I'll look into it.

Will just help EU/ASIA to fill that gap

Happened to me with ChatGPT and Gemini too often, that a harmless change in my own picture is marked as harmful content (just changed the tie color). And the AI refuses and future edit.
