Teacher comes up with a question that AI will get wrong. Ask the students why it is wrong.

Ask them what prompt will result in this picture and show the picture.

Who's going to be able to scrounge up an extra 12KB of RAM in today's market?

Python 2 users were supported for more than a decade after 3 came out, and there was a LOT of migration tooling released. CIOs may not want to be forced to upgrade too often, but if they think upgrading once every 10 years is too much, then they need to quit and get into something more aligned with their expectations. Perhaps blacksmithing.

Ai does things we could not do before.

It can help us solve math problems better than most professional mathematicians. (high bar)
It can draw better than the average human. (low bar)
It can write better than the average human. (low bar)
It can write and perform music better than the average human (low bar)
It can do a google search and summarize the results better than the average human (low bar)
It can direct a phone call better than the standard automation. (low bar)
It can fool idiots by speaking English

Problems with it:
1) It does not understand truth, accuracy, or hierarchical authority.
2) It does not know how to learn on it's own. Instead it is designed to be taught by a human being.
3) It requires far more electricity and water per task than a human being does. Basically, a data center is the rough equivalent of a human town.

AI is not equipped to replace human beings in most jobs.

As far I know, it can be used to help expert mathematicians, hack computers, write personalized porn, and solve many of the very specialized math issues such as protein folding, looking for new medicines, etc.

when you just give your content to them. Github is owned by Microsoft. By migrating everything there, you've essentially just given it to them and now they don't have to bother scraping it.

It looks like if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Yeah, and their whole argument is irrational. $1500/$30 = 50 months. A four-year ROI isnâ(TM)t irrational. Whatâ(TM)s irrational is companies expecting to make back their costs in a year, and expecting that because their service sucks so much that people wonâ(TM)t stay past the promotional period.

Here's the problem, and why everyone resents this crap (your fellow IT folks most of all)...

Yeah, great, you're an Exchange admin and can send email "from" any random VP you want. And you have access to their recent document history so can "spice it up" by referencing actual projects we might really be assigned to. When your phishing tests are literally indistinguishable from legitimate emails, you're not "testing" anything, you're daring people to ignore legitimate work at risk of their continued employment.

If "my boss" sends me an email, which the headers show really came from his account, and asks me to take a look at a spreadsheet we worked on three days ago - You're not being clever, you're an asshole.

1) Comcast could have started moving to fiber a decade before the upstarts and qualified for the same subisidies.
2) Comcast has received 2.6B in subsidies since 1987.
3) Remind us again, how long as Biden been out of office now?

Tovarishch, your sons are dying, cold, alone, in a Ukranian ditch; just waiting for one of the many overhead drones to notice them and blow off their manhood while they bleed out. And for what? So the ex-KGB gangster in Moscow can fantasize about reuniting a mythical Historical Russian Empire that never existed and never will?

Go home to the family farm and enjoy a peaceful life. There's no glory for you in Ukraine.

I'm curious where exactly he gets that $1500 figure from. When Spectrum installed my fiber, it was half an hour's labor for a lineman, 150m of such crappy fiber I wouldn't use it as a patch cable inside my house, a 4-port 1Gbit EPON, a mid-range pre-compromised bandwidth-stealing router I threw back in the box the second the tech left (if I don't have the real admin password, it's not going on my network!). That's it. Even at massively inflated replacement prices for captive customers, that's $600 total at most (and realistically more like half that).

Pssst, Jason - You need to realize the fictional numbers you use to justify rate increases to state PUCs are just that, fiction; and your competitors are eating your lunch precisely because you don't understand the difference. One year of "subsidizing" the installation on a two year contract is still net profitable! But then, they say to never correct your enemy when they're making a mistake, and I could not be happier to have escaped Comcast's footprint years ago. You go right ahead and pretend everyone else in the market is selling at a loss. Meanwhile, they're doing just fine, I don't need to deal with Comcast, and you won't be missed.

You keep using that word in the narrow terms of a computer programmer who just finished a training course where they drilled in the technical meanings of "authorization" vs "authentication".

However, a news article for the general public is not constrained by that context. The dictionary says that "authorization" in general is permission to do something. If you prompt an AI to do one thing with your bank account, then you didn't give it permission to do something else entirely, even if it got the logon credentials to do so. It wasn't authorized by you to do the other thing.

Here's another example: It's wartime and you got drafted. Usually you're not allowed to kill people, but the government handed you a gun and you're now authorized to kill enemy soldiers. That doesn't mean that you can just shoot your comrade next to you in the trench. And you certainly can't make the claim "But I was authorized to shoot Corporal Smith. You gave me a gun, after all!"

Consider a human analogy: In many cases, people give financial advisors access to one or more of their accounts so that the advisor can make trades or other transactions for the benefit of their clients. However, if an advisor suddenly starts making transactions that do not benefit the clients or are contrary to their agreed instructions, then that activity is unauthorized, even if they have login credentials.

I now am dependent in part for my livelihood on paypal. Going to check my contact info there now.

The preliminary results that previously sent their stock soaring "only" showed a 49% reduction. 42% over a much larger population still ain't bad!

I'm honestly stumped why the market reacted as badly as it did to this news - That's still a 100% viable product, and it targets people desperate for any reduction in recurrence! Exactly 0 people will turn down 42% who would have been thrilled with 49%.
