I like oddball humor and empathy.
@Antimony @LCWebsXOXO oh my. I had no idea there was a connection and had to google it. That’s…depressing. I’d rather deal with changing accounts than even inadvertently support hate so I’m off to figure out the most graceful way to switch to a new account. See you on the other side.

@TomWellborn This analysis seems to assume the judicial branch is way less political than it actually is.
@patrickcmiller infosec posture is an inherently risk-based decision almost certainly made above the CISO’s level. Holding CISOs personally liable seems like such a shortsighted and self-defeating reaction.
Personal liability sours 70% of CISOs on their role

With responsibility versus authority a key CISO issue, many security execs express hesitancy in taking CISO positions, while security specialists suggest ways to protect them from taking the fall.

@Gaolaitch @CiaraNi hey, if it’s not for you it’s not for you.

Pratchett is my favorite author and the inspiration for my username but even so I feel like the plots are—not that they’re bad, more like just kind of secondary.

I read them for the satire and brilliant turns of phrase and to hang out with funny, interesting, wise characters.

But maybe it’s not your kind of humor or you’re looking for something more story driven. That’s cool too.

‘There’s no greys, only white that’s got grubby. And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things, including yourself. That’s what sin is.’

‘It’s a lot more complicated than that—’

‘No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.’

‘Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes—’

‘But they STARTS with thinking about people as things ...’

LLMs will not get us to AGI because you can’t prompt engineer and autocomplete your way to Data from Star Trek or C3PO.

This is fairly self evident but leads to multiple paths of false thinking.

1. LLMs are a scam or overhyped: We can and are getting a lot of value from this technology even if it’s not artificial general intelligence.

2. We can’t achieve AGI: LLMs are just one of many AI approaches and simply the most popular today. OpenAI already has smarter models using different approaches

No one should be homeless in the U.S.
