I just read back the /. story when they announced this bot, and pretty much every comment predicted exactly this to happen. How bizarre

Would that include the Lockerbie crash, the IRA attacks,or covid just to name a few, or is somebody being a little self-obsessed here?

Did we not see some issues with an audio hardware product that was dependent on some website to function and then the company decided to kill the website and all your hardware was bricked? Are we doing this again now?

And I would agree with that strategy, I'm just saying that, as someone working in enterprises and dealing with the compliancy bullshit all day long, that it is not very likely scenario.

I think that would be a GDPR violation in Europe. These things have been famous for getting billion-dollar fines. So unless they are really evil and like your data so much to risk such a fine, my experience with big corp is that being compliant is generally the rule

I read it first time as "usually wrong", which kinda sums up my experience with both microsoft and chatGPT :)

No... it doesnt. You are assuming that these molecules can only be made by a living organism. It is the opposite way: the are an external requirement for life. This is because they may be created without life. But their existence does not mean there is life, it just means that it could be there.

We have seen this 50 years ago: random chemistry can create surprisingly complex molecules.
But also: the situation on that asteroid was not different from the time before first life: there was nothing there, and by accidental combination of available molecules life all of a sudden "happened". Any other explanation would require a deity.

So I would be surprised if the building blocks for life were *not* find everywhere

Yes lets send more objects in LEO so we are sure no more telescopes need to be built on the planet (enjoy some white stripes). Also, how about that issue with satellite burn-up that remains in the outer layers of the atmosphere?

I distinctly remember using a historic version of Opera that had adds in the corner, which was actually intrusive. I then switched to a paid version which was without adds.

Consider that Bing is on by default on Edge which is also default, and considering there is at least 1 Billion installs. Then consider that the vast majority of users is not quite literate in how a computer works (as long as they can do their work, mail and browsing). If you can get 90% of those non-techy people to find a way to actively make Bing *not* their search engine, Bing must be doing a really bad job

Only if you think that VPNs are exclusively used for web browsing. There are many other applications where security is the dominant factor

Its not clean, its just that the pollution (nuclear waste) is not immediate. Also, in risk assessment, the occurrence may be low, but the impact is very high. So the risk is still high. Ask the people in Fukushima how much they like nuclear.

Fully agree, thanks

I worked in protein design for a few years as a project scientists. Thinking that just reading literature text will help you is grossly naive. Most literature is wrong (but we dont know which ones) and the rest is only comprehensible when properly interpreting the manuscripts figures.

I looked at all these ai generated protein folds, and for the simple cases these were correct. However most proteins come in complexes and there the prediction were not above random noise

So good luck salesforce, you will come up with a buch of leads and then burn your money during validation tests when you find out its a leeeeetle more complex than your computer nerds make you believe
