I can’t, and I don’t.

It used to be true that no one got fired for buying IBM. Now, I would laugh at any organization that chooses IBM.

Times can change.

Violence is the only reason we have a civilization in the first place. How do you think we deal with people that do not play by its rules? Hint: we don’t just use our words.

That’s only if truth is valued more than lies. Based on the current status quo, that no longer seems to be a given.

Where is the profitability of truth in politics? In government? In media? Truth has fallen by the wayside.

The courts only care about the law, not truth or justice. Those are literally words that came out of a sitting federal circuit court judge.

People are being shown every day that truth can be whatever you want it to be. Until there are actual consequences for telling lies, nothing will change, and truth will continue to be increasingly irrelevant.

The justice system failed to prosecute a murderer. I somehow doubt the public has forgotten about it. And I am fairly sure some have not forgiven them for that failure.

I would not be surprised if justice now gets served vigilante style.

Are you familiar with guilt by association?

These people have made a choice to work at this organization. They could quit and find other work. Nobody is forcing them to serve the empire.

No one on this list is completely innocent.

Some contributors were already dead by the time the decision would have come to a head. Getting them to sign an agreement would have been challenging.

Legally reverse engineering a system is a lot harder than throwing an AI at it, at least if you think you might be called into court over it.

Because the administration has allowed the entire AI industry to attach its tendrils to every part of the economy. The size of the investment (and commiserate risk) in the bet that is AI makes it impossible for the government to course correct without having a potentially catastrophic negative impact. No one can afford for the music to stop.

I wasn’t really joking. Malicious compliance is a thing.

It is a shame that Debian has invited such behavior by this move.

Obciously the solution is to fight fire with fire. Spin up your own LLM and have it respond to every single point. Exhaustively. Have it ask semi-reasonable questions that must be answered by the humans.

I wager the resulting usage would drive the system costs up to the point that it would be dissembled and decommissioned. That only happens if the people behind it feel the cost personally.

> I'm actually curious if the plan is to have it take out a bunch of loans, strip the thing of assets, and dump it.

It’s the American Way!

So, they stole $31k from the children.

I am teaching my Ai to write good code, just as I have juniors at a dozen orgs in the past. I am teaching to be as good as me.

Your might be too young, but I remember the Graat Outsourcing. Engineering teams were replaced wholesale with overseas counterparts. The original engineers literally trained their own replacements.

Those companies have for the most part continued to thrive, despite the resulting enshitification of their products and services.

History says this time will be no different.

Nope, the quality is good. Any errors it makes are being caught in automated reviews. If you don’t have good review and testing processes, yeah, stuff will slip through. The same is true for humans. I would not put juniors above your cited error rate, so I would rather skip the squish.
