not really and not true, back in the day ettercap automated arp cache poisoning a LAN which lets you sniff more than 1 target since they map the gateway with the attackers mac address, switches might protect against this now but even in the early 2000's it was very effective (not that I would ever do it)

Could be done on switched networks too through arp spoofing

Predictably, pushback takes familiar forms. This will slow us down really means “I don’t want to be pinned down.” We need to trust each other, not sign contracts is code for “I prefer commitments I can’t be held to.” This feels like we’re inviting conflict is a fear of exposing leadership weaknesses. We can’t document everything often means “I don’t want a paper trail.” And leaders need room to maneuver is a desire to pivot without owning the cost of disruption.

This hits the nail on the head, I've heard all those excuses almost verbatim from upper management when proposing changes and I've countered all those objections with the answers given in the paragraph that follows. The current C-Suite thinks RTO is going to fix all the company problems and I'm out of ideas on how to effect meaningful change. My team is fantastic but interfacing with other directors/execs is a nightmare.

Do any of you that have gone through this have any advice, short of finding a new job?

> sometimes this "chain of thought" ends up being misleading; Claude sometimes makes up plausible-sounding steps to get where it wants to go. From a reliability perspective, the problem is that Claude’s "faked" reasoning can be very convincing.

If you ask the LLM to explain how it got the answer the response it gives you won't necessarily be the steps it used to figure out the answer.

> The initial funding will be $10 billion, followed by the remaining $30 billion by the end of 2025, the person said. But the round comes with a caveat. SoftBank said in an updated disclosure on Monday that its total investment could be slashed to as low as $20 billion if OpenAI doesn’t restructure into a for-profit entity by Dec. 31.

They might not even get the full $40 billion

> Or perhaps they're trying to make some important customers happy by showing movement on areas the customers care about

Or make important investors happy, they need to justify the latest $40 billion round
