Show us how you know essentially nothing about the Ford Pinto without telling us that you know essentially nothing about the Ford Pinto.

On the plus side, at least we still have enough readers on this site to have at least one person who meets that criteria. I guess that's something.

Is ChatGPT Changing How You're Writing?

No, it's not changing how I write. I don't actually like the long-winded prose these AI agents spit out. I typically end up completely rewriting it, on the rare occasions that I use it at all.

However I do share the OP's affection for the Oxford comma.

Talk about trying to close the barn doors after the horse has bolted! You're only waiting until there are a gillion datacenters going up to talk? Oh wait, no, it's not that at all because fuck the environment, right?

"As the models become more powerful, they could begin to act against our interests and we could lose control,"

See, it's all about losing the certainty that people like him have been afforded in life. Frankly, I hope they lose total control of the situation and are forced to shut everything down, only to be faced with the dire consequences of their actions. Fuck all the people that don't give a fuck until it could possibly impact them because they are the same assholes who want tax breaks and think empathy is a weakness.

Comment Re:Libra's suck (Score 1) 54

I've been using Freestyle Libres (2, 3, 3 plus) for several years now. I have fewer connection issues with Libre than I used to have with the Dexcomm. I also find the Libre's adhesive to be superior to that of the Dexcomm - with the latter, I always had to use overpatches to keep them attached..

One thing Dexcomm does have over the Libre is it can be calibrated against a fingerstick. Also, I think right now the Dexcomm is the only one that will directly work with (certain brands of) an insulin pump. I'm not insulin-dependent, so that doesn't impact me.

"If one comes loose it is also useless and has to be replaced" is true of any CGMS, not just the Libre. They rely on a tiny tube that gets inserted just below the skin - it's not practical to re-insert that if it gets pulled out. But I can't say that's been a significant problem for me, at least.

Even if the pay packages increased exponentially, there simply aren't enough people in the field.

Significant increases in pay will draw more people to join the field. Will it take time? Yes but it is how you get more people. However, if it were truly exponential then you would get people coming from other countries. It can be done, if you have the money.
