> If any of the parties got any support from Russia directly, they would be arrested. Have they been arrested? If not, then whatever you've been told about them being involved with Russia is bullshit.

You're taking "innocent until proven guilty" too literally. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence.

Thanks for sharing. As a test I looked up a random thread summarized on hexane.cc. Found it on goebbelmail and the AI summary turned out to be accurate too.

I guess the fact that Russia also has this info explains why Trump seems so fond of Putin.

> Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man.

This is misleading since the article doesn't elaborate on such transactions, it talks about money allegedly coming from MBZ and MBS to Kushner. Still an interesting article though.

> Some malware allows a hacker to turn a victim’s phone into a microphone and video camera, turn the phone on or off, and pull and add files. The Dutch solution did not provide that level of access. Instead, when Kushner used the phone, they could see his screen.

As the saying goes: if you can read it, so can they.

Perhaps it has a hallucinated PHP that never had those bugs.

> You don't really want any sort of randomness in your terminal commands.

Maybe I do, if by "randomness" you also mean the ability to handle unexpected usecases. Imagine running something like:

$ ps "which processes are slowing my PC down??"

It's quite a lesson in unintended consequences: trying to bring about regime change in Iran may end up achieving exactly that in Saudi Arabia instead.

I'm honestly struggling to see what the crusades have to do with this discussion, mind helping me out?

I'm convinced that many right wingers pretend to support Israel while being secretly delighted to see the country heading deeper into trouble. It serves as a convenient disguise for their antisemitism.

That's very simple: stop destabilizing the Middle East.

Obviously LLMs are, and will always be harder to "prove" correct than a compiler. However it's the correctness of the resulting software that matters, right? Coincidentally, LLMs can also help a lot with automated testing and static verification, so maybe the resulting SW won't be more bug-ridden than before LLMs were a thing.

The preference in most industries has always been towards producing more code with some bugs rather than less code that's nearly flawless. Given that, I'm pretty confident that soon I'll not even read code anymore and become a tester (and/or req engineer) instead.

Sure but that applies to traditional software too, including compilers.
