One is the clock
The other one is the schedule
The clock is arbitrary
So is the schedule
There is absolutely no reason to start work or school at 8:00
If we all used UTC, we could schedule work or school at any time

...every interaction with a cloud based AI is being monitored.
The only way to be safe is with a local model that does not have internet access.

...in theory.
In practice, supporting the full range of modern hardware will be a colossal challenge, especially if it's undocumented

The problem is NOT the AI tech itself.
The problem is PEOPLE who use AI.

I despise Trump and hope he loses power soon.
Yet Democrats like Bernie and AOC want to ban AI.
I strongly support AI.
Does this mean that I have to hold my nose and vote Republican?
WTF is wrong with Democrats?

...the moronosphere

There is no danger from AI tech itself.
There is GREAT danger from people who use AI, especially governments and militaries.
We need to focus on the real problem.

...in the olympics of stupid ideas?
Why do all of these consumer AI ideas seem so awful and useless?
How about using the new tools for science and engineering?

...with no talent or passion who were lured by promises of riches are dropping out.
Talent is real. It takes a special kind of mind to be good at software and not everybody can be good at it.
In the new world of AI, the ability to learn and adapt quickly is even more valuable than it was in the past.

...that there is nothing to fear from the AI tech itself
There is A LOT to fear from people who use AI
The AI critics are focusing on the wrong problem

...project has turned into a crapfest of irrational investment, exaggerated nonsense, all sorts of skullduggery and political manipulation.
I suspect that the nonsense will get worse as monopolists and governments use every dirty trick in the book.

Kids are smart and good at finding workarounds
Banning something makes it more desirable
It also trains kids to hate the government at an early age

AFIK, ATT has NO plans to provide fiber to the entire state.
They lie and label wireless as broadband.
The law seems to be useless.

Interesting analysis of the quality of MS programmers

Shadowy organizations are paying influencers to spread doomer nonsense.
Monopolists want to kill the competition from open source and local AI, so they fight for heavy regulations that only they will be able to afford.
There is nothing to fear from AI itself.
There is a lot to fear from people who use AI and want to control it.
We need to focus on the real problem.
