I don't think you can put it down to Microsoft not caring about security so much as it's a hard job and getting harder with every line of bloat Microsoft adds.
If Bill Gates really gets that much of a hard-on about his insecure code, then why is it still called Microsoft?
Exactly. I've never heard of this person or this film.
Have you heard of Ocean's Eleven? He directed Ocean's Eleven. And a few dozen other films, one of which you're probably seen, unless you don't like going to movies.
I enjoyed it at the time, and Object Pascal was a pretty reasonable language, but outside of maintaining legacy apps,
I'm guessing it's a lot of legacy apps. My friend worked with PowerBuilder heavily in the 1990s doing a lot of custom work for niche vertical markets, like municipal water utility billing applications and industrial monitoring systems. I think a lot of that stuff is still floating around, and, similar to mainframe applications, organizations don't want to pay to overhaul the whole thing in Java/Rust/Python/whatever is fashionable at the moment.
They need to have a moral/foundations layer which does the same thing, perhaps even trained on its own very insular dataset that's been curated to meet objectives that can help it rank the value of different data.
It's all statistical connections between words. It's not a conceptual model. There is no understanding of morality, ethics, or basic reason or logic. The only way to fix it is to bolt stuff on after training.
Also, you need an enormous dataset to get enough useful weighting for the model to work. For example, they didn't use chat logs because they wanted to, but because they needed the training data to get the models to function. They are still looking for more. You could prune back sources, but the models will perform worse.
Firefox has an extension called Youtube Custom Speed. You can set arbitrary speeds from
Chrome does appear to have the same thing so it probably works on whatever browser you like.
In Pocket Casts, the app I use, there's a playback speed control that can go up to 5x. I usually listen to podcasts at about 3x speed, which feels right to me. I lose a little nuance for audio fiction, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
16x audio playback speeds are typical for screen readers for visually impaired users. Maybe your wife configured something like that, but they take practice to get used to. I only have some familiarity with those because I used to have a blind co-worker and had to support his setup.
The meta-Turing test counts a thing as intelligent if it seeks to devise and apply Turing tests to objects of its own creation. -- Lew Mammel, Jr.
