Because their overseers don't have access to ChatGPT logs, would be my guess.

Hegseth successfully forced Anthropic to compromise their integrity because he's a fascist who doesn't respect the rule of law. It really is that simple.

And we don't have one. Or a Hitler. No matter how badly some people scream so.

I have no idea how you got there when I explicitly said "Trumpistas". If I meant Reaganites, I would have said that.

The fascist clownshow still wears that skinsuit, though, and needling them about it makes other Republicans uncomfortable, so I consider it useful.

Trump is basically a 1980s Democrat

Right, I can vividly remember the horror of Geraldine Ferarro shipping all those poor souls to gulags after establishing her own network of paramilitary brownshirts.

I keep waiting for Trumpistas to honestly respond to the scattershot nationalization of the economy under Trump.

You'd think these staunch anti-socialists would have a thing or two to say about it.

Who am I kidding, we all know exactly why they have nothing to say.

Instead of "Software Engineer I", call them 365 Copilot, like everything else. Everyone will be even more confused and maybe they won't notice you're not hiring.

Don't forget Curtis Mathes. Remember when they had their own high end stores?

Probably not for long. You may as well buy that no-name TV made in Vietnam now, because name brands have ceased to mean anything in this space. Just about everyone followed RCA and GE and Philco, who all stopped making sets in the 80's, and made all their TV money licensing their names to cheap Asian third parties. There hasn't been a real RCA TV since 1986.

Uh, it's both, and crime too.

Housing got expensive because California become like New York City: A place where the young want to be because its "the center of it all", which creates luxury pricing conditions for everything, not just housing. As packed as LA and the Bay Area have become, you're only going to get more apartments by seizing single family homes by eminent domain and tearing them down. That's not America, and even in California, that'll get you a fucking riot. Go on, try it and see.

You'd be closing the circle, then. Musk founded PayPal as "X.com" in 1999. He's still the single largest shareholder. So it wouldn't shock anyone.

Bullshit. You already have that in cities. People have a variety of choices. Every big city in the US has both bus and light rail systems with very few exceptions (Cincinnati, for one). EVERY city of medium size on up has a bus system. What you really want is to force your post title on people: no cars at all. Your whole aim has nothing to do with "choice".

This is going to age like a 90s cybercafe.

If they're right about how pervasive this crap will be, this is like a carpenter calling themselves a "Saw User". If they're wrong, it is like calling themselves a "Fax Machine Specialist".

If you build a dangerous theme park and I buy it from you, I take responsibility when kids get mangled.

And PE is absolutely a terrible model for any software with a security aspect. They will always strip maintenance to the bone and PE backwater shops don't exactly have the best and brightest banging on their doors anyway.

After we were bought by a massive firm, one of the (many) things that bugged me was losing control of my vendors. Instead of making our own deals, now I tell a centralized procurement department what I need. It still causes problems and bugs me, but one thing they do is evaluate vendor capabilities. And they really don't like PE-owned software, for exactly this sort of reason. SolarWinds kicked them in the nuts on that one and they're not eager for a repeat.

This isn't a fluffy hippy saying "I don't like breakers and takers", this is a Dow 50 CTO saying "PE's business model is not compatible with security-critical software".

I'm not talking about Joe Random's laptop, I'm talking about systems involved in commerce that are exposed to attack. You want at least 60 bits of entropy right now; if you're monitoring competently you'll notice the attack well before there's significant risk of success. Better not to expose an access path at all, of course, but sometimes it can't be avoided.

Diceware or whatever is fine, I guess, but in our environment I don't care about typability. End user passwords only have to be entered once a week or so. Access to accounts with elevated privileges is not an everyday thing here, and is gated.

But hey, do what you want, I don't manage your machines.

So that's the WSJ article Zuckerbook's press shop purchased.

Nice and bland with the thumb pretty heavily on the "make him not look predatory" side.

You could also read slightly less obsequious reporting elsewhere.
