Using AI is training AI to replace you. If you can be replaced with AI, you will be, and should be.

If you don't use AI, your peers will be, and you will be replaced by AI anyway.

Good Luck

Lying to yourself is the biggest danger for trying to stay Anonymous. With enough patterns to recognize, the idea that one can hide is a delusional take.

The only way to win, is to run EVERYTHING you post through an AI that changes the tone and words used in all your online activity. But even then that may itself be a lie.

It's Not Enough to "Caution Against".

That language is TOO PASSIVE.

The correct and appropriate phrase is "HELL NO" and start tossing out 1st, 4th, 5th amendment claims IN COURT.

I read that and was simultaneously laughing and angry. I'd call it a load of horseshit, but that would be insulting to horseshit.

What a bunch of windbaggery. Meaningless, feckless corporate speak.

We know. They know we know. We know they know we know. They don't care.

Nothing says "fuck you" like a "well worded" press release. It was only missing the AI EM-DASH.

Climate is notoriously complex set of wild interactions that are unknown at best. Predictions of climate crisis have always been wildly off, because the goal is to scare people into action.

But the boy who cried wolf is a cautionary tale that climate people failed to learn.

It is a feature, not a bug!

But hey, lets claim incompetence and not malice even though they are indistinguishable at this point.

We're now charging PREMIUM for our new ProAudiophile(tm) MUD interface. Guaranteed or your money back!

You forgot the obligatory "Get Off My Lawn!" .. so here it is.

And yes, BUTTONS and DIALS are best for drivers.

The alternative is voice and steering wheel controls, but I don't like either as much as dials and actual buttons.

"Progress!!!!"

They are training their replacement.

Just a wild ass guess though, but knowing efficiencies are always driven from the top, this is the primary likelihood.

It is interesting how Copyright provisions change from law that has to be followed to suggestion when they conflict with large corporations innovating.
Somehow the dialog shifts away from compliance towards competitive pressure vs China.

My thought on the matter: We should amend our laws to just allow all LLM training on any works: By everyone, so large corporations and individuals are on equal footing.

However, 75% of any revenue from LLM output should go to owners of works used, Until the model owner can prove that a retail purchase price was paid for at least 1 copy of the work in connection with their LLM training For each work in their dataset. And after that; 25% Of the royalties on every LLM output,; and 25% of the Copyright interest on every LLM output must be assigned to works which contributed to that output; and 75% is to be assigned to a human who individually prompted the LLM for a specific output. The copyright on a model output cannot be held or assigned by the owner of an Algorithm, computational model, or who fine tuned a model, or provided generic "system prompts" which resulted in that output.

1) the USA is bigger than all of EU geographically. Seattle to Miami is about the same distance as London to Tel Aviv Israel.
2) Population Density. The US has huge swaths that are less dense. Between LA and SF, is basically farmland with some cities here and there. The HSR is being built right in that corredor and this is the BEST we have so far ... no trains.
3) Unions. The whole project was largely created as a make work program for Unions at prevailing wage. Which feeds the (D) party coffers exclusively.
4) Democrats. Democrats run the state. They can't blame R for anything. But they do anyways.

We have "high speed rail". They are called Airplanes. For the cost of the HSR project, California could buy every man/woman/child at least 10 Round Trip flights between any two CA airports. This does not include the cost of the train tickets, which are largely expected to exceed plane tickets for the same trip.

Unfortunately, trains have some sort of emotional capture with a group of people who don't care about such things like costs, because they are covered by taxpayers.

I can almost guarantee that the cost of this will spiral out of control and take way longer to complete than they are telling you right now.

CA High Speed Rail, was supposed to be done by now, it doesn't have a single working section, and has already ballooned its expenses. But here we are, throwing good money after bad, instead of cutting it off.

I am not familiar with LightBurn, but your best bet would likely be to tweak Wine for specific compatibility with LightBurn, or get the developer of LightBurn to tweak LightBurn's source code for specific compatibility with Wine.. WMI Support should be completely unnecessary to talk to external hardware. A Windows application only needs WMI support to query management information of your local operating system or computer... It is actually very suspicious that a desktop application is touching WMI, as it is for system management only.

They don't have comprehensive MS-level DCOM compatibility which also limits WMI, and still neither is robust.

It is highly doubtful Wine is ever getting full support for either without embedding actual Microsoft DLLs.

Also, Windows USB drivers / USB support doesn't work with Wine either. If you are interfacing with hardware within Wine emulation -- then your options are essentially limited to classical serial ports.

They don't.. They're blocking companies from recruiting - not people from moving. Taiwan doesn't block the taiwanese from going wherever. Mainland China does by requiring permits for travel inside their own country. You are not free to travel wherever you want in China, just because you are Chinese and have a household in China, and the taiwanese need another special permit to travel and move around there.

Taiwan largely encourages the taiwanese to live/work in China while strictly restricting who can come in from mainland China to Taiwan.
Their tech workers are an exception apparently. You are valuable for national security reasons, so it would seem that it is a crime for people who work for another company to be suspected of trying to recruit.

it wasn't politics as you said, it was a legal status. The politics was fought in DC, by elected representatives. A lot of stupid laws in place, compliance isn't politics, it is survival.
