I have account number 13,802 here, which I've never been able to persuade the admins to recover for me. Notice how there's no activity on it. That's because when I created it and saw that user number come up I thought "huh - no point in carrying on here then, how could anyone possible read or make sense of anything with nearly fourteen thousand people on it?".

Since then, the chorus on various sites has become rather larger than merely fourteen thousand. The background noise is incredible. I'm amazed any signal gets through at all vs the constant noise to be honest.

Spirits walk among us.

It should change slightly, I think. It should now include questions to filter out idiots who believe what this Anthropic loon just stated.

Yeah, let's ressurect a 30-year-old flame war!

So far as I know, the problem has not yet been detected on other planets or spaceships.

I'm guessing that Martians don't run Windows on their computing machines.

Though I'm not sure heavier fines or criminal charges is really going to fix this, it's too easy for executives to rationalize away any risks.

The real fix is more funding for researchers (university and government) so they have the resources to investigate these things on their own. We shouldn't have to rely on companies policing themselves.

They'll probably postpone is US share prices start dropping.

No browser is going to bring back the good old days.

Yeah, like that matters.

These days it's more economical to sacrifice incels.

A brown nose?

Yeah, and Trump is promising to wrap up the war immediately after the upcoming elections.

I've always been a big fan of space exploration, but for a country that can't afford its lifestyle a moon base doesn't sound very important priority.

(Or maybe I should have said "isn't willing to pay for" its lifestyle.)

My cranky post was about a Samsung. I didn't mention the brand because I assumed their all that way.
