You will be able to tell AI to create a new tune given some parameters. Then you can tell it to generate a podcast to talk about the tune. And not long after you can tell it to create agents to listen to the new tune and submit remarks to the podcast AI agents discussing the tune AI created. Just to close the loop, you will be able to tell it to create an AI agent music executive to promote the tune.

Speaking of the EPA, they now want to relax controls on forever chemical in our water supply and environment. That's some mighty find governing there, I wonder how much el Bunko got paid to tell the EPA to do that.

I prefer to think of it as Robert's Corrupt Enterprise. His wife runs a lawyer company which pitches cases to the Supreme Court, and makes a nice tidy profit on the endeavor. The rest of the Nazis on the Supreme Court are in on the action. Thomas has been bought and paid for by some billionaire. Alito never saw a junket he could reject. The other Nazis take their direction from the Federalist Society, dedicated to providing the U.S. with a dictator regime for the rest of its existence, which may not be very long given the National Debt.

As an aside, el Bunko's latest scam is to pull back his $10 Billion lawsuit against the IRS because some of his tax returns got outed. Now he's replaced it with a $1.8 Billion "settlement" with his own Justice Dept. to be paid into a fund he controls for paying off his supporters who claim the Biden Admin showed them wearing dainty pink panties. And that includes the Jan. 6 insurrectionists. He wants to use your tax money to pay for his thugs. And his personal wealth has increased about $6.8 Billion since he was elected to fuck up America the second time. Funny how he manages to do that will salary $300K.

Nah, not his FBI, his Geheime Staatspolizei.

At this point, there is probably nothing that can rescue either Microsoft or Linux from the hordes at the wall. Both are performance-first operating systems. There's nothing surprising or unusual about that; this is the dominant paradigm. Windows NT made at least some attempt in the other direction until version 4, but then they prioritized UI latency over memory security. LLMs apparently don't have to be able to think to recognize patterns which indicate vulnerabilities. If having closed source is even still a benefit in hiding failures, it won't be for long.

On top of that, the hardware isn't secure enough either and both are going to have to be addressed to reasonably secure our systems from this new threat. They were never really secure, humans could find the same vulnerabilities, but there weren't enough humans looking. There's lots of compute hours being spent looking.

This isn't limited to Windows and Linux, every vaguely common system has the same problem. None of them were built for security first, because such a system would cost more to operate and almost nobody has been demanding to pay more for less performance in security's name. But many have long predicted we'd get to the point where we start to spend our performance advancement budget on security because some development will necessitate it, and it seems like we might have arrived there now. There are and have been more secure systems, but the home PC is going to have to become one of them because otherwise we won't be able to use them for anything other than getting pwned.

That would make it easy if the legal system didn't make it hard.

That's a typically shit take, because both of these business guys have proven repeatedly that they are both hot garbage as human beings. It on brand for you to ignore that.

And unfortunately, it does. The corporate world has already satisfied all of the relevant if statements. It works to some extent if you are willing to accept massive failures — the industry has proven that over and over again by rewarding failures with sales, they will buy proven trash before paying for quality; they will accept "good enough for right now" and kick the can forever; they will rewrite entire products and discard years of both development and goodwill just to look like they're forward-looking to idiots, because nobody ever went broke assuming there'd be no shortage of them.

If you're willing to accept shit results because you have no pride then AI is good enough. And... *waves around vaguely* ...people should pay attention, because that's the dominant paradigm.

It's hard to prove that Microsoft cares less about security than other vendors, without a bunch of information from Microsoft and other vendors that we're not privy to — not even shareholders get to know the full risks involved in the products upon which their dividends depend. But it's easy to prove that they will happily lie about it.

Hmm....only up to about $4 or so here where I live in the New Orleans area...maybe a bit more...I bought at Costco yesterday and didn't really look that close at the pump, but was in the $4 range...

MBAs are "highly polished turds" because we've lost the ability (legally and culturally) to assess people on merit. You end up with a poor surrogate, which has become gameified to produce people who make the metric the measurement of work instead of basing metrics on the value of the outcome.

Where have you been? You couldn't be more wrong.

This entire culture has been bent around the idea of quarterly profits for decades. "Stocks are up!" Short term gain at the cost of long term employees and innovation. Ship faster!

While, yes, the trend to seek short term profits has slowed and even in some small ways reversed, we are a good number of years from being focused on incremental innovation and experience, again.

Too bad they couldn't both lose. OTOH, Musk is as big a liar as Altman, so neither of their testimonies should be believed. Which make it hard to come to a just decision.

The virus can persist for days in dry crap, which is the primary way it's spread to humans, when they disturb it

Yeah it's a good idea to try to get people concerned about concerning issues
