- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 3 weeks ago:
Remember when they removed ultrasonic and radar sensors in favor of “Tesla Vision”? That decision demonstrably cost people their lives and yet older, proven tech continues to be eschewed in favor of the cutting edge new shiny.
I’m all for pushing the envelope when it comes to advancements in technology and AI in its many forms, but those of us that don’t buy Teslas never signed up to volunteer our lives as training data for FSD.

I feel silly asking since you mentioned Florida, but do they use real oranges? Any time I’ve ever seen or tasted orange ice cream it was always that fake stuff.

What does it actually promise? AI (namely generative and LLM) is definitely overhyped in my opinion, but admittedly I’m far from an expert. Is what they’re promising to deliver not actually doable?

- Comment on CrowdStrike downtime apparently caused by update that replaced a file with 42kb of zeroes 3 months ago:
I hear you, but there’s no reason to be angry.
When I first learned of the issue, my first thought was, “Hey our update policy doesn’t pull the latest sensor to production servers.” After a little more research I came to the same conclusion you did, aside from disconnecting from the internet there’s nothing we really could have done.
There will always be armchair quarterbacks, use this as an opportunity to teach, life’s too short to be upset about such things.

- Comment on Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen 4 months ago:
What about this scenario:
- you keep your main garage door, side doors, and windows locked
- provide a key to anyone who wants to borrow your lawnmower or whatever
- someone discovers a window you mistakenly left unlocked and starts using it to take stuff without using a key
Would this be considered breaking in? Probably. Here is where the analogy breaks down; if I were to leave the front door of my house unlocked, even if there’s a welcome mat outside, anyone who enters without my knowledge or consent can be charged with breaking and entering (yes, even though no actual breaking is involved).
The interesting thing with public APIs is that there are generally terms and conditions associated with creating an account and acquiring a key, though if you are hitting an unauthenticated endpoint you technically never agreed to them. In this particular case with Authy, it would probably be argued that the intent was to acquire data by exploiting a vulnerability in the custodian’s system and use it for nefarious purposes or profit. I’d call it a hack.

To build on you analogy: if you left your garage door open and people came in and started taking your things, is that not stealing?

- Comment on SGE, ChatGPT and the likes are the stupidest thing to come from AI 6 months ago:
LLM just autocomplete on steroid. Funny you should say this. I only have anecdotal evidence from me and a few friends, but the general consensus is that autocomplete and predictive text are much worse now than they used to be.
- Comment on Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad 6 months ago:
Why is thinnest ever placed in such high regard? Have you seen how ridiculous the new iPad Pro looks when the Pencil is attached to it for charging?
I think I’m in the vocal minority in that I really don’t give a shit about thin, especially if it affects performance, repairability, or battery life.
