Nah, he's more like one of those unintentionally funny movies. Sure, it's really bad, but it's so incredibly bad that you just can't look away.

see, here nobody accepts my belief system, they have moded both of my comments as "troll", yet I never troll here, I always say what I mean when it comes to tech, politics and economics. To mode my comments as "troll" means to declare that I do not believe and practice what I say or maybe that I am trying to start some sort of a riot. The former assumes that I am not serious, the latter assumes that everyone reading these comments camnot engage in civilized discourse, it is disgusting really, that people deny others their intentions or agency.

That thing is a partially built wreck that cannot compete with X11 on possibilities.

It is called "sane and solid engineering" and "not falling for any mindless hype". I guess you lack experience with both of these.

There are a number of problems with LLM-type AI being rushed in this fast. It can take jobs where the occasional massive screw-up does not matter much. Callcenters are probably one of those. The second one is that there are still not enough real applications that would generate profit and the number of failures is rising, while the number of successes is not. Hence this thing has gotten way too large and basically must collapse and the only question is when. Also, many are in denial and think they have a success, when really, they have a failure.

This could, for example, lead to a scenario where a lot of the workforce gets replaced (10% would be a lot) and then LLMs go away or become massively more expensive because the flood of investor money has run dry. Another one is LLMs finally find enough useful use-cases to justify the expenses of running and maintaining them, but the mistakes they make eliminate all profits by expensive lawsuits being won. And some more like that.

Yep, that is part of the money-laundering. The only reason ransomware payments went up dramatically is that with crapto you could finally launder large amounts of money. Before they were laughably low, like the $200 demand a person I know got. On that you cannot grow a larger criminal enterprise.

More like "dark times"...

Why would I have a prediction? Stupid actions have the most random effects. That is one reason they are stupid.

I currently have a student thesis running on that question. Results so far are that AI does not find issues above toy level reliably and not basically not at all on CVE level. Fine for a non-network connected prototype, a disaster for production code. At the same time, AI provides a ton of help for attackers that they did not have before.

any amount of government, all of it makes me sick to my stomach, that is all I have to say on the topic.

Correct, government shouldn't be running services, this is up to the private individuals to satisfy needs at an agreed price. Years ago here I said that at some point in the 21st century we will see collapse of the government structures, we are observing it now. The next logical step is to have all services, no matter what they are to be done privately if needed. This is what I am rooting for, I am hoping to see it in this life time.

Mostly rsilvergun and pals. They very badly want the price tag placement job, even though it's boring, repetitive work that nobody who works at the stores wants to do (speaking from past experience.) But this is also because they don't actually work/can't hold a job, mainly because nobody wants to hire or work with whiny entitled douchebags who only know how to complain.

fuck ruzzia, fuck all ruzzians and triple fuck everyone doing business with the. Hopefully their scourge of s country collapses and breaks into small pieces and everyone there gets ass cancer of the 5th degree and dies a horrible death.

Who would have thought...

This has been going on since crapto became big enough and its likely a main reason crapto is still around? Crime-support in the from of tax evasion, crime financing and money-laundering was always a major application scenario for crapto. Obviously, it also serves as a scam vessel by "value" manipulation (see Musk and Trump, for examples doing that).
