A big problem in computer security these days is all-or-nothing security: either you can’t do anything, or you can do everything.
I have no interest in agentic AI, but if I did, I would want it to have very clearly specified permission to certain folders, processes and APIs. So maybe it could wipe the project directory (which would have backup of course), but not a complete harddisk.
And honestly, I want that level of granularity for everything.
This technology is wasted on smartphones. We need this on laptop screens.
Can the Supreme Court overrule a jury? Doesn’t he have a right to a jury trial? Can Mangione be convicted if no jury is willing to do it?
Not that constitutional rights have ever stopped Trump.
That joke, about just uploading everything and letting others decide what’s worth saving, is one I first heard decades ago. Might still have been him who first made it.
Different generations. They didn’t get each other’s cultural references.
Pay workers the bare minimum they need to survive, and have them spend all their waking hours working for you. That’s how you get rich, apparently.
I’ve long admired Chomsky, but non-US imperialism has long been a massive blind spot for him. Only the US can be imperialist, apparently.
Warhammer? This sounds not far from the most horrific mission from a Shadowrun campaign I ran. They were making the new internet out of human brains.
“In science fiction, people have been living with these ideas for quite a long time,” he said.
That doesn’t mean you should do it for real.
Are your unaware that you are arguing towards a tautology? “It’s not overvalued because this is what it’s valued”. That’s meaningless.
If the assets, profits and projected growth do not justify the current valuation, it’s overvalued. That’s the case for Tesla.
That doesn’t mean that value is reasonable, though. The stockmarket has a rich history of hysteria and irrationality.
By that argument nothing is ever overvalued because apparently that’s what the stockmarket says it’s worth. But crashes still happen.
Honestly I don’t think it’s any of our business. Even rich assholes are allowed to have a private life. Although with some (Musk, Trump) that private life is so fucked up it’s impossible to ignore, but generally I’m totally fine with not knowing who they fuck.
If it’s going to happen anyway, they might as well claim political credit for the thing they used to oppose, right?
That’s just a “the stockmarket can’t possibly be wrong” argument, but the stockmarket has often been wrong.
Tesla is overvalued. That’s blatantly obvious if you look at the data. There’s no justification for Tesla’s insane market cap other than hype or corruption.
Did you not understand the Corolla/Lamborghini example?
I do, but I wonder if you do. Toyota is far, far more valuable than Lamborghini. Toyota is the largest car manufacturer in the world, and with a market cap of $269B, the second most valuable after Tesla.
Lamborghini is not independent, but owned by Volkswagen, as part of their Audi group, and all of those brands put together have a market cap of $58B.
Your argument is not a justification for Tesla’s high market value; quite the opposite.
There’s more to a car than speed, and Teslas aren’t Lamborghinis. They were exciting when they were new, but they’ve always had quality issues. Toyota produces more reliable cars. And more cars. There’s no perspective from which Tesla’s valuation makes sense.
Oh, I’m very good at avoiding games like that.
Never heard of Rust, but it sounds like something Incan afford to ignore.
OS shouldn’t even matter to prevent cheating; do your anticheat validation server side. Anyone who knows anything about security knows the client side can never be trusted.
Zero tolerance? Except for deepfake porn, apparently.
The parents should sue the school for tolerating that.
I’m still boycotting Amazon for the poor treatment of their warehouse workers.
Blame Israel committing genocide for the view that people think Israel is committing genocide.
It’s not just young Americans; it’s also old Europeans and people from many other countries. It’s genocide experts, human rights experts, and basically everybody who opposes genocide, who are all horrified and disgusted by what’s been going on.
