We have lots of trees here in Oregon. There are lots of trees around us. They live among us. I am an Ubuntu Budgie user and also an IoT person.
This is wrong and also a terrible situation regarding #iphone:

This means that Ukrainian soldiers were likely trying to organize against invading Russian forces and were being hurt or killed in action because their data was being exfiltrated by Russia's intelligence services — though the article doesn't explicitly write that, that's probably what is still going on because Putin is a real P.A.B.
I dissent with your exposition and analysis of the two AI's — one an ordinary AI and the other an evil genie AI. I dissent because AI doesn't realistically operate in this manner, since one AI does not have that innate ability to leapfrog or supercede the commands of another directly through the same chat window.
Of course a person using the right tools could design a unique interface or specialized method to operate in this way. The question is why would anybody do that? Using only modern C.S. vernacular: it is always about what and why with computer science.
Oh, I found your link from @ cr0w's page and didn't feel like cross-posting. I personally cannot stand AI right now. It is both an encumbrance and it steals entry-level jobs. In their eyes we are never good enough as contributors. Those systems appropriate all the best parts of our abilities and give little to nothing in return when we provide the inputs. This is only my opinion; so don't murder me online.
I am older, more opinionated, and I'm headed back to class this spring term — therefore I do have opinions about such matters.
When they wrote that #Oregon college freshman typically take 45 credits over the course of one year that seemed high. So I looked this up.
The typical student takes around four years to complete their undergraduate studies and get a degree in their chosen field.
This is what I call the "rat race." KATU is at fault here. They think 45 credits is entirely normal for a college student to take during their first year. No, that kind of effort is not ordinary to me unless you plan to graduate in three years' time.
So — We have a stark divide here in broad swathes of American society. Some of us who are wiser feel that this ultra-competitiveness can lead to separation from people, polarization of thought, or cause more anxiety with everyone who's attending class and trying to keep up with homework, tests, paying bills, navigating their life, and paying rent too.
I don't think it's the youths. It's the bosses of corporations who need a reality check. It is KATU who is toeing the line here for Trump's and the Salesforce CEO's bastions within corporate America, and I think it is also the school admins deliberately raising the cost of tuition because in part they desire that people graduate and leave their institutions sooner than the way it used to be, and the students oblige SINCE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO BE IN COLLEGE FOR FOUR YEARS even when they're using their financial aid. Did I miss anything? As younger folks, we have our school tests, lots of homework, we must pay our bills or lose service, go out on dates even at my age, and make sure the rent is turned in on time... I have to say to all the gray hairs pushing buttons and running the operations: just drop your rat race belief system. Go to hell if what you're thinking ain't alright. This is my contention.
To you sages who are all ensconced inside your Ivory Towers and issue your decrees from on high over the fate of us all — we, who only wish to be educated; well goodbye, and thanks for all the browser cookies generated by your slow, stupid websites tracking everything for both Google and Meta's AI scraping of OUR content stored on THEIR Cloud infrastructure. Think about it, and I'll be seeing some of you during spring term.

after ALL the EXTRA HOURS i PUT IN 
I'm an old Generation X Deadhead. My parents were anti-hippie and somewhat conservative (they weren't bad people only a bit strict) however I had a few positive musical influences in my young adult life. One of them was the college's DJ and also my younger friend who spun Phish and Grateful Dead tunes on the Robo DJ system the college had going at the time. Also, vinyl was occasionally played by him. We would all hang out at his house located not far from Oregon State University in the early 2000's. This person was also a member of a now-defunct PNW band called Future Roots. They were kind of a cross between steady rock and some blues. My friend played banjo and my other two friends his age who lived with him each had a guitar and a saxophone.
Several years ago I got into #TameImpala aka Kevin Parker. He's the psychedelic Aussie solo guitar and electronic musician who is well known in America to both Generation X and Millennials.
I do not know if Keven Parker of Tame Impala ever was (or is now) a Deadhead. I was listening to a 1968 recording of Clementine by Jerry Garcia, et al. and their song sounds almost like "Sundown Syndrome" by Tame Impala. Both Parker's riff and the Dead's March 2, 1968 rendition are good. I won't say one is better than the other. What I mean by riff is that Sundown Syndrome is not a cover of #Clementine. Parker does his own lyrics and beats for Sundown Syndrome however the similarities between the two songs are heard. Maybe it's just a complete coincidence that Sundown Syndrome turned out the way it did in terms of delivery? I am not a musician but Sundown certainly has a 1, 2, 3, 4 -> 1, 2, 3, 4 "stepping into the two-step" rhythm that Clementine also has in its cadence.
Kevin Parker is younger than me (b. 1986) and so he's not from my parent's generation — some of whom really loved the Dead. If you're interested, just YouTube Sundown Syndrome by Tame Impala and 02.02.68 Clementine by Grateful Dead. I won't need to provide the links.
Hi, I do not know you. You may not appreciate what I have to write here. I am a man. I certainly will not use any disparaging remarks. I tend to sometimes write generalizations which can be perceived as unpopular by the younger generation. I would like to offer my critique:
As I see it, there are two viewpoints in America when taking into account the Donald Trump phenomenon and the MAGA contagion who cheers on this President while blithely accepting almost anything and everything that our executive-in-chief pedophile stands for.
On one side is the "everything goes" camp with their rather tired mantra. This includes almost everybody in the MAGA camp and some from the left who clutch their pearls anytime Trump does anything untoward. Most of these extremists including those on the left are horrible at validation. By that, I mean they will not or cannot follow up on the bizarre claims they keep making with verifiable facts to back their own unfounded beliefs.
The other, more common side is the one of decency and normalcy. In this camp are the more "street wise" among us. This camp includes US veterans, service members who do not lean Republican, those exceedingly rare "Never Trump" conservatives, and all the rest of us good citizens who certainly didn't appreciate how Trump kept wearing his MAGA hat during that funeral. OF COURSE the President of the United States wore that hat because HE KNEW FULL WELL that wearing it went against the US military's tradition and their protocols regarding the veneration for our departed soldiers at their funeral service.
Donald J. Trump is the embodiment of disrespect. Trump is also immoral as an individual and so the disrespect thing doesn't concern him all that much. He still has the power to thumb his nose at tradition. That's been Trump's mantra ever since he won his first term back in 2016. He said "drain the swamp" which was code for stopping all liberals, jailing and deporting brown-skinned people, and sidelining most women who are not pliable to a typical MAGA conservative's liking.
Also: Donald J. Trump should have known better since after all, he attended military academy when he was a teenager and finished up grades 8-12 at that military academy in New York.
Trump pulls stuff like wearing that hat to contravene the conventional mindset and be a disparaging jerk, too.
@0x00string Hi there, I just checked out your site and I see that you're some kind of pentester or infosec person.
I only write about what I know — I draw mostly from personal experience and write observations about what I've read in the online industry's websites and their publications.
I have nothing else to add. I'm not a sociologist or anything such as that. Therefore I do not feel that I can make the differentiation that you're asking me to make.
Thanks for reading, @0x00string. It's not that I don't care. I just don't have a lot of time to recursively analyze everything and get into in-depth topics with these technical subjects that the others are chatting about.
