To which field? Math? Not even close. Data theft? absolutely.

If the mathematicians ever used ChatGPT to talk about math, then that is the source of the results. LLMs, by definition, cannot usefully contribute to anything that requires more than rearranging existing data. Rearranging existing data is their only function.

My job requires us to use Teams for our remote meetings, and it is good in some ways and complete shit in others. The meeting quality is fine, but it can't even go into full screen video.
We use Jabber for other remote meetings, and it has a full screen option. I've used Jitsi for other personal meetings, and it goes into full screen just fine.

I hated Teams at first, because I was used to Jabber. Now I am still not at all happy with Teams, but I hate it less because I've learned were most things are. It is NOT an intuitive program AT ALL, but I've learned how to use what I need. They will get used to Element.

Yes, there is no such thing as a "rogue" AI. These are programs that were intentionally pointed at targets. They are more advanced script kiddies, and are otherwise no different from traditional hackers. They are borderline terrorists since their objective is to bring about political change through fear.

OO delivers very well if you know how to use it. If you don't know how to use it, then you will naturally get yourself into a situation you can't get out of, and therefore think the language doesn't work.

If OOP increases project costs, then you are absolutely using it wrong.

KDE is still awesome, despite it lacking a decent file manager. Konqueror used to be the best file manager I ever used, but then some moron decided to neuter it in favor of the massively worse Dolphin.

Kubuntu hasn't gone anywhere.

It's been a long slide downward, but AI will accelerate the need for exohertz computers to render a Mandelbrot set in less than a week.

You demonstrated in a sentence and a half that you don't have the slightest clue how object-oriented programming works.

If it helps, that ability was lost thousands of years ago, in just about every culture on Earth.

Everything was largely fine until Feminism. You can trace every single step of this disease back to its Feminist roots.

The only unemployment harm caused by AI will be inflicted by so-called "leaders" who fire people because they don't understand the limits of the technology.

As was I. However, my High School wasn't teaching much of anything I wanted to learn. And where what I wanted to learn intersected with what the school was teaching, I was either already far more advanced than the teachers, or my dad's Navy transfers landed me in a new school district that was stricter than the one I left. That meant that I never progressed, and squeaked by High School with a 1.0 (after a kind English teacher rounded up).

When I got into College, and a stable location, things were much better. I got caught up, and after a more extended than normal college curriculum, I graduated with a 3.2 overall and a 3.8 in my major (thanks for nothing, COBOL class).

I only took most of the classes I took in College because I had to take them. I couldn't have cared less for almost all the General Ed. classes, and I cored dumped them all after getting the credits.

That would be a first. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out why.

These state-level, massive privacy-invading age verification laws (including the subject of this article) proliferated under Biden (that doesn't really matter, but you imply that it does). All of these stupid Federal laws were bipartisan rights violations, from top to bottom. Both parties are dead set on destroying America, so blaming one over the other is ignoring the real problem -- they both want absolute control over us all.

Wishmaster is the movie. And X-Files did a more family-friendly episode.

Yes, and many boffins died to bring us that information.
