I wonder what you do about this.
I just started reading Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan, published in 1994, and the intro is basically saying the same thing but framed as curious people being more well read in Atlantis than they are in interesting recent science or critical thinking skills
And it should end with “without the US”. Fuck the US and their center of the world bullshit, there are a lot of beautiful countries in the Americas
I just think a lot of them don’t think about the actions of their companies and are more focused on their income and promotion opportunities
I can’t believe this is so heavily downvoted for pointing out flaws in the expressed/written stance while still expressing they agree with the general position
That’s seems pretty reasonable, it just sounded in you post like you were so emotionally invested in how often security is used as an out that you were ignoring that the post you were responding to brought up some valid points about security for some segments of the population that aren’t as knowledgeable as you seem to be
Over a billion (maybe four) in his first year of his second term for him and his family:

It’s tough to tease out exactly how much and exactly who it goes to
I have wanted to transform things
I didn’t know how but it seemed possible. I searched and didn’t quickly come up with an answer.
I asked an LLM, and it gave me a confident answer.
I checked the man for the tool and the LLM had used creative writing to create the interface I expected should exist… but it did not exist.
I don’t know how you’re swapping or merging these basic facts:
I do think a “linux tutor” is one of the better use cases for LLMs for beginners, since you can quickly validate when its recommended commands are incorrect (but you still can’t quickly validate if its description of internals is misleading). I just think it falls apart as you start requiring more specialised things, or are at a situation where “this should exist” because the LLMs habitually make things up that sound reasonable to fill in the gaps in what the tools can do. That’s not an issue for beginners / the basics especially if there are lots and lots of tutorials the LLMs are sourcing from (although, that opens ethical issues too)
Agreed, but I think a framing or two is missing here, and it only applies to a subset, is that the people of the world shouldn’t have to deal with more/larger bot nets because these things haven’t been considered.
Another is just that the average great aunt isn’t opting into a concept of insecurity they’re simply ignorant to what threats there are. If it’s possible to distinguish between the two sets of people, or to maybe even bucket devices by potential threat, it might go a long away. I probably a lot wrong here, I just woke up.
But yeah, agreed security is an argument that’s hidden behind
Ahhh… what!?
Its linux, its faster to man the command or to type it. Point is that it usefulness to bullshit ratio for me in that situation was far too low
Kind of, but that would be a fault in the system that ideally would be charged. Maybe with some sort of verification to ensure they have the skills already. Maybe that’s even what this is abusing and they’re not examining enough / tolerant of LLMs yet. But agreed that is something a flaw with credentials
Any time I want to know if a linux command exists to manipulate data
This is one of the reasons I’m very cautious of my genAI use. Most of the time I got to the stage where I thought “there should be a command / way to do this” and I asked an LLM it would tell me the intuitive interface that I expected existed. But when I tested it didn’t exist, the answer had just been creative writing
Oh? All those people that love playing and watching sports that help give sports people (at the top) large salaries don’t fit well. Nor do a lot of people that display other people’s art (that love art). I think you’re grossly simplifying in a very pessimistic way
