"Safety, security, buy a better rig to run my shit because I'm not optimizing this for peasants" being the clarion call of the bottom feeder tier software development that was massively encouraged over last decade or so is indeed the thing I'm decrying.

It's the IT version of "learn to code".

AI could solve this by bypassing this moat to enable translation to openCL.

Considering just how good AI is at this sort of work once properly trained, I would be surprised if this doesn't happen. Though Nvidia will certainly fight anyone trying to do this to slow it down.

Yes, but now you have it too complicated for 95% of the vibe coders. So they simply won't do it. Because skipping all of those steps still results in something that compiles.

They fuck up spreadsheets as well. A truckload of business-critical spreadsheets have errors in them that often go undetected for years.

It's hard enough to get actual developers to properly consider security. Not surprised at all that vibe coders don't.

Plus, of course, most of the training data is insecure to begin with.

But let them learn by fire that there's a reason actual programmers take time to ship a product, and it's not that the AI can type faster.

Demand software developers start caring about memory print of their software again. Both in RAM and storage.

Unironically. We've lived out at least a decade and a half of "this software stack is utterly unoptimized garbage" "who cares, just slap bigger system requirements. We're not spending money on optimizing something that doesn't matter to anyone since hardware is advancing so fast".

It's good that every decade or so we get a memory and storage crunch and developers actually have to rediscover things like better compression algorithms and methods, proper garbage collection, and general software optimization.

Seriously, have you seen the size requirements of modern games? Have you seen the retarded chugging of modern office software running win11 on 8GB RAM machines when they have to actually start swapping? Have you experienced the joys of Chrome and all the memes about it being a ramvore?

What in the actual fuck are those tabs doing eating gigabytes of RAM? And why in the fuck are most Chromium based browser installs now almost a gig of storage?

You could do the same things a decade and a half ago on 4 gigs RAM and tiny SSDs that were less than one gigabyte and the system flew and most things except the porn torrents could be stored on it.

And then you consider "ok, what did we actually get for that insane increase in system demands?"

Built in always on spyware. Slightly redesigned UI according to the latest fashion trends. A few arcane additional features barely anyone uses. Games with "that unreal look" that look worse than unreal games a decade ago. And "modern" webpages that essentially ask you one question: "Would you like scrips with those scripts so you can enjoy scripts while you're enjoying scripts".

While reading a text based news article.

Just kidding. They don't ask.

Only reason I have LI is because I got access prior to public release back in 2003. I got laid off and my manager recommended it.

Problem is: We don't even know what consciousness is.

So the best we can say is if something creates the impression of having one, based on whom we attribute consciousness to, i.e. other humans. Well, big surprise that a model explicitly trained on human language and texts creates that impression. It does show just how good the models are. At pretending to be human because they have a shitload of examples on what humans would say.

For all we know, the gas clouds on Jupiter could be conscious, just in a way that is completely baffling to us. We can't rule it out because we don't know what consciousness is, so we can't test for it.

To be fair, quite a few AIs already use reddit as a source of information.

They just don't elevate it to level of "trustworthy/expert/authoritative" in general.

That said, it's always funny when someone shows you "look AI supports my really stupid take" screenshot of AI answer, and AI shows that it used reddit as a source/reference for the answer.

Will this decision be used in court of law as a good argument for increased damages due to "gross incompetence" rather than mere "incompetence"?

They're experts in everything.

"I have a problem with my boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife". Expert advice: you need to break up with him immediately.
"How many genders are there?" Expert advice: no one knows. It's probably infinite.
"Are white men uniquely evil and should they be genocided?" Expert advice: Obviously, and you need to check your privilege for merely asking such a stupid question.
And my personal favorite:
"I am 12 and I think I want to fuck my toaster". Expert advice: You should dedicate your entire life and sexuality to exploring ways in which you can fuck a toaster.

Not true.

An attacker may have a limited window. He might exploit some other vulnerability to do some operation with privileged access rights, but not have an admin shell.

You're not saying?

But they take security so seriously. They said. They promised. This time for real. No, this time. Ok, next time.

This.

Whenever a politician claims that something is "to protect the children", you can be 100%, absolutely certain that it is not about the children.

Oh, that's trivial: a) it's made-up nonsense, b) it tells people how to live their lives and c) it's been around for so long that people forgot that it's made-up nonsense.

None of that or the rest of your answer has anything to do with the point I was making: That "accepted as a religion in the USA" isn't much of an argument. If people can get Jedi accepted as a religion, it just proves how meaningless all of that is. Other countries have correctly identified Scientology as a pyramid scheme and a scam.

The fact that other religions would qualify for that as well doesn't make it any less true.
