He's not right. Should Tesco also rent space offices, in case the company they rent office space from, suddenly breach the contract they have? You do understand how absurd that is, right? The same applies here. They have bought a license and "rent" support for said license, had a contract that Broadcom is now breaching. It's obvious that they couldn't or shouldn't have bought licenses for a different software that they didn't need or want, in such a case that the company they are dealing with, breaches their contract. It would be way too expesive and throwing money out the window. Our company, a tiny company, spend hundreds of thousands on MSSQL licenses. Doubling that cost by using another provider and doubling the workload for creating databases to fit that other format, and having duplicate code/applications to talk to those databases, is completely absurd. It's completely normal to chose a platform and stick to it, because not doing so i asinine.

Not really. It's like saying a company is negligent if they rent an office space and pay rent, have a contract that states they are allowed to stay there for X amount of years, and suddenly their landlord throws them out of the building (for no particular reason). Would you consider it negligent if the company didn't also rent office space in a completely different building that they left empty, just in case? That would be completely absurd, right? Of course it is.

Exactly this! It's like trusting your friend when they tell you about the latest MLM they just bought into, when they say that THIS MLM isn't a scam!

Your prompt is imprecise though. A shape file, means exactly that one shp-file. What you are describing is a shapefile format, which doesn't need four files, but three - namely shp, shx and dbf. It may not have changed anything, as ChatGPT isn't made for this purpose at all. It's like using a fork to chop down a tree. It's a common misconception though, that LLMs are intelligent somehow, and are made to solve these kind of tasks but they aren't.

The AI doesn't care, because that's not what it's designed to do. The "AI" only look at how words are strung together in the wast data set it has been trained on, and then gives an answer based upon that. It doesn't "know" what's right or wrong, what's credible or not. It only knows that "Company A has this number" based upon what's inside the data set. So the problem here must be that the data set has been "infected" with false information. I don't know how that "infection" happened, but it could be malicious intent from some party or pure random chance.

Funny how humans also are kinda buggy, too. Just like you shouldn't trust AI, you shouldn't blindly follow what another human tells you. It's almost like you need to know how to filter what's good or bad information - if the information is given by a computer or a human, isn't really that different.

Sure, some well off people are well off, because they don't throw money away when they can chose not to.

Tell that to my biological clock that is constantly wonky. Regurlarly I'm lucky to get 2-4 hours of sleep during workday nights, until I get so tired that I crash completely during weekends and have to sleep, wake, sleep, wake for like 12 hours, to feel somewhat rested. These shifts throws me off even more, so I'm basically down to 20-30% efficency at work, for weeks after the shift in both ends.

The word you are looking for is: autocannibalism. It's about time really, the industry has been waving their weapons for decades with their lawsuits, I'm quite happy to see them bleed on their own terms. You reap what you sow.

Damn right! They've tried to have their cake and eat it too for decades and now that it's FINALLY biting them in the ass, they are crying about it? Well, cry me a fucking river.

Just like the TSA approved physical locks for luggage, which is just like a backdoor - backdoors in software is a bad idea, Apple or not. Those physical locks could have well designed locks, but those TSA bypasses could be opened with little to no effort, especially when you could find the schematics for the keys and locks online. Backdoors WILL be found by criminals, it's just a question of time when it's in the wild.

No, no, they're just resting ...

Looking at the big Silicon Valley SoMe companies, this is pretty obvious. It's obvious which way they lean and that they are likely to do what they can to silence differing views. They are not even TRYING to hide it either.

I agree on most of your points, but 2FA does not help against phishing.

You are wrong of course. YouTube, aka Google, do have a choice. They can respond with, yes, we will take this down, as soon as a court order forces us to, because of a judgement made in a court of law. They CHOOSE not to that, because it's the easy way for them, and that it only hurts small time creators, who have no way to dispute or recourse against these huge cooperations. They don't have to, they chose to solve it this way.
