  Who brought Trump into this comparison? Moving the goalposts much?

  I’m not going to give you a list, because I have other things to do, but you can read for yourself under Controversies here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates.

  I was mostly thinking of the decades of anti-trust and “embrace, extend, extinguish”, as well as his sexual harassment of his employees. But I had forgotten that he was besties with Epstein and his wife divorced him after the extent of his endeavors there came out. So I guess child-raping may be on his list too.

  Pretty swell guy.

  Gates was (and arguably still is) an enormous asshole and has only recently started spending money on “charity” and PR to improve his public image (similar to Carnegie). That you’re willing to let him off the hook for all of his past evils only shows that spending a tiny fraction of their I’ll-earned gains on PR will wipe their slate clean and people like you will let them off the hook.

  If you let Gates, Carnegie, etc off the hook for their rotten past, expect future generations to let Musk et al. off the hook once they buy back their reputation when they get old.

  I did that because 2 minute screen lock plus crazy long password requirements made working hell. The alternative was going to be an arduino usb hid device that typed the password when a button was pressed.

  Having unrealistic, bad security rules are counterproductive.

  But they’re also having to fight for more limited funding among a crowd of chatbot “researchers”. The funding agencies are enamored with LLMs right now.

  With even email clients and web browsers running arbitrary and untrusted remote code on a regular basis, that model needs serious reconsideration.
