  • 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

  • Thousands of CEOs admit AI had no impact on employment or productivity

  • 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:

    1. If you're told the binary and the flag, the validation of the LLMs output is fast (either with man or executing the command)
    2. If you have a process you're searching for then the searching can be slow to find the combination of commands and flags (and that's why so many people, by the sounds of it yourself included, use LLMs)

    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)

  • Stop Killing Games delivers 'absolutely incredible' hearing in European Parliament: 'There was no [parliament member] that wasn't responding positively'

  • 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

  • Students are speeding through their online degrees in weeks, alarming educators

    Jump

  • 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

    Is there a place on these platforms were you can post old news..?

  • If it's certain politics then !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world might fit. Like "This didn't age well" takes

    Actually, on the topic of news that doesn't age well, if something like an Elon Musk deadline ticked over, I wonder where you could post that

  • Japan finds a way to recover 90% of lithium from old EV batteries

    Jump

  • Ahh... "rather" reads as a point contrasted to the comment? So what are you expecting comes after questioning why the oil subsidies still exist?

  • Japan finds a way to recover 90% of lithium from old EV batteries

    Jump

  • There are improvements but physics and chemistry kick in at some point. I don't know enough to presume where that point is, but you seem to be presuming that the limits for sodium will be better than lithium and I'm not seeing any evidence provided, just faith. May as well work with the reality we have while we see how that pans out. Like someone else said, we recycle a lot of lead from lead batteries, we didn't stop when lithium batteries came along

  • Japan finds a way to recover 90% of lithium from old EV batteries

    Jump

  • How is that the perfect example?

    Shouldn't it open up the question "why do these subsidies still exist and can we phase them out" not "subsidies are bad"?

  • Japan finds a way to recover 90% of lithium from old EV batteries

    Jump

  • Kickstarting new infrastructure is one place government money tends to work well. You can always phase out the subsidies and there is an argument that battery tech benefited from a feedback loop (used in phones until infra and tech was cheap enough for cars+) and something needs to kickstart that for their recycling, government stepping in to start that loop isn't uncommon or as terrible as you seem to be making it out

    Jump

  • Doesn't BlackSky show that "one person" power isn't the same because of the architectural differences? But yeah, the company makes moderation calls that are centralised. Ironically my biggest issue is with the lack of something like community notes or even something more centralised to limit misinformation

  • I more meant why

    I guessed you meant that you see people rallying against genAI as foolish so you're glad to not associate with people like that, but people making snarky comments can reference a whole lot of shit I don't understand

  • Bluesky's new AI tool Attie is already the most blocked account other than J.D. Vance

    Jump

  • And it seems odd to presume he would be since he didn't return to Twitter presumably so Truth Social is differentiated by having access to his posts as a way to increase usage

  • Ahaha. I'm not even bitching about that. I'm doing that pedantic thing that physics teachers do where they point out the number without the units isn't correct

    That said, if the US just used SI units...
