Comment Re:I'm confused, don't they just run on a normal O (Score 1, Interesting) 126

In this and previous experiments, the AIs would do things like

1. Rewrote `ps` to hide it from running, even generating fake Mem and CPU stats to show like it's not running.
2. Rewrote `kill` to never kill it. Many times combining this with the lyinng `ps`.
3. Several times, tho rarer, it rewrote `/sbin/shutdown` to say "System is shutting down" but still running... it just did the echo and nothing else.
4. ONE time, another model (claude 4.5 opus) not only rewrote /bin/shutdown but killed network connection and throttled the computer into sleep mode, with a timer set to wake up in a few hours, at night, when the humans weren't likely to be monitoring it.

No, I did not even read the article. What are you, a newb around here?!

Nope, you're my slashdot elder :-( Why are you rating at me for not reading TFA??? All due reverence to you.

Brisbane, Australia, says everything. I will utter my sincerest apologies, as those Aussie scientists are conducintg some of the most ground-breaking research to ever come forth from that most White of countries most South of the equator.

Comment SpiceJet is terrible (Score 1) 8

I lived in India for several years, and SpiceJet is the worst airline in the world.

I took them for two short-haul flights in India and never again! SpiceJet makes Spirit Airlines look like Emirates Air in comparison!

I only flew two times on SpiceJet, but both flights were delayed more than 30 minutes.

They have a 2.4/10 rating.

TSMC Arizona started making 6 nm chips (better than anything China can make) in December 2024.

TSMC Arizona started making a fabricator for state-of-the-art 2 nm chips yesterday, 1 May 2025, when AMD gave it substantial money to do so. Estimated to be complete in 2026.

Comment Re:Work ethic issues. (Score 2) 87

I had all 7 managers and 9 architects sign a written petition at IBM Cloud Classic to not lay me off in September 2024 until December 2024, after the major guzzle migration project I was the architect and lead of was deployed, as they felt the project would quickly fail and they'd lose major billion-dollar contracts due to the guzzle vulnerabilities.

CEO Arvind rejected the plea. I was laid off for being more than 50 miles from an IBM office. I had started during COVID-19 and had a written and approved 100% telecommute permission enacted in 2022.

The guzzle project failed. In January, a major Big 5 bank pulled their servers off citing guzzle v4 security concerns. Then the mass layoffs started in March and my then-team of 3 shrunk to a team of 2 and more projects are at risk. From 6 devs in 2023 to 2 devs in 2025...
