RealID is so important to security, it can't be used to prove you are a U.S. citizen. So says DHS, the people administering the RealID program.

And should be treated as such.

No enterprise concerns if you can just tick a policy box.

And for home users, people who don't know what GPO is let alone have access to it? They're just screwed, aren't they?

There was no issue until Israel drug the U.S. by the nose into a war it can't win.

Remind everyone again who it is that keeps attacking its neighbors claiming "self defense" then whines it's the victim? Or who has been saying another country is "two weeks away" from nuclear weapons for the past 40 years?

It's not that. LLMs reproduce an output of consciousness, but they way they do so isn't fundamentally any different than a tape recorder or even a book. It's a deterministic process that we can fully reproduce by doing calculations on a piece of paper.

It's not that there's some "magic" in our brains, but there's obviously a very complex process at work that we don't understand. It's also true that the "neural networks" used to run LLMs have only the most superficial similarity to actual brains. Just because LLMs can produce similar reasoning it doesn't mean they're suddenly able to produce other second order effects.

Is it possible that LLMs reproduce this process? We can't authoritatively say no if we don't understand the process. But that's no different from saying a rock way also be conscious.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and Dawkins doesn't have any.

Nah, there's more than enough smoke to conclude that Altman's style rubs a lot of people the wrong way. Whether you think that's a problem or a virtue is another matter.

You had the opportunity and blew it. Here is what you should have used:

Microsoft pays its employees so well.

Just like all those other programmers people say deserve their rich salaries.

You can't go after the manufacturers because 1) they're outside of your jurisdiction,

If they sell a product in your state, they're under the state's jurisdiction. It's why states can ban products or require safety features from manufacturers who sell in those states.

2) their products are likely legal in half of the world (e.g. Asia/Africa).

So? You think car manufacturers don't have different models for different parts of the world?

Might I remind you that the Democrats held onto the Epstein files and refused to release any of them during a Presidential election

The Supreme Court ordered the records sealed until after the election. That was thanks to Trump's Supreme Court picks.

Might I also remind you the infamous wife of Bill Clinton the island hopper, ran her own email server that 'accidentally' fell into a vat of Bleachbit.

Which was investigated and found not to be illegal, just poor judgement. Just like Colin Powell had done. But let us not mention all the use of personal email to conduct official government business being done by the regime right now. Or the use of Signal which conveniently doesn't store information.

No one is believing Demoncrap lies anymore.

In your ranting you misspelled a word. The word you were looking for was Repedo. The ones who seemingly every day are in the news for diddling kids.

Early users testing the service have touted competitive perks, including 3% cash back on eligible purchases

That's about the same as merchant fees, meaning the transactions themselves are probably a loss leader once you factor in all the stuff like fraud and dispute resolution.

I'm guessing Musk sees the real value as the dataset of shopping behaviours. Either that or that cash back rate is going to plummet once the service gets established.

Not really, the tech companies have been doing this for years.

They hire a bunch of folks at high salaries, but not all of those work out, and managers hate laying folks off.

So they make big across-the-board cuts and now everybody from top to bottom is forced to make a bunch of tough decisions about who to cut.

You don't get rid of the worst 10% of your work force, but on average, the 10% you lose is less valuable than the 90% you keep.

And then you go hire some more.

No, they're arguing there's ways to use their software to commit an illegal act, which is true of literally anything.

I can't imagine anyone making the argument that using AI tools to rewrite code in another language removes the copyright.

Not exactly, because the amount of stearates that came off the gloves would be fairly random, so there's no way to apply a general correction. You might not even know what kind of gloves they used in the experiment!

That doesn't mean you throw out the results, but you maybe mark those results and say there was potential factor unaccounted for and the results needs to be replicated.

The gold-standard tasteful way to handle stuff like this is cast a friend of the original actor. An example is Jon Lovitz replacing Phil Hartman on Newsradio.

I agree they could possibly get away with AI since it's being driven by his cast mates, but I don't think they'd try it.
