Comment 2019 2022 (Score 2) 45

Given that "the district started using VMware [...] 2019," and Broadcam didn't announce it's intention to acquire VMware in 2022 your criticism

"Sounds like a dumb IT manager who is both begging for more money, and desperately trying to cover his own ass. Anyone with half a brain could see this coming a mile off.

demonstrates that you're a condescending prick that doesn't know wtf he's talking about

Comment Proof of Concept (Score 3, Informative) 87

There are a hundred places on the internet where you can find out how to make a Molotov cocktail. It isn't terribly hard.

You completely missed the point; it doesn't matter that the instructions for making a Molotov cocktail are available elsewhere. The article explains:

While NeuralTrust was developing its jailbreak designed to obtain instructions, and succeeding, on how to create a Molotov cocktail (a common test to prove a jailbreak)

I.e: The point was to demonstrate that the guardrails can be bypassed, which means that those same guardrails that are supposed to prevent the LLM from generating information that's more harmful than a Molotov cocktail, e.g. CSAM, could also be bypassed.

You might as well be arguing that an EICAR test file isn't a real virus, so it doesn't matter if a virus scanner failed to detect it

At this point it really does not matter the origin of COVID does it? What would it change?

What kind of question is this? If we want to prevent a similar outbreak from happening, of course we would want to know the origin of Covid.

What would it change?

If we understood the origin of Covid and whether it was preventable, you don't know what would change? The steps that could be taken to prevent this from happening again is what would change. Again, what kind of question IS this?

Comment "Might artificial intelligence steal its crown?" (Score 4, Insightful) 163

Yes, the technology that literally just makes stuff up is definitely what will ensure that spreadsheets contain accurate data.

Such snafus have not dented Excel's dominance. Might artificial intelligence (AI) steal its crown? With whizzy new tools powered by the technology promising to make data analysis easier, the familiar grid of numbers and calculations could soon feel outdated.

You literally can't trust the output of "A.I." to be correct. Ever

Comment Re:reasonably cost efficient (Score 2) 69

I'm unclear on why it needs to go 13,000 feet down. You would think a couple of thousand feet would be good enough to get you some boiling water.

Heat rises and due to the square-inverse function, they lose a LOT of it if they don't drill deep enough. A little back of the napkin math shows that their break-even point is somewhere between 4000 - 6000 feet. But once they get past 6K, they can start drilling WIDER (picture a reverse funnel) which mostly undoes the loss. They could probably stop at 10K, but I can see why they'd want an additional 3000ft as a "buffer"

Comment Re:Musk can't even get self-driving cars to work.. (Score 1) 251

I took a look at that article. The article pointed out the stupidity, the cost, the lack of accessibility, etc. But it didn't say that the cars actually failed at the self-driving, which is what you seem to be implying.

The fact that the cars all have paid drivers in them, instead of being self-driving, wasn't a tip-off to you that they failed at being able to self-drive?

Normal people figured out long ago that Elon Musk isn't a real-life Tony Stark, he's a real-life Lyle Lanley

Any article title that starts with the words "Elon Musk" should only contain variations of the words "worthless" and "fraud"
