I assume avoiding this is the entire reason OpenAI is testing exactly that.

In Europe, it’s closer to $400, which is downright insulting for what is essentially a cheap smartphone without a screen or battery.

The 1% just copied all available data without consequence. Yet, Quad9 gets sued and loses.

As long as you don’t say Artificial Intelligence instead of Super Intelligence, you’re all good.

> but a lot of it is legitimately terrible language[1] and API design

Unlike well-thought-out languages like JavaScript, of course.

What's the saying? A programming language is either bad, or no one uses it. Discussions about flavors of bad in well-established programming languages are a waste of time.

Yes, the potential connection is the fact that we now live in the age of AI.

> Everybody who actively watches the topic already has the option to shut down their instances.

In theory. In practice, many can't just decide to shut down their service for a few hours.

Maybe that’s because you’ve only worked with WordPress with tons of unpatched plugins.

Every programming language has security vulnerabilities. PHP doesn’t have any more than others.

I think it works fairly well. Sure, a few players waste a few minutes to hours on the game, but once it has 10 negative reviews that all say it's AI slop, no one will bother to buy it anymore and Steam can rank it accordingly.

Makes me wonder why an EU bank is keeping data outside the EU (from my understanding, only the London data center is down)?

Yep. Into software that can't be trusted:

Granted, that's the benefit of paper votes: You can always count them again.

Living in Estonia, I have a hard time deciding how I feel about this voting system.

Currently, with people trusting the government, this system is great. I can just cast my vote online, like I do everything else here, and I can be reasonably sure that my vote is counted thanks to the aforementioned trust in the system.

But I really fear the day that trust erodes.

On the other hand, though, once the trust is gone, I think it doesn’t really matter whether it’s an analog or digital count. People won’t trust the system anyways.

Then again, there’s a lot of nuances and different levels of trust, which is the reason why I don’t know what the right answer is.

You mean prompt their AI to build it for them?

But the cloud is becoming unaffordable as well…
