If I continue to try to educate you then I will only allow you to drag me down to your level and beat me with your stupidity. Enjoy being an uneducated fool.

Your analogy breaks down just a bit when you realize that the IT guys don't make less money when nobody clicks, and if management is smart they recognize that the education provided by IT is working and they get a promotion or raise. Dentists also typically don't get blamed when a patient gets cavities, but IT guys *might* be held accountable if they had an education effort and this still continued to occur. It is telling that this thread started with a guy admitting he was stupid enough to click on the link, but has hate for the IT guys exposing him rather than admitting that he is living proof that this kind of thing is necessary.

No, "emberissing" is being so uneducated that you think that it would even be possible to keep such an absurd proposed conspiracy afloat. Either you have never seen the many Black Hat presentations including the OpenAI Hugging Face incident and interviews with experts including Bruce Schneier, Max Tegmark, Roman Yampolskiy, and many, many others or you are stupid enough to be a flat earther. You double down on the "emberissment" by proudly broadcasting your ignorance and stupidity to the world.

Let's hope all the governments believe it.

You are literally just repeated words you have heard without understanding on a basic level why you have no idea what you are talking about. In order to make such a ridiculous statement you have to literally zero understanding of AI, the fact that it is non-deterministic, and that it doesn't execute instructions. It doesn't do exactly as it is told. You should be embarrassed to post such a ridiculous and clueless comment.

You are right, those losing their money due to AI deserve it :)

I don't know if you're a russian bot or some deluded idiot, but it amuses me to do a breakdown of your post.

NATO turned what was originally intended to be a mostly peaceful show of force like the temporary invasion of Georgia into a war of attrition.

First of all the "peaceful show of force" "temporary" invasion of Georgia involved a few hundred dead in the first two days, and another 5000+ civilians killed in the ethnic cleansing after that, all for a land-grab to seize control of territory covering half of Georgia's coastline that Putin wanted.

Secondly, the "peaceful show of force" "temporary" invasion of Ukraine involved hundreds dead, ballistic and cruise missile attacks on all of Ukraine's largest cities, and Putin publicly admitting the goal of overthrowing the Ukrainian government... and that's just within the first 36 hours. Within two and a half months Russian officials began admitting the intent to permanently annex parts of Ukraine, proceeding with a constitutional amendment a few months later claiming to annex vast territories that Russian had not remotely taken control of, and which Russia is not remotely capable of capturing. Donetsk alone has a population of over a million, two million if you include the metro-area. Russia spent months and many thousand of lives to capture, and later lose, villages in the range of low tens of thousands.

Remember WWI when the lines were pretty much static for years and then suddenly it was all over?

Yes, I remember. As I recall it wasn't exactly "sudden". As I recall... Russian casualties were around five million killed, wounded, or captured, the Russian economy was collapsing, Russia was running out of food, and Russian literally lost it's own capital to civilian rebellion. A few months later the Russian government collapsed and surrendered vast territories including Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, parts of Poland and Ukraine to Germany and its allies (known as the Central Powers). Right about that point the U.S. joined the war reinvigorating the Allied Powers. Germany&friends knew they couldn't win a protracted war. They attempted a quick win, and, in short, they failed. The Allied powers steadily beat them down, with the allies eventually breaking through the lines and progressively liberating territory. With the Allies steadily advancing and the war obviously lost, German forces began rebelling and Germany surrendered.

That's what's happening here. Russia has most of Donbas plus a buffer zone in some other regions that directly border Russia. Ukraine is throwing men at the front lines for Russia to kill but is running out. Territory held is largely irrelevant compared to the number of men killed and weapons destroyed.

