oh, I didn't see all that. thanks!

TN does it already. They've gone as far as saying NO electronic devices. So now I'd get hit for using my HAM radio while driving.

Good and bad here and I can't decide which side I'm on. When apple did this they SEVERELY reduced the theft of iphones. And while no one wants their phone stolen in any way, it's the muggings in large cities that really went way down. People saw those white iphones cords going into people's pocket and they new an expensive, desirable and easy to sell phone was at the end of it. I've never been mugged, nor have had a family member, but the idea of someone stopping my wife or kid on the street demanding their phone terrifies me.

On the other hand, I work in corporate IT. I've seen the stack and stacks of iphones and ipads that have been locked by the user and we can't reset them. For whatever reason our predecessor didn't lock down icloud with the MDM, so the users logged into icloud. We told them when they quit they had to remove it, but many didn't know how and they just shipped us their locked phone. Holding their last paycheck is illegal, so we ended up with stacks of expensive, shiny and useless hardware. I even brought about 5 ipads home because I was going to see what sort of 'hacking tools' I could use to unlock them. Haven't gotten around to trying yet.

can't edit my previous post, but the original story showed that the version he was testing this with was something beta4

Like I said, I did it on the current version, it it didn't do this. This is new bug because they're adding new features to siri. This has not been around since 2011.

I'm not really very pro-Siri for just about anything.

But I just tested both prompts on my 16pro and got "It's friday march 21, 2025". That is a perfectly acceptable answer. A little more than I was requesting, but it's certainly not wrong.

But yall are running beta software. Obviously there's a bug. That's why it's beta software. Now if this still happens after it's released software, THEN you have a story. But now you're just trying to get famous.

I don't get it either. Here's NASA's on photo from 1993 that shows the exact same thing that these others are showing. A lot grainier and in black and white, but 1993.

Is NASA just trying to keep their budget by saying they found something brand new? The new photos look like a different plane, higher res and a color filter.

I'm curious why you aren't mentioning SpaceX as one of the choices, because it's the only one of the group I choose if I was FORCED to take a ride. The only non biased reason I thought of was maybe they don't offer commercial options, where the others do. I don't follow them all enough to know.

It's all based on who has a track record. Nothing to do with Elon. I'm going with the one who's put up a ton of flights and got them down safely. All of them? no. But they haven't had anyone die or stuck in space. Not saying that the others have, there's just not been enough successful flights from those guys to make me confident.

The problem with intentional on this one... if you look at 6661, 662, 665, 667, 668... they're all done on the same date. with no gaps. This system is auto numbering them. And with 666 of them done by mid feb that's about 15 per day. He'd have to be watching that submit button like a hawk to get that just right. But no, I don't actually think it's divine... I'd lean more towards he's knows a dba or admin that can renumber his bill after he submitted and just waited for the rest to catch up so it wasn't obvious. even that's a huge stretch.

Even if they were allowed to request a number when they submitted it, that would put it in a different date range than the ones around it, so not that either. Ok, i've talked myself back to "We're on a mission from God"

This doesn't surprise me and it scares me to death at the same time. Our administrators are usually the type to want to play around with new toys. And obviously they get privs that are dangerous. We DO a good job at not letting users log in to their machines it their admin or domain admin accounts. And we vault their admin accounts and do daily rotates. But STILL, I know of a way to get to the keys to the kingdom without a single MFA. I have a feeling others do too. We also don't like being told we can't be admin so some people add themselves to sudoers. On the macs an administrator and someone in sudoers is not exactly the same thing. Although if you can sudo there's a one-liner to make yourself admin.

We don't have the 1pass problem this guy fell for. although I could see if I stored my password to the vault in that where it could still get around things. And then even with all that, i'll still periodically find a hole here and there.

Oh, and admins like to say "I'm an experienced user, I'll recognize if I have a virus". yeah, that doesn't fly any more. My good admins know better. But sometimes even good admins will get sick of all the hoops to jump through and set up a few bypasses.

Yeah, was this done with great skill or divine intervention? They didn't just randomly pick a number to be funny, there's a 665 and a 667 submitted on the same day. Too on the nose to be coincidence.

First, I don't disagree with anything you said, just commenting on it. But you may disagree with my comments, which is fine.

The Lincoln thing was because Gemini was told a little to much to try to be inclusive. It also made a black Nazi and a native american George Washington. Google pulled back on their forced diversity and let it output what it actually learned. And no, they don't have a mind of their own. They don't have a mind at all. It's all just programming. The 'problem' is we've programmed them to grow and change. We've told them to use the data that they bring in to mold their responses, and in some cases even change their own programming. This goes way beyond an algorithm

And as for locking us up for our own good, yes you're right. But not because someone said "Lock up all the humans" but because they said "protect the humans at all costs" and since we have a natural tendency to hurt ourselves the best way to solve it is to keep us separated, just like we would fighting children.

AI models don't have morals. Cheating is just another way to solve the problem. Morals are not a construct that they care about. Don't be surprised when they lock us up in cages for our own good.

This seems to be a common occurence on /. lately. I got into the same sort of interaction with someone a few weeks back. He just wanted to argue with everything anyone said. And then you go look at his history and that seems to be all he could do. And each time it was the same format. At least the guy arguing with me didn't 'break' once he couldn't argue anymore. That guy would just keep going forever, even if you said the sky was blue, he was going to argue about it.

Because it's part of M365 and the company is already paying for us to have access. And they block all the others. So I only use the others when I'm on my personal computer or I drop the VPN on the work computer.
