Comment Fix was simple (Score 1) 15

Fix was simple, go into safe mode, run some dos commands to remove the update, boot up.

The problem was related to having to touch each server.
Running VMs, or servers with IPMI you could handle them remotely and quickly. if you have monitoring you know which servers got affected pretty quickly.
Took me an hour from recognizing the problem to fixing the few servers affected.
Luck and proper systems in place can reduce many outages.
I have to question those that took a long time, unless there are blockers in place like no remote hands, no IPMI, bad P&Ps, and/or software issues that arise from environments half going down.
Feels like a lot of problems should have been realized with this outage.

We went from services provided by bank tellers and ATMs to "oh, you want access to your money? You gotta pay!" to "Oh, this extra money we get from selling customers info to other companies! YAY!"

At the end, the only thing left will be for them to charge us money to keep our money, which will FINALLY give people pause.

Kind of, what they want is unfettered access to more of your data and information. "AI" is a ruse to get you to capitulate since its clear that they are siphoning your data in order to add to its collective.
Only thing that concerns me is the end goal here. They have clearly stolen data, and used it for their own profit, but I dont think that is the end game.

I agree that humans mimic LLMs with respect to probability judgements.

Because... and bear with me here.... humans developed the LLMs.

This is why "AI" will never develop to surpass humans. However, the way humans think, so will it.
This is why SciFi is so on point with its future predictions. Computers attempting to take over is possible, because we thought of it as a possibility and wrote it down.
It doesnt take much to logic this stuff out.

>Increases in automation are going to help identify the Wallys of the world and fire them.

That is what they said about computers, that is what they said about printing press, that is what they said about factories and robots.

They say this to keep the working persons income down, they say this to suppress the employee.

I would tell you to mind your history, but a bot is only told what to do. It doesnt think for itself.
