Not a trick, that's exactly what I wrote: surely, such civilization would have everything to sustain the basic needs of its people;

If there are too many people, that means birth control

Basic needs does not includes entertainments either :)

No: he seems to think that profit shall not be more important that human life

I kind of agree with him: probably, a civilization deemed to be called "advanced" would have everything in place to sustain the basic needs of its members: that would be the baseline of everything

This reminds me of a funny experience at work

They linked some internal llm with all the confluence documentation sets

My product owner tried to find information about our product, as a regular user would, so feel the experience from a user's perspective

It was a failure: only random, generic answers were received

Then, he retried, specifically citing our main confluence pages: it was a success

Conclusion: for the users that already know were is the documentation, the tool is helpful. Reading the page would be also helpful.

Conclusion (reworded): if you know where is the treasure, then the magic gold-detector will work;

These companies are burnings billions each year to train new models for .. nothing ? Out of pure stupidness ? There probably is a reason

There are no "free models", you know ?

There are model that some people are paying for and choose to let you use gratis because that brings them value at the moment (eg: it hurts the competition);

Once/when the war is over, nobody will keep paying billions per year pro bono;

Because nobody would think of doing such evil thing, because nobody would support such thing

The registry operator for .com has all the privileges (regarding certificate generation) over all .com domains

As such, DANE would not add more issue here;

DNSSEC is easy to deploy (of course, you need to know your work, which is rarely the case). Legacy-first mindset is not really productive;

That's is correct, but on the other hand, incorrect: as a .com registry, I can:

  - fake the CAA records
  - fake the DCV records
  - make any CA sign any certificates
People would not even notice because, if a given website is commonly signed by LE, I can trick LE into signing a new certificate for me. The transparency logs would just show that LE signed a certificate, as usual. Again: registries have already all the power in the world (it is a good thing: not the current issue :) )
