Glad you enjoyed FarCry, I worked as a prog on a bunch of them

If society is so fucked, you fantasise about dropping out and breaking it

uh, it's a fucking videogame bro. it's fun to play because it's fun to do things you generally are not allowed or able to experience in real life - even if it's a very distance simulation of it - be it steal sports cars and drive them off the top of an office building, or jump down a warp pipe and stomp on some squids' heads

it's one of the same principal reasons people watch movies or tv - it's different than your normal routine and produces emotional responses, which is a thing humans seek out

"expect an LLM itself to implement any actually reliable security mechanisms"

I don't think you understood his comment at all, but it's okay, when it comes to LLM, you're just raging against the machine. It's cool.

gweihir's kind of an idiot, but I do recomment not starting comments with "I'm no expert" followed by the words "but I know .."

It's really not a good way of communicating.

Kinda sounds like humans, really. I don't want to make a direct comparison, but the last X years of history is an entire network of adhoc - okay maybe not 'excessively complex' but it'd be weird to describe humans that way - poorly integrated collection of interconnected social/state/military systems (paperwork or otherwise) with fragmented security and accountability.

Look, yes, it's scary and dumb but the people who are like "this could be fixed if only they did A or B or listened to me" are people who view the world through a lens that is reductively simple.

All major shifts/progress/changes in technology and communication have resulted in new kinds of damage. The medium is the message indeed.

The NY Times review made it sound fascinating. I do love fiction that doesn't spell anything out, and it sure sounds like that's the case with The End of Everything. I really wanna check it out.

It's really not that fun to live life seeking joy in being a small person.

I have no idea what the "EDS crowd" might be, but musk lies constantly, especially including ways that should be getting more scrutiny from the SEC. Which I'm sure will be as soon as the clowns get cleared out.

This is not even approaching a coherent rebuttal to my factual post.

Are you being disingenuous or do you really not know that (a) is an ex-post-facto interpertation to add some sanity to the originally proposed hysterical demand? Misrepresenting facts like this is just as bad as what magats have been doing for the last decade.

Oh well then I guess if there's no perfect solution we should just give up.

Or was this an attempt for you to look like a very smart boy?

To be fair Israelis don't rape little kids, they just blow them up. I suppose that's slightly more civilized.

Yeah exactly. I think any guess as to whether AI is truly inextricable from their search product would be ill informed - I'm willing to believe it is and it isn't, but Google may get turned down (or their bluff called) by enough schools such that a sizable number of kids grow up with the muscle memory of typing in or configuring their own browsers to a different search engine.

Google models are quite effective at plumbing and managing GCP. At this point I really don't hand write much terraform or search around in the panel for things. You just use their ai chatbot and it find what you need, or copilot in VSCode or simialr to create or modify terraform. I don't think this is enough of a beneit/positive use case to even put a dent in the bill for making these slop bots, but it's something that actually makes my day easier so I can worry about architecture and design rather than the mechanics of some cloud service.

"Meanwhile even questioning if the earth is flat will have you downmodded to (-1) Troll."

What you might as well have said.
