Elon, Sam, Mark, Peter, et al... You are cordially invited to go fsck yourselves.

The magnitude of destruction you have wrought upon this industry, upon our livelihoods, and upon society as a whole, cannot be calculated, much less excused. You have stolen the corpus of human ingenuity and creativity from its creators without recompense, and now are trying to sell a provably shittier version of it back to us at a markup.

And, let's be honest, this is what you wanted to build -- a barely capable servant who will do your bidding, whatever it is, immediately, without question or compunction. It's extremely telling about your moral compasses that you studiously sat on your hands when your customers were creating graphic sexual imagery of celebrities over their vociferous objections; or impressionable young people (who needed help, not encouragement) were being driven to suicide by your chatbots; but "torturing" a memory block of neural net constants is somehow the bridge too far?

I repeat: Go fsck yourselves.

I agree, the real danger of this is that the documentation requirements will swiftly become so complex and verbose that only an AI can write them, and only an AI can read them. Humans will no longer even know what the effect of the documentation requirements is, they can only hope some of the remaining original purpose (keep the reactor safe) survives the AI rewrite.

I have a wildcard cert from LetsEncrypt, which I install on all the services on my home LAN. However, because it's a wildcard, LetsEncrypt insists that I prove domain ownership by updating some DNS TXT records. My DNS provider doesn't support automated updates to TXT records. So ACME won't work, so I have to do that bit by hand.

Next, I have to distribute the cert to a handful of local services, including pfSense, TrueNAS, Postfix, the Unifi Controller (extra annoying, because Java), Forgejo, and probably a couple others I've forgotten about. None of that is automated, either. It hasn't been so painful that I've bothered to write scripts for the process, so I get to do a little SSH dance every three months.

"Deploy your own!" Couple of issues there: 1) Everyone treats self-signed certs as suspicious, so they're inappropriate for Postfix TLS; 2) Every time I've tried that, Firefox and/or Chrome complain about some obscure feature not being what they expect. The latest headache had to do with OCSP stapling, which has to be turned on -- oh, whoops, now it has to be turned off... Bleah. LetsEncrypt certs Just Work, so I haven't revisited building my own CA.

Perhaps you should try using an LLM.

Or simply join some news groups / mailing lists.

Most modern coding LLMs can code from random Jira (inert your issue tracker) tickets, better or on par with a human.

I guess once long ago you learned how to use a compiler, it is time to learn how to use an LLM, or stay using a compiler.

Well, perhaps the parent was thinking about green houses :D

Processors, does not matter what kind: do not need/use cheap labour.

They need sophisticated factories and PhDs.

I am talking about optical processors.
The processor China uses to crank out a new LLM in a day.

Google it, it is not complicated.

No idea why you think Europe, or its politicians, are afraid about or are against the internet.

That does not make any sense.

It is exactly the same.

Just one technology lost and the other one won.

Similar to VHS versus .... well, don't remember how it was called.

I do not know much about the protocols of Gopher, but instead of HTML they used TeX/LaTeX.

Not sure about what you want to argue.

The processors will soon all be optical.

Anyway, *using* an LLM does not cost much.

So, I do not what your point is. I would assume that people/companies that spent the money to try that, know what they are doing.

Tim Berners-Lee invented hypertext while working at CERN.
Which has nothing to do with internet, but is a protocol and mark up language that runs

on top of the internet.

He invented the world wide web. And that is actually only a reinvention: as we had gopher already, and wide area information services (WAIS/WISE?)

The internet is DARPA and the follow ups: TCP/IP and the surrounding infra structure protocols like DNS.

But humans won't thrive when this ice age ends.
Most of them will perish.

Nope.
The artic stays the artic.
Much to short growth time to grow anything meaningful.
And: the soil there is not fertile at all. It is frozen swamps and moors.

To click where the troops should go, for everything else you use the keyboard.

Radiation hardening is only a extra thick extra layer of silicon on top of the chip.

Also keep in mind: the idea is to answer AI questions, not to train ANNs.
