If they are old enough to have sex with, then they should be old enough to be on social media so you can find them to have sex with them!

That's why I always kept a backup floppy pinned to the fridge with a magnet...

Multiple local copies, preferably one at each different site. My real problem with cloud data storage is I don't trust networks. I started out as a network software engineer in '83. I don't trust networks 'cause I know the software for them was written by idiots like me...

You trusted a cloud service provider to back up all your data forever???

Is it still "chickening out" if he changes his mind after receiving a sake full of cash? Sounds more like "mission accomplished" to me...

They cleverly hid the operation in the basement of a pizza place that didn't have a basement, because obviously nobody would look there!

You misspelled "whining"...

Donny doesn't issue orders to make Americans safer. He issues orders to solicit bribes.

Some of the Ukrainian drones are using AI to identify targets. Seems like it would be too slow for missiles, but whatever...

"If anybody has any better ideas, I'm all ears." ---- Ross Perot, Presidential Candidate in 1992

Good point... couldn't we test on lawyers instead? How about politicians?

Get back to me when you can grow a HUGE replacement organ! Uh... for a friend, not myself. No, really!

I think that remains accurate, but it depends on the domain.

Search had always been free form text input, and that extends to this, open ended interaction with impossibly large dataset to browse and impossibly many things to request. Places based on text interaction are places where LLM have a good chance of having a large role.

However, this isn't the total world. For example, LLM will only be as good at taking an order as a drive through speaker. I greatly appreciate managing an order through an app or kiosk, where I can more quickly peruse options in detail, more quickly knowing what's in it, price, calories, etc. Maybe an LLM option when you know generally what you want to fill out the order then a UI to tweak details.

Tons of UIs are more than some compromise for helping a computer be a consolation prize for not bothering to have a human handle a request.

Lots of AI companies seem to be forgetting this and imagining that devices that are just microphones and speakers will take over, but they are incorrect in many cases.

I don't know about mental health, but at least MIT's policy seems to not detract from it's students reputation in the industry.

I guess the question is why you would say "Would you fly on a rocket designed and built by people who could not fail?" based on the current topic that UoM is adopting MIT's long-standing strategy to first semester grading. You seem to infer that UoM adopting this will produce bad engineers that can't be trusted to design and build a rocket, but MIT has been doing it since the 1960s. Why is it so terrible for UoM to do it and it isn't a concern that MIT does?
