"Benjamin owns a farm. He employs 100 workers plowing his fields. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10 percent productivity gain. Benjamin fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000 percent productivity gain. Benjamin loses the productivity from his one remaining employee, who no longer guides a plow but instead spends 100 percent of his time shoveling mule shit."

In 2012, a whistleblower reported a hidden backdoor in 360 Secure Browser. The Product Director of 360 Secure Browser, Tao Weihua, responded that “Whoever has a mind to beat a dog will always be able to find a stick” and accused the whistleblower of “smearing 360 on behalf of Baidu”, which the whistleblower said was “the worst professional response in history”.

Error: password must contain:

Three lower case letters for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven upper case letters for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine digits for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One special character for the Dark Lord on his dark throne;
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One username to rule them all, one password to find them,
A second factor to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them;
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie

windows users: ohhhh linux is so scawy, it'll fry all my synapses and kill my mother if i try to use it for 1 second :(

also windows users: so what you'll need to do is go into the registry and change BUTTFUCK_MODE to 0, and then copy this totally not-suspicious DLL file to system32, and then you need to restart into "please give me viruses" mode, and reboot into that every time you want to play this game that'd work under regular ass WINE

There are several proposals for a first version of an LLM policy for the Rust project, which haven't even been accepted/merged yet, and yet there are now pro-AI people outraged because we're banning AI, and anti-AI people outraged because we're allowing AI. What a day. :)

I promise you many of us care very deeply about the ethical impacts of AI. The project is not banning any discussion topics, but we do want to keep some GitHub threads focussed to avoid them derailing into discussions we're already having in other places.