So much to unpack there, but it's amusing how you cite "territory held is largely irrelevant" given that the tide has turned and Ukrainians are now the ones breaking through lines and liberating territory from Russian occupation. It's not much yet, but all the map trackers show the reversal. Russia is now officially loosing more territory than they gain. Russia WAS slowly gaining small bits of land, largely through sending meat waves of untrained ill equipped soldiers at Ukrainian lines until the Ukrainians ran out of ammo and had to fall back. However now 7 out of 10 Russians killed are killed by drones. The "no man's land" between the two sides is now many kilometers wide. Any Russian trying to advance gets hit by a drone. Russia has also losing on average 1 air defense system every day, and rapidly depleting. Russian supply lines are getting pummeled by drones. Russian refineries are getting pummeled by drones, with progressively worsening fuel shortages for both the military and for the increasingly rebellious population. Cheap advanced Ukrainian drones are taking out expensive crappy Russian drones, including Russian's new jet-drones. Practically every country on earth is asking Ukraine for their military drone tech, the Russians can't remotely match it. Russian's economy is also fucked, but that topic pretty needs a separate book to cover.

Interesting side notes on weapons destroyed. Russia is destroying it's aircraft almost as fast as Ukraine is, between incompetence and maintenance failures and friendly fire shooting down their own aircraft. Also the nation that is the biggest donor of tanks to Ukraine is... Russia. Ukraine captured countless Russian tanks intact because the Russian military is so abysmal incompetent and corrupt. And as I mentioned, Russian air defense units are depleting. The war is now approaching 5 years, longer than the entirety of WW1. Ukraine is a small fraction of Russia's size, and Russian is literally losing and headed towards another soviet-union-style collapse. The biggest shock to the world of this entire war is just how worthless Putin has made Russian military, through systemic corruption and systemic incompetence.

Polls show the Ukrainian population isn't interested in surrendering. They are defending their homes. It's simple, the war will end when all the soldiers go home. When Russian soldiers go back to their homes in Russia, and when Ukrainian soldiers go back to their homes in the currently occupied parts of Ukraine. Although that's not likely to happen until Putin either expires or is overthrown. Not only is he fanatical enough to drive his country to collapse in the attempt, he knows if he did end the war in failure he'd get killed or overthrown for it.

Anyway, pointless reply to a bot or a useful idiot. But maybe some random passer-by will find some bits interesting. I don't know about the rest of the world, but mainstream US news rarely mentions the Ukraine war anymore, and certainly not in any detail.

How can an AI agent know the password and username from a bank customer without this person giving it to the AI agent?
It makes me believe some people use AI without understanding the (dire) consequences, it that case they deserve loosing their money (or when lucky access to the breached account)

Pretty much this.

AFAICT and have heard the cascading climate change effects have already been kicked loose. The planets albedo (it's ratio of reflection) has already dropped into a feedback loop that will only accelerate things. We can kiss our glaciers goodbye and the dutch will likely have to find a new place to stay within this century. As some island nations already have to know.

It's it a guzzling Harley or something with 7+ liters per 100km? Or a SuperCub with 1.5 liters? The latter would be somewhat acceptable IMHO. The former not.

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.

Great ... now show me where I professed to be qualified to be an editor (i.e. criticized them).

I have no idea how the fact that there are more companies in China, or that others might exist outside China makes anything moot. That is like saying putting in a filtration system to avoid a single contaminant is moot because it also filters other potential contaminants. That being said I may not have been clear. We are mostly in agreement, and I agree with you that this is really about Trump trying to pretend he is a 5D Chess Grandmaster; of course he is posturing to play to his ignorant base. I was explaining the reasoning used, not saying I believe them. I would add though, saying that factory inspections are meaningless doesn't make any sense either. If you have ever worked in manufacturing then you know that they burn/load the firmware on site. Sampling products from shelves is useful, but that doesn't mean that the additional pressure that they could be audited at any time, especially if they actually perform the audits, is of no use. To recap, we agree that this is much ado about nothing, but from a purely security conscious standpoint it *does* make sense to be able to have manufacturing in the US if only because the factories have to follow all US laws and need to comply with all lawful inspections, which can be more easily facilitated due to geographic convenience.

If you were qualified to be an editor you would know it is "would have" not "would of."
