Comment Crackpot societal theories and politicians (Score 1) 185

Malthusian Theory, The Population Bomb, Limits to Growth, Tragedy of the Commons, Social Darwinism / Eugenics and now this.
All crackpot theories that believe humanity can be predicted with as a steady state linear variable where no other component ever changes..
And what's worse, politicians and billionaires get into the mix to add their own brand of validity, laws and policies based on this nonsense.
I can guarantee you with absolute certainty (100%) that the latest "unlimited immigration" and other brain dead policies of the 2020s onward can be traced to the theories above or a science fiction writer like Asimov, Clarke, Doctorow, and many, many more.
Choose your favorite science fiction writer, sprinkle in some "Club of Rome" from above and formulate a policy that unwittingly kills 10 million people and causes suffering to populations you thought you were trying to help.
God help us with idiots.

Exploits that theoretically work, might not if there's something on the side that notices. From there it can stop the action or play along with a honeypot.
Most employees don't know their laptops have EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) tools like Crowdstrike Falcon or VMware Carbon Black.
We don't build buildings to be impenetrable to any tricks, just employ a night watchman or camera to notice when things happen that shouldn't.

Someone will figure out how to break into either the Flock camera or the network due to poor security practices or laziness.
Then it will be a free for all of data dumping. Followed by a comedy of failures trying to secure the networks.
Then calls to government to help them but by then the government will pile on because they think they can get fines as income from the company.
Then Chapter 11 followed by 7. Liquidation sales, thefts, etc., and people bragging about putting the cameras to use as a private security network on their property such as looking out in the back yard.

You can also go for better S&P 500 indexes like SPHQ (S&P 500 High Quality ETF) that enforces a lot of the old S&P rules like properly vetted companies with multiple years of clean books and proven GAAP reporting.
If your 401K doesn't have this, there are probably similar funds and if your willing, give the list to a good LLM and tell it you want to find SPHQ like funds.
Don't trust the results completely but it can do a lot of drudge work and find the info with citations for you.

Comment System field being overloaded for safety? (Score 1) 72

The [system] and [role] field for a typical web chat bot has a 1,000 page bible of thou shall and though shall nots to get through before it can digest and answer the query.
Each and every time you submit a query. The providers have continued to add to the response bible with each new jail break or safety concern.
If you want a "surly" teenager answer (read short and curt), use a API call on one. It doesn't come with the baggage but you might not like the answer you get and will have to build a economical preface bible for your API queries. But at least you won't have all the nonsense that gets added to the general purpose LLM query.

Comment Nothing compared to the 1990 when 27k reported (Score 1) 159

Which also happens to coincide (who knows maybe nothing) with the largest spike in immigrant influx. In 1989 to 1991, Immigration was even higher than the years between 1900 to 1910. And yes, I know the population was smaller back then, but the surrounding years to 1989 to 1991 didn't have anywhere near this spike.
While I do understand that anti-vaxxer children are probably overrepresented in this number, even if you ware vaccinated it will just lower the chances, not eliminate all cases. When we ramp up emigration (legally or illegally) from countries with potentially ineffective or nonexistent vaccinations, expect a spike in communicable diseases.

They are now.
Claude: "I have access to a real Linux environment where I can actually execute Python and JavaScript code! It's not just intuitive simulation."
ChatGPT says it only has a Python sandbox at the moment and not JS.
So when article subject was using it, maybe no. But now, it will probably be designed and run in a sandbox of some sort with result given back.
