If ANYONE can finance good security, it's a bank. Among banks, central banks are in better positions than other banks to properly fund security. At this point, they should be working on finalizing their own extremely well-tested OS build. Seriously, their code should be rock-solid and "old" instead of chasing the latest computing fad. Also, if they are using close-source stuff like Windows then they aren't even pretending to be serious about security.

If this statement proves anything then it is that for decades they have neglected their responsibility as a bank to invest in good security.

Never going to happen because there is too much money involved.

I'll tell you exactly how this ends: a private settlement for an undisclosed amount of money.

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.

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.

While I mostly agree, the one part I may disagree with is with documentation. It's not uncommon that documentation can be scarce for certain things which means that if someone can generate, review, and publish documentation for part of the project, I see that as a way of helping users that would otherwise have very little, just poor documentation, or in some cases no documentation at all.

A drought of skilled workers is further slowing them down...

Given that we live in a "market-driven" society, the correct conclusion is that companies are refusing to properly compensate skilled workers. As for the cause, the only rational conclusion is that there is insufficient competition in the energy distribution market. To encourage competition, the correct move would be to start breaking up large energy distribution companies like PG&E.
