Seriously, it's totally incompetent.

The Meta[stasize] has infected the courts.

... that you can buy a judge that determines the course of your company.

Privacy Rapists only second to Meta[stasize].

But how many of the episode downloaders are bots (like the voices in the podcasts)?

Pretty sure this is all inflated in preparation for some future IPO. We'll heard about a Theranos-like scandal in the near future.

More like "Wildcat banking backed by techno-babble".

Agreed - Slashdot's "programmers" should come out of the 90s and learn to code already.

Same solution above for "

Correct, but there's a way around the above problem: hold down the 'apostrophe' key until you get a choice, and select the 'standard' one (plain looking ASCII one, for me it's the right-most) to use something that won't translate into that funky crap.

LOL - Apple hires its own PR firm to make claims it was right.

True, but with many popular OSS projects, that "itch" becomes a permanent rash (constant demands for features/fixes, unpaid) that drive developers to burnout.

So then there's really only a few choices:
1. close the source, or also use a less permissive license that perhaps requires paid contract for commercial use etc.
2. large companies whose products depend on those projects help fund it, or,
3. dev burns out, leaving the project in limbo (or a bunch of proprietary forks) making it less popular/supported.

What's tempting here is finding some 9.x-level vulnerability in some Google product, create a CVE, publish it and, in the same vein as Google, do full disclosure within 90 hours and see how Google likes them apples.

You mean much of the world's population doesn't want their privacy raped by privacy rapist Sam Altman? What a surprise!

Disbar them then - they're not doing their fucking job properly, so why should they get called "lawyers/attorneys" then?

And if they do want to be a lawyer/attorney again, then I guess they'll have to re-enroll, study, and take the bar exam again. Without using any A.I.

Imagine if a plumber relied on AI to fix your massive water leak. Would you seriously pay for that?!?

Same as Meta[stasize] employees.
