I don't know why no one in the corporate world is talking about the operational risk of building everything your company is worth on top of captured platforms that are unreliable, questionably legal, and extremely unprofitable. (I'm talking about the big GenAI models.)

Like, come on, capitalism, aren't you supposed to be good at this?

Doubling down.
The amount of likes you get doesn’t make it any more or less valid.
The levels of “engagement” you get is not a reflection of your hard work and talents.
The amount of followers you have doesn’t make you a decent human. Nor does it negate your lack of humanity. Just to cover every angle.

Koťátka! Budu končit v současné práci, čas na nová dobrodružství. Ještě nevím, do čeho se přesně chci pustit. Ale jedna věc, která mě láká, je naučit se Rust. Je to bizarní dotaz, ale nehodil by se vám někomu člověk, co se naučí a bude pak pro vás dělat nějaké systémové věci? Jsem čistotný, programuju 30+ let ve všem možném od Basicu přes Pascal, C, assembler, Objective-C a Swift až po TypeScript. (Chápu, že ta konverzace je v principu složitější, ale to můžem vždycky dohnat později.)

“Being photographed when in transit is something that Canadians who visit the United States will need to get used to…”

Um, no. It should always be seen as a breach of privacy. I imagine it will contribute to further reduce travel.

And the guy at the beginning of this was photographed while leaving the country?

@malwaretechMarcus Hutchins :verified: I've been thinking about points like these quite hard. As a young student, I've found there are not many scenarios (again, as a student) in which I feel comfortable using AI. It is good for quick projects and the tech is undeniably cool, but I am trying my best to be my best and I don't think AI fits into that picture. It would be silly to say "AI is useless"; it's not. But, awareness must be raised w/r/t the influence of brain-inspired algorithms.

P.S.: studying algo.s has...
