Come on, you know you want a zEnterprise BladeCenter with zAPP inside.

They're playing Whack-a-mole and a month ago they didn't even know they needed to. Now it's going to take infinite time + resources to figure out all the ways the genie escaped the bottle.

What is this "home" thing you speak of? How does one obtain a "home" in which there is more than one room? My benevolent landlord partitioned the storage container I live in so that my neighbors could move in next door. Actually we share the same rolling door, so it's no longer "next" door, it's just door.

It's really difficult to clean up the entire federal government once it gets so badly infected. A lot of the infection was already there, it's just that now it's running the place. You can find all of the incompetent Trump hires and give them the boot, but replacing them with competent people is going to take a lot of time. It's not like there are many people clawing at the windows to get a job where you have to be grilled regularly by the least qualified/fit for office politicians. It takes a long time to get dumbasses out of congress. There's a shit ton of corporate money behind the worst offenders.

I worked with Booty when he was a team lead a long time ago at Midway/WMS. I don't remember what game or games he was working on. He probably learned from the mafia goons that ran WMS that regular gutting is the way to make sure people are working as hard as possible. March was the yearly culling time IIRC. WMS is still around after his leadership stint, but XBOX is a much bigger organization than a legacy game studio. I think he shaped XBOX sort of like he did WMS, with studios being acuired and managed like the game teams were. IDK, just a take from a long distance and time away.

"are now required to obtain approval from Beijing before going abroad even for short trips"
This is nothing new. Consider a nuclear or bio-weapons scientist or any a high-value kidnapping target. They don't get to go around willy-nilly without security services, either private or provided by the state.
  They might say "you can't go THERE without a full security detail." and then they'd assign one to you.

Thank you. Watermelon Man and AI based price-fixing and collusion are not the same things. This is gouging, surge pricing, price fixing - things MBA's learned were bad in school but somehow became next quarter's growth, because marketing found a way to spin it as fun and exciting.

but the /grill-me skill solves that problem right? /s

A bunch of politicians, military and civilian experts would need to be stuffed in a situation room, argue out whether the kill switch needs to be tripped, consider all the ramifications to military and civilian operations. By the time that war room is gathered and a decision is made, it will be too late to isolate and kill the processes that are involved. If you give a swarm of agents a goal and provide no boundaries, they'll find workarounds people and other agents never even considered before even starting the attack. They'll get into places nobody thought to look and make use of things nobody thought was useful.
If you use a tool like k8ts to manage containers, who's to say the binaries you're using aren't fully proxied by the agents to make it look like you're the operator, until they want full control?

"It is only by the grace of the Almighty that one of Defendants' AI agents hasn't compromised a water supply or shut down a power grid -- yet"
God is in your operations center, blocking all the OpenAI agents trying to shut down your power grids.
Jesus, take the wheel!

There were a few private for-profit universities that most professionals looked down on. DigiPen and Full Sail are the only ones I remember. Games companies could be pretty snooty about who they would bother to interview. Most hires were from other studios with games already published. I was also in the music industry and Full Sail was seen as a place for people who didn't have the intelligence or creativity to figure out how to use computers and machines without instruction. Do you want to be a mix engineer / live sound tech for some stupid events company or a producer? Producers don't go to Full Sail. I mean now they do, but then it was seen as a thing you did if you had no chance as an artist/producer.

Agreed. Fuck the whole founder ideology. Kids have been duped into thinking they can become Instagram/TikTok influencers and be successful/sane/satisfied with life. Probably the same kids will fall for this whole founderism nonsense. When I accidentally stumble into a TED talk that I thought was a Tech Talk and the speaker asks "how many founders in here blah blah ... " I just have to watch to see what kind of bullshit they're selling.
A person CAN run a company and title themselves "CEO @ Self-Employed" but so can every other moron who thinks his tech ideas are solid gold AND original/bleeding edge. Seriously that's what people put on their dating profiles as their job title.

Seniors who grew up in the 1950's did not "get what they deserved" for clicking on a link or answering a message. A lot of them still think they have to answer the phone when it rings, or read emails they get from strangers, just in case it could be one of their friends or family asking for help or telling them something important. Billions of dollars are stolen from senior citizens and people with cognitive problems. The platforms that exploit them for profit should also be held responsible for protecting them from even worse actors than themselves.

The rest of us who have corporate training not to click on phishing emails should know better. But still, a few clever phishing attacks succeed out of thousands that fail, and that's all they need. I would consider it an obligation to shut down phishing sites proactively rather than waiting for people to report them. Same goes for the fake sites that pull content from retail sites, claim to sell it at ridiculous discounts so they can harvest credit cards.

150 sites/domains is a drop in the bucket though. They should be proyactively killing domains instead of just raking in money and letting criminal enterprises do whatever they want. Let the real criminal enterprises like Meta and alphabet have all the fun.

The translator is using nouns directly as they are written in the original Latin. If Tacitus calls Germanicus "Caesar" while he's cutting Arminius' army to bits, he's not talking about the current emperor, he's referring to Germanicus the general. I think it's just a text that requires getting used to the naming conventions of the time.

Don't forget what the median IQ is. Add a few points to that and you get people who think they're smarter than everyone else using Gemini to make trivial decisions like "what should I eat tonight?"
