How can you conclude they’re “wrong”?

You can’t say LLMs are missing the thing that causes consciousness, because we don’t know what that is.

Way too much scroll jacking for me to be honest, probably the worst site I’ve seen of their team, but still for government site not bad

Government. About 25% of my job. No day to day mainframe development, but we do need to update some logic for new policies and regulations.

There’s not much maintenance work. There are very few bugs, as the core applications have been running for decades, most come up with interactions to external services.

Any major development projects are only in service of lower overall COBOL development time, like transitioning some business logic to database updates.

And there is a decommission plan for the mainframe, so plenty of work helping that team.

There was no illegal content on kiwi farms. Even then, I’d say taking down a single page by request is understandable. However, they surrendered to the mob and chose to stop archiving the entire site. This was to censor any criticism of the people involved, but as a result, we lost all of the other information on the rest of the site as well. It’s clear this organization cannot handle pressure, and is relying on people treating it kindly.

You’re still only holding yourself accountable, which is harder for some than others. If you don’t have friends to study with, maybe some internet strangers could be a motivational alternative.

If you haven’t read about them, you might find evolutionary approaches to depression interesting.

For me personally, these models offer much more explanatory power. We don’t have to always view depression as a mental illness.

It’s not “fair play” to equate your assumptions and personal conspiracies to thousands of documented cases of state sponsored IP theft.

They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

A fine example of why you don’t just get to make up the probability of something when you don’t know the actual probability.

I’d say anecdotally that this is true, though maybe not for ddos behavior; it certainly makes sense to attack when less people are at the office
