"oh wow dandelion comes from 'dent de lion' in French which means Lion’s Tooth, that’s beautiful, surely you call it that as well?"

Watching lots of people learn why you don't buy cloud tied equipment. Ecoflow has a cloud outage and everyone is discovering their UPS, aircon, emergency batteries and the like are no longer functional.

Now maybe they'll understand what will happen if the vendor goes bust or China/Taiwan kicks off or Trump and Xi have a pissing contest.

Great news everyone! Thomas Ptacek at Fly.io published "My AI Skeptic Friends Are Nuts", and it was shoved in front of me enough times that I have sentenced him to a swift death. Godspeed, Thomas, I pray that your incineration is speedy and painless.

I'm going to reiterate my positions on End-to-End Encryption since they seem to have been ignored or overlooked:

The difference between weak encryption and security theater is how the product is marketed to end users.

Security theater is bullshit like, "This tech is private because our datacenters are in Switzerland," or, "We can recover your private keys, silently, whenever we want."

Security theater gives people the illusion of security, while they're actually vulnerable. This is the worst outcome.

Regardless of how flawed your approach is, as long as you're humble about it, it's better than not trying anything to begin with (just shoveling plaintext).

But the moment you let an ounce of arrogance or pride infect your marketing copy? The moment you're not just underdelivering on privacy, but also overselling on it?

That is when you cause harm.

Mise à jour : cette fois j'ai enfin une réponse de Robert Laffont, ça devrait s'arranger.

Message initial :
Les éditeurs de livre : l'IA pille nos œuvres sans autorisation !

Aussi les éditeurs : on n'a pas les droits sur cette trad' mais on la publie quand même ça vous va ?
