There seem to be plenty (and getting more) of these in the US today. There is no way the utterly greedy telcos would stop selling phones to them.

That sounds ... exceptionally useless?

The OWASP LLM Top 10 list this as a real and quite relevant risk. An attacker can bankrupt you this way.

Anthropic are responsible parents and never let a child process wander the streets on its own.

Seriously, I'm just not seeing the supposed benefits from AI at this time, just a very large number of risks.

That is precisely why it is considered extremely bad practice to have developers test their own code beyond basic sanity-checking. Developers will inherently test with the very same assumptions they made when they coded, so will never capture the areas in which their work is most likely to be fragile.

Unfortunately, QA teams just aren't up to decent QA. They tend to miss all kinds of very obvious problems and flaws. In part because deadlines matter more than their jobs and they know it.

Most people don't need free speech because they have nothing to say.
Most people don't need guns because they have nothing to shoot.
Most people don't need to worry about housing soldiers because military personnel have taxpayer funded housing.
Most people don't need to worry about their stuff being unlawfully searched because they have nothing to hide.
Most people don't need to worry about incriminating themselves because they don't commit crimes.
Most people don't need their trials to be public because they don't get put on trial.
Most people don't need the guaranteed ability to sue someone because most people don't file lawsuits.
Most people don't need to worry about excessive bail being imposed because most people don't get arrested.
Most people don't need to worry about any of those rights being used against other rights.
Most people don't care whether a right is granted by the state or federal government.

Fortunately for those who DO find themselves in a place where the government would cause issues in these matters, a bunch of old guys a few hundred years ago had the presence of mind to realize that the point of rights isn't because "most people" need to exercise them regularly, it's to create limits so that "most people" *don't" need to exercise them regularly.

They're using REBCO. You can buy it online:

Admittedly, Walmart doesn't seem to stock it yet.

The US military has maintained a network of university affiliated research centres for decades:

They also award university research grants and acquire technology and graduates from university programs all the time. What a strange accusation.

How many American companies are required by US Government to routinely supply said Government with all the information it wants without even involving the courts?

Depends what you mean. Every company with a government contract pretty much has to do that. There are certainly some that are secretly forced to do so as well:

Do you count secret courts?

Seriously, why are not trying to hide this in shame?

For coders? Probably. For regular people, no.

I have not gotten any mod-points for years now. Not that I really care, but they seem to _want_ to kill slashdot ...

Which essentially just shows how pathetic software testing is in the first place. But, yes, people do that to get "path coverage" and then forget about it.

Thanks. I do not even have user namespaces in my kernels. Did strike me as very unsafe and I do not use containers anyways.
