    most people are too ignorant to understand the problems with AI or that the bill that will be coming due. they just like that the chatbot glazes them. It’s addictive.

    they don’t know that AI consumes shitloads of water and other energy, is driving the cost of computing (ram, GPUs, etc.) up, and is too stupid, that if you just keep pressing it will totally tell you that killing yourself is an insightful and brilliant solution to whatever problem you’re trying to solve.

    And then there’s the people that are making these things- scumbuckets. all of them are scumbuckets and most are fucking nazis.

    And then there’s the concerns about social manipulation and propaganda.

    Most people who know the potential future costs, and how shitty they are in the first place, and how not-actually-useful they are, hate them. the people that like them are some combination of stupid, ignorant or sold on the hype.






  • An email service can check every email and catch the vast majority of spoofed headers pretty easily.

    You’re right, it’s possible that the email is spoofed and passed the header checks, or that email is already compromised, or something.

    That said, using one’s one legitimate email in a phishing test. They said the same stuff. So we spent about a month calling them for every email they sent (including the “you need to sign up for training”)

    It creates more problems than it’s worth, and they caught the point pretty quickly.


  • my team actually does pretty good with the cyber security checks. the people running the have to meet a certain amount of metrics so they figured “hey if we send it from this one email, everyone is going to trust us!” … because that’s what they’re supposed to do… Which makes a terrible thing to do. because now they’re always going to be asking if this new email is another test.

    (Bruh. if you want us to go to training, just ask.)







  • Yup. though a lot of things are more effecient and easily understood with GUIs than command line interfaces. Imagine a volume slider. on the other hand there’s a lot of things that are much more convenient in a terminal window.

    sure. you can use amixer sset Master 50%

    to set volume to 50%, but it’s faster and more intuitive to use the GUI for it.

    GUI: vs CLI:




  • If you think about a square drawn on a paper, it’s 2 dimensional- you can measure the height and the width. But it’s still a square and it’s s on a piece of paper.

    A cube is 3 dimensional- height, width and length. You can measure them and it takes up a volume of space.

    But that cube is also experiencing changes, and stuff, and that is a fourth dimension we call “time”. We can measure it, too.

    Our universe has 4 dimensions, not three. (It maybe has more, but that’s way beyond me. I’m sure someone here is far better able to explain spacetime than I.)

    It’s not that we’re moving through space and time. We’re moving through spacetime. S Part of the reason is we can’t move through space without time because moving through space is change.
