Comment In est in lab meat (Score 2) 24

Ultimately, when we eventually get to good tasting, cheap and rapid lab grown meat we won't need to flatten cows just to eat them.

...and we will need less things involving managing their lives and transporting them.

It's not going to make money for years but it is in the public interest. Exactly the sort of project a government should back.

Comment Once upon a time they fixed PSUs (Score 1) 150

These days almost no one does that because PSUs have become much more reliable and cheap so you just buy a new one.

Eventually AI code will break irreparably and even AI might not be able to fix it...BUT restoring from backup, getting the last version or whatever you might have on GitHub etc will mean you could rebuild with AI easily.

Better yet. If your AI code jammed after 3-5 years the new AI might be able to one shot create the whole thing with a details specification/prompt of that the thing is meant to do.

Programming might be more about talking to AI and reviewing it's work than actually learning complicated text editor keyboard shortcuts.

Teams of AI agents are busy making shit better as we speak. Horse riders need to learn to drive cars. Quickly.

The best option is to trust AI to a multinational corporation thaat has the primary motivation of ever greater profits.

Because corporate greed will "trickle down" to the plebs in the form of minor life improvement that they should be thankful for.

It's true the government often has a poor reputation running things...but ultimately it has been running national services for decades. So it can be done. It's not perfect but can we really trust a handful of companies with all our AI queries, automation, reaponsobility etc?

We haven't heard from you in a while. As you know, the best President we have ever had, President Trump, is fighting for our nation's survival right now. Shortly after the Board of Peace meeting Iran forced us to attack it because it was 1-2 weeks away from developing thermonuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons you know what those are? So we had to attack. We had to. So the president and the administration is very busy, very busy working hard for you.

We, in his righteously glorious administration are inundated with extremist leftwing agitators trying to prepetuate this Epstein with hunt so it's really difficult to do what we need because of these people but it doesn't matterthey will not stop us because we are working hard (except Kirsti) to support you in this time of need!

This administration has collected many hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs, more than any other nation in the world combined!!!! To make our economy the best it ever was, ever. The Dow is over 50,000!!! Which should really tell you something about how great our president is making our country.

You are no doubt very proud of all of president Trump's achievements but it would have been nice if you wrote sometimes... it's OK you are busy too sometimes we knwo but you have forgotten to write to your president to thank him but it's OK,. it's fine because it doesn't matter. your president loves you, he does. He just wants to hear from you more often and if you want to thank him that's OK.

Regrettably because taxes are a little complicated (as you know) we could not completely track how the tariffs imposed at the port of entry are going to be collected in such a way that would be traceable and collectable on an individual tax payer basis and refundable to your accounts.

Because the SUPPLY CHAIN RISK company Anthropic did not provide it's AI to president Trump our Biden computer systems could not process the information; and because of Obama and Biden the computer systems can only collect tax, they cannot refund them.

It's a disgrace what they have done to our country it really is. The way they left our tax system was justawful. Countries were laughing at us. Countries like Iran were laughing at us you know. They really were. They are not laughing now though. Except on the computer the tax system depends on it's really complicated.

We could have solved it with AI but Anthropic refused to let their AI help you get your tax refunds which is very un-American of them. It's wrong and they are a terrible company, terrible comapny...but we're not going to talk about that. So because of that president Trump has deemed them a SUPPLY CHAIN RISK and you shouldn't buy their products.

We are working hard to keep your country safe and your taxes secure. Thank you for being the best Trump supporting tax payer you can be. We love you, we love you so much. You are the best.

You will get your tariff refunds, billions of dollars, we collected billions really we did and as soon as we can change all that old computer garbage Obama and Biden have left us your refunds will be delivered to you personally with a thank you note made of gold from the president.

They wanted Anthropic to help with Thier "department of war" AI. So obviously had grave supply chain concerns.

You want your new war AI to be developed by a supplier you have security concerns about...oh, wait no.

Ohhh right it's bully logic. They didn't get what they wanted so they gotta put the smackdown. -This is so surprising!

Trump and Hegseth are a safe and reasonable duo. Not at all a risk to national security with their bribes, security leaks etc.

Welcome to soviet America where government blackmail you.

This is why you cannot trust these technologies with your children.

Companies want kids to have "privacy" so they can develop a connection with young future customers (and studying their data to sell and target ads) and they really do not want parents seeing or having the ability to know anything.

A parent with a vulnerable child MUST have the support needed from companies like Google to be able to protect their child.

Of course Google knows that giving unconditional parental access will be risky and maybe hurt adoption so they'd rather protect the money and if one person or ten end up dying they'll settle it. Finally it pays them to do so.

Never ever givre your kids unfettered access to these things without a long period (years) of oversight and education to know that your kids are thinking about these technologies and services in a reasonable manner and that those services are not leading them down a deep rabbit hole.

You'd never think that a technology by a company like Google would feed delusions and dangerous behaviour but remember, AI currently doesn't think or feel or know reality. It just feeds the likeliest next bit of the sentence based on human datasets that can be controversial garbage.

Algorithms by intent or as a by-product feed addictive behaviour. As long as you're willing to consume the content they will feed you more and it can lead to some very dark things.

Please treat these technologies, social media and AI as a good that might contain peanuts and your kid having a peanut allergy.

So many companies *think* they have DR and think that the DR solution they have is for almost anything.

AWS likely had a good DR solution but it might not cover the scenario of "shit explodes everywhere".

So many companies get DR wrong and they only find out when they need it: High Availability is not DR. Backups are not DR. Replication is not DR.

DR has scenarios. Those scenarios your DR solution is supposed to cover might not be covered unless DR is regularly tested fully end to end, documented, trained for and proven it cannot be said to work at all.

Ever thought about the cost benefit analysis of your DR solution? - A fight Club quote comes to mind: "Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one"

The next time your InfoSec professional starts asking about the office robot vacuum cleaners and other smart devices don't think it's because they're bored.

Let's face it, most businesses have no idea how vulnerable they are until they have to explain how their failing was not criminally negligent to a regulator and pay fines.

Comment Europe is such a drag (Score 5, Insightful) 98

Did you know that in the EU you cannot "restructure" your company by firing 50+ years old only to hire 30 year olds to replace them?? It's shocking.

I keep dealing with US manager that just don't understand employment law or rights. They don't understand that they cannot just fire someone they hired because they can't really do what they themselves have hired a candidate for in France.

They get so confused when they want to make people redundant in Germany but the person they want to make redundant also has to agree or they cannot proceed.

Honestly I'm all for innovation and entrepreneurship and corporate profits but you mustn't be allowed to shit on staff. They are not serfs, they are not plebs, they are human. The fact the US has such a ruthless style of employment is also the reason why some people need a job and a "side hustle" and work mad hours to afford crackers.

Fuck your greedy, love and let die BS excuses around "innovation" by treating people like cattle cause "ugh sorry all 900 of you on the zoom call are fired, cause margins, good luck"

Maybe some people love stress because job security is minimal but if more Americans come to work in Europe I have a feeling they'd prefer it. Heck even us Brits look at the time off, benefits and protective labour laws in EU states with envy!
