I honestly think he knew she was a spy and did it anyway.

I tried asking Fable 5 to identify the fungus in a picture I uploaded of one of my wife's plants. Apparently it thought I was trying to build a bioweapon. Opus answered it (yellow dog vomit fungus). Now I can spread the spores and take over the world!

Just a personal anecdote but I have not hit any more thresholds or limits since switching to the MAX plan and so far, it's been worth it. But I do wonder how long even this will last...

I forgot all about lite.cnn.com. Thanks for that reminder.

All of us hitting that site before it's ready are going right into that other group of files...

You know the split is inevitable. Same as it ever was...

Whether that's Linux on your personal desktop and Windows on your work machine...

Oh and you built that desktop yourself, didn't you? But you can't even open the one at work or it's a violation.

GrapheneOS on your personal phone, and iOS on your work phone...

When this AI bubble crashes, we'll all be flooded with graphics cards no one else will want and all kinds of cool things will be built (are being built).

If you can stick it out a little longer you'll be fine. The tech you want to tinker with will be there.

So we're at the point that finding hardcoded admin passwords is no big deal.

I don't think we will ever understand what you saw if we continue to cling to our view of what reality actually is. I think it's unlikely whatever it is originated in some distant galaxy far far away (aliens, little-green men, spacecraft, etc). I think it's something fundamental and it's here on this planet and I don't think that sits well with people. Like many things, we have to look within rather than what's out there.

That's frightening. And we want these things driving our cars?

Do you think WSJ is doing this deliberately? Leaving out the part about how it's actually humans behind it. I've heard of this a long time ago, but I see this is a new story. Probably a hundred generations of monkeys have learned this behavior and they don't need any training or handling at this point!

I think like they said, it's people. The JWST has "17 different modes" (yeah, I wish I knew what that meant exactly), but it sounds complicated. For all our tech, the bottom line is it requires humans to calibrate this thing and keep it that way (or one of 17 different ways) depending on the science that needs done.

I totally see this happening. Doesn't sound sarcastic at all.

This is pretty much where we are. I wish it weren't so. But Wall Street has their claws firmly around BTC et al. They will never let go. There's no room for any kind of "innovation". They will suck retail dry and then move on.

They work for a government that can help with the threats, bribery and social engineering required to get access to employees of exchanges.
