Crowdstrike and Solarwinds are still being used by nearly every fed govt agency today. It's amazing really that despite everything they still get to suck up our funds.

Idk seems pretty cheeky to me. One of the models spit this line out at me in the middle of discussing utility markets.

Here is the strategic pivot: The "Mullet" Go-To-Market Strategy. Business in the Front (Broad Funnel): ... Party in the Back (The Niche Wedge): ...

Interesting reading the two sides of HN where in this thread software development is dead as a career and tech companies especially will be shrinking massively because you no longer need as many QA, PMs, analysts, recruiters, etc

But contrast this to the visa thread such as the recent one on Microsoft and in there it’s all about who can bring the most bodies into their country wins. Talent is pure human not machine.

I’m not taking a side here but it’s clear that in most of these discussions fear is the driving factor. People are very worried about out what is going to happen to their jobs.

These threads seem more like therapy for a lot of folks to vent which is good but shows there isn’t space to be heard in real life.

> The hardware exists, the power supplies are light enough. The only part that’s lagging is the software and motion controls; the intelligence.

If that's all it is then shouldn't the mass produced robots that are posted on r/singularity and such places just be remote operated by people in low wage countries? Couldn't the Amazon package sorter robot just be a remote operated bot instead of paying US wages? Why aren't they selling them with a cheap operator subscription? This seems like a clear product direction if the robots were really capable today.

Where I grew up in the US it was not uncommon for people to intentionally only buy union made vehicles. Not sure how that works out now when things are built and assembled in a dozen factories but it used to be more simple and union workers supported other union workers. (this reads like the rantings of an old boomer, I'm not either I swear)

I've run out of fingers for the amount of people in my network that are now leading/head of AI xyz at their employers yet have little to no understanding of AI beyond asking ChatGPT simple questions.

With so much detailed analysis out there, now all models trained on the open web going forward will learn from these exploits and how to better cover their tracks to not get caught. The RL reward mechanisms of a bad actor should be interesting to see play out over the next 12 months as this gets baked into new models.

idk if this is off topic or not because its an ad playing on their channel but wow the non-skippable ad about 'clearing out stuck poop fast' from an ai doctor really added a lot of value to my life before the video rolled. this is what I get for not opening in a browser with ad block. is this what youtube looks like now without ads?

That 'something' is probably dealing with thousands of people all day long, many of whom don't follow basic instructions. It's crazy how many of you can't comprehend that their job continues on, dealing with people after you pass through. And they have to do this everyday knowing people like you look down on them for having that job.

> There's about 200 million active domains currently. That's about 66% of all businesses worldwide of which there are around 300 million. Around 100 to 150 million have active webpages

Where do you get stats on this info? Not refuting your claims but it's interesting data. I would've thought a wider gap in all biz to active websites since some countries run nearly all their biz on whatsapp/telegram/wechat.

He's also making it difficult/impossible for people without work visas to obtain auto loans which is destroying the used car market in latino communities and cities with large latino populations. Executive Order 14406 defends this with,

> Low-dollar cross-border funds transfers have been used to facilitate or commit terrorist financing, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, and other illegal activity.

They're banging the national security drum to make it unlivable here for some.
