We'll improve the security of all kind of systems. That is the solution and was always coming.

The number of zero days (which can be effectively used to attack critical systems) is limited.

With the pain of new tools on the attack side there will be tools on the defense as well.

Wow that is super expensive.

I usually charge at the super market (60KW) for 44ct / kwh which is not cheap but much more reasonable.

For comparision my employer offers charging at 23ct and my home price (from the grid) would be +-30 if I could get a charger there

Where I live (central Europe) I noticed that public fast chargers increased by a lot over the last two years in particular.

Is it the same in the UK?

Recently they started builing a truck charging facilty on the outskirts of town.

The thing is that doesn't even sound wrong and I don't think any native speaker would object to the article when used with a place of origin/belonging in a speech.

It emphasizes the statement if you ask me.

Only many years after learning of the speech I read online that it's allegedly "a gaffe".

An app (functional ear trainging) and then mostly trying to replay melodays of songs on my guitar

I thought the same for a long long time.

At least for me the solution was to grind ear training for a few weeks/ months 10 minutes a day.

I'll certainly never reach the heights of this skill but a bit of persistence to overcome lack of natural talent did propell me forward.

If it's the same mod from a few years back it's possible that they view this a nostalgic feeling.

There is also the possibility they don't keep up with modern AI development at all and then this looks like any old spam that will stop in a few days (as it did).

Now whether it is wise to keep an old page which such outdated behavior online is another question.

Handing out digging spots if you are the shovel manufacturer sounds reasonable.

It would open up a tertiary market for smaller companies to do that (maybe even sell into a different market).

Not every business venue needs to be a multi billion multi national and using some devices for a long time is better than burrying them all in a land fill.

Hyundai is doing that at least in the Ionic 5

That's also what trucks already do to eliminate dead angles and help the driver manoeuver in tight spaces

I get where it's coming from but I think it is also very funny if someone actually believes their claims (except as a CYA strategy)

The AI companies have already shown how little they care about other peoples intellectual property and they won't care about their customers either if it stands between them and the promises they made to their investors.

Open weights are certainly something that is very eagerly being adopted in some companies.

It's not even that expensive because even the 15€/month/employee bill for people who use AI very little can stack up.

Beside that though, many companies already have most if not all of their data in some cloud (Microsoft would be a prime example). Giving them a few extra bugs to get a (potentially) very useful tool is not out of the ordinary.

If you are under the impression that not going AI would threaten your business right now (which may very well be true for some companies) then there isn't really a choice even if you believe the vendors will steal everything eventually (which they totally will)

I strongly suspect most companies don't spend that much either.

Unlimited tokens aka unlimited cost is something that not every use case needs.
