Recently a man decided to reduce his intake of table salt – sodium chloride – for health reasons. ChatGPT suggested that he substitute his sodium chloride intake with sodium bromide. He figured they are both sodium related so close enough, but he was wrong.
In a case like this, bad advise was not the root of the problem.

I fault any company that sends any links in any emails. Every time a customer clicks a legit link from a legit company and nothing bad happens that customer is trained to trust potentially harmful links the future. "It worked just fine last time". Instead of sending their customers a link in an email they should tell them "Go to the official website for Bobs Discount Bank-O-Rama to access your mortgage statement.". Using bookmarks or actually typing www.bobsbank.com is not hard.

My employer filters out all links from all emails. It's not a big deal.

There is no proof that I know of that demonstrates that organic thought is the result of a computation. Why would anybody assume that non-organic computations could results in thoughts?

Focusing on properties that are well defined and measurable assumes that "thinking" can be defined and measured. While possible, I do not see where such an assumption has been demonstrated to be true. Maybe if we can't define a thing it doesn't exist?? Yet surely we can define something that does not exist. So, definitions alone won't solve the general question of existence. Maybe if we can't measure a thing it does not exist? Yet, thoughts exist and how could one measure a thought? What I have concluded so far is that I do see some mysteries - TRUE mysteries - that at their core are incomprehensible.

What if the cheaters wife is actually a huge Coldplay fan? Not anymore.

All I ever hear about is the downside of AI performing more jobs. Sure, I won’t have as much access to well-paying jobs but I won’t need as much money because the AI that took my job makes what I need so much more cheaply. If the AI can produce for next to nothing I can pay next to nothing for the product. So the question is: What is the net cost/benefit balance between fewer jobs and cheaper goods and services?

You want nuclear – ok. But consider charging fees based on proximity to the plant. Downwind and “close” free power, far away and upwind – full price, etc. The cost should reflect the risk. Dramatically reduced energy costs would counteract the NIMBY effect.

Obtuse Applications International founders board, developers of ZZyxF.Lp-7, deprecated past upgrades to Asc-2277_V.12 despite objections by minority bond issuer Gemini Holdings in violation of USC 22-1778.03.

'nuff said.

At least if it smelled like little mousey cheese farts it'd be funny. Gross, but funny. Kind of.

What would happen to the governments in the middle east that rely on oil revenues to maintain their hold on power if we don't need oil any more? Fusion not good for them. We better plan on large scale instability over there.

The Pentagon just failed their audit - again. For like, what, the 7th year in a row. In fact, they have never, not once, had a clean audit. There is no good reason for the inability to follow even basic accounting standards. I'll note that the Marine Corp did pass their portion of the audits, so it can be done. "Jumping to the conclusion" that money is being wasted, or worse, at the Pentagon and in other federal agencies seems like the only reasonable jump to me.

Additionally, coding is only a part software development/software engineering. Stakeholder identification, requirements development, integration, configuration management, test, etc., are also needed, and taken together consume much more time and effort than writing code.

Let's not make this political - I'm actually wondering here. What if we build more of the safer generation 4 nukes and charge people based on proximity to the plant? Within a mile and down wind - free power. Up wind and 10 miles away full price - you get the idea. Base the fees on level of risk exposure.

OMG no! Businesses act in their own self interests?? How can we allow such a thing?? Thank the heavens above that employees always act altruistically for the good of The People and not their own self interests.

Yeah, of course some businesses are a-holes and mistreat employees, but to make the connection from that to all businesses will "abuse workers the most" that they can get away with is Marxist nonsense. And leaving out of the equation that the employees are sometimes a-holes acting in their own self interest belies an agenda.
