Great concept. If I owned a failing business, I'd use an LLM to create fake communication records so I could sell them to AI companies. Shouldn't be too difficult to create a fake message trail, then run a script that checks basic time ordering of timestamps and dates.

It's gonna be an ironic bitch when AI finds the real company went bankrupt and closed, but the fake company they were running on an LLM filed for an IPO in the Metasphere after making $100 million last year writing fake communication records for bots pretending to be meatsack workers.

Train models mostly on the communications of failed businesses... What could go wrong?

80% of new businesses fail within the first 3 years.

If you were starting a new business, would you NOT want to know all of the ways to help mitigate an 80% chance of failure?

Are not exactly private, as your HR will make it very clear. But I do hope someone spends the time to adequately review all those chats and emails to make sure no private client information leaks out... Right?

Quite a few years ago, I was called up for jury duty on a Federal case involving a restaurant chain and several accusations of sexual misconduct and harassment against a manager. Probably half a dozen women involved in the case, with this taking place years after the fact. Meaning the people involved had established their lives in society with jobs, relationships, loans, credit, etc.

The defense brought in half a dozen volumes of evidence in 3" binders. Time cards, employee records, all manner of documentation. Literally hundreds of pages, and not a single one of them were sanitized to remove private and sensitive information. Full legal names, birth dates, and social security numbers. All completely irrelevant to the case.

By day 2, I had enough. I wrote a letter to the judge, who proceeded to order a recess for the day and force the defense to sanitize every document, proving at some point in history people still listen to privacy concerns.

I was also that "weird" IT guy trying to format and sanitize the server hard drives before the auction gaveled them away during the .bomb. To answer your question, I seriously doubt anyone is going to give a shit enough. My actions, were voluntary.

These guys are just amateurs. Everyone knows that when you want to introduce some new Orwellian technology its use is to catch pedophiles and stop terrorists and drug dealers. Ticket scalpers? Give me a break!

After years of Al Capone running violent bootlegging operations out of Chicago during Prohibition, they finally arrested him on tax evasion.

Comedians are, in fact, a more credible source of news than TV news or newspapers. They generally pay more attention to what's actually happening in the world.

Makes sense to an extent. The best comedians use observational humor, and will make you laugh and think.

That said, comedians are merely another group that isn’t sponsored to warp Truth for Profit. Anyone could deliver factual news reporting if they wanted to AND if the audience actually gave a shit about being informed with facts.

The latter is the real problem, and sums up why MENSA isn’t delivering the news. They gave up on humanity long ago. Now we need a humor specialist just to deliver anything close to the horrors of truth and fact to an idiocratic society seemingly hell-bent to demand anything but.

An idiocratic audience, is why Charlie Clickbait and Viral Veronica work for mainstream news now.

There are a lot of technical topics on /. I don't understand, but the point here is that they use an abbreviation like 20 times in a summary without ever defining it. If you use an abbreviation in technical writing (including a summary), you should define it the first time you use it. There may be some very common abbreviations that don't require defining, but this is not one of them.

I do understand your point, but there is also the grammatical concept of knowing your audience.

CVEs, have been around since last century. How long before you figure a Common Vulnerability list on a planet run by computers riddled with bugs, is Common enough for Nerds? The irony smacks in the acronym. Hard.

Bets on how long it takes some Republican congressperson to suggest this is the only way we can be sure that illegals aren't voting?

Bets on how quickly a 1990s Democrat would file a class action against Republicans for threatening to take their patented idea for curbing illegal immigration.

Hey, doesn't Obama own that patent? Pretty sure the Deporter in Chief would have earned that.

Not a single word can explain the American who believed an Open Border Czar operating freely for four years, would result in zero consequences for that delusional stance. And let's not forget what could avoid your theory; Democrats could simply understand that assuming a part of their constituency is far too dumb or incapable of obtaining an ID card while enforcing ID laws against every other citizen, is fucking insulting.

This is just a GUI change. Windows already supports mounting these larger drives and already supports formatting these larger drives on the command line. Nothing about the actual spec is changing.

What you casually call a GUI "change", I would more call an error/bug in need of correction, long overdue.

How long have the other methods built into Windows, functioned properly in supporting these larger drives again?
