I still can't get ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to write a decent story or do an engineering design beyond basic complexity. They're all improving, but they're best thought of as brain-storming aids rather than actual development tools.

"the proper solution is obviously to have a formal, controlled, actually viable work visa system for economic migrants"

Yes, we should definitely formalize and legalize our tampering with other countries to produce cheap labor we can abuse.

Wait, what?

My memories of college include feeling lucky if I had enough quarters to do laundry!

Bob? Is that Seymore's brother?

The only defense against a bad AI is a good AI. There has always been an arms race between the hackers and the security consultants; AI just accelerates the pace. Ultimately, we will have to rely on AI to defend us from AI. Better get to training those paranoia AIs, boys... Aren't we already at the point that we need to use an AI to detect AI-generated content?

Like, would you consider your girlfriend having 38% fewer hallucinations to be a big win? (I once had a girlfriend call me up while she was experiencing delirium tremens and describe to me how demons were raping her mom. I told her she was hallucinating. She insisted it was real, she could see it!)

That's not actually the flex you think it is...

:Roll Eyes: Would they kick their own babies out once they hit ten million?

They do not have to think about that because, their birthrate, like most Europeans is below replacement rate. 1.29 children per woman. To keep their population stable, they need immigrants and should accept them.

What this really comes down to, like all immigration debates, is racism. They don't like the color of the skin or the religion of the immigrants.

I get the fact that there was huge malfunction in the system that was supposed to limit each donor to less than 10 people.

I get the fact that there were inadequate/mistakes screenings.

But the real question is what description led it to be chosen over 200 times by the customers?

Hypothesis: Tall, handsome, doctor.
Null hypothesis: Kind, loving, honorable

Anyone willing to bet on the null?

l think this comment wins the thread.

The time has come for a European University CSE department group to reverse-engineer HDMI 2.1 and publish a compatible implementation on Github.

There's a solid history of this category of work going back 30 years.

They have certain legal protections for compatibility and public interest work.

This 1990's licensing model is antiquated and obsolete.

IEEE and ITU have abdicated their responsibility so sombody like Valve needs to do for transport spec what AV1 did for codecs and linux did for operating systems.

"A rising tide lifts all boats" is common among free marketeers and communists but opposed by fascists.

> Is there a huge difference between a criminal organization and a multinational corporation?

Yes, huge difference.

The common-law criminals running corporations get statutory protection from liability for the crimes they commit under corporate letterhead.

A regular mafia has individual liability.

Don't be mad because you didn't see it.

Also, don't call them "editors"

And their hair is amazing.
