Reply to comment by Juliuseizure in Are AI chatbots off the rails or doing just what they were designed to do? by Ssider69
Well sometimes their responses go a bit more off the rails if your prod them, but it's like any software bug.. they're not a perfect product.
I don't know why they got so much flak for imperfections, it's kinda like a very knowledge person you can ask questions from, or a search on the internet, they're not gonna give you the correct answer every time, but a lot of the time it's pretty good

Chatgpt is already better than Google searching ever was. Sure, idiots are going to coax stupid answers out of the things, but there no reason to not develop the tools because idiots are gonna ruin everything no matter what we do. Maybe as well have some good tools available to make use of.

Is it because the hackers refuse to go to the office? I can't blame them. I like a Danny Trejo face in a movie but at my place of work, everyday? f that shit.

Why not? i think it totally makes sense to pay those assholes and trust they will stop being assholes just because they promised. And of course they won't ask for more later on.
Right? Riiight?

Sites managers who do not wish their content to be indexed have to update a file present on pretty much every website in existence named robots.txt. They should also decorate their pages with a tag named 'noindex' for the case where a third party site links to your pages. All major web indexes will honor either or both settings.

If you can open it in safe mode turn off memory integrity. I was having constant BSOD cycle on boot up until I turned that off. Still have not found a solution yet.

I mean yes, someone is paying Google to direct pregnant women to anti-abortion groups, but the claim still seems to stand.

I feel like I would get a lot more out of your post if I knew what TPM was.

Maybe. I've seen BitLocker enable on the BYOC Framework laptops and an Acer laptop I have at home with fresh Windows installs. The Frameworks came without OEM editions of Windows, and unbundled keys. The only device I'd think would have BitLocker enabled by default would be the NuVision 8" Signature tablet, which shipped with Windows 10 originally.
The systems without BitLocker enabling automatically would be my desktops.

100, due to nature of fractions and our pesky base 10 math, is the highest percentage possible. There's just no way around it. If you think you gave it your all last time but this time you really gave 110%, no, you didn't. THAT was your 100%. (And it probably wasn't even your 100% because that's what people say when they want you to think they did more than they actually did.)
And that's what grinds my gears.

I'm with group of assembled numbers. The good of everyone is a societal problem, what's good for myself is an individual one. If the government is telling me not to wear masks in a pandemic, they have failed their end of the bargain and have done society a disservice. It is now my problem. I'm gonna go buy some masks and flip the ole red white and blue the bird.

what do you mean? software has always been requiring features from hardware to work properly.
EDIT: I'm genuinely curious here, would someone kindly answer me instead of just downvoting? I don't mind the downvote, but none has answered my question so far...

And Google then should have pointed them to Adsense if they want back.
It’s only fair.

He certainly had access to experts who understood that I have no doubt tried to impress on him the reality of what would happen.
But he saw his problem "Journalists need money" and tried to find a way to treat a foreign company as a cash pinata for that need even though they had neither the justification or even the necessary leverage to do it.
He's a smart guy and definitely had the matter explained to him. Problem is you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. There's another saying that doesn't perfectly apply in this situation but is definitely in the same vein: "Don't bother trying to make a man understand something that his paycheck depends on not understanding".

>If you abandon your principles as soon as its convenient then you don't actually have any principles.
And if your principles get people killed, then having principles is demonstrably not virtuous.
>Besides, wearing a mask wasn't going to kill anyone to begin with so your hypothetical is kinda useless.
It was going to deprive medical professionals of masks, which would lead to them getting sick and causing a shortage of healthcare professionals in the face of an unknown and deadly pandemic threat. Yes--it was going to. My hypothetical wasn't a hypothetical--it was an objective description of what was going to happen and what they avoided.

>You're arguing for the principle of freedom of speech, but the moment any principle causes more harm than good, that principle should be immediately abandoned.
If you abandon your principles as soon as its convenient then you don't actually have any principles. Besides, wearing a mask wasn't going to kill anyone to begin with so your hypothetical is kinda useless.

That's about the most laughable opinion I've heard in a while. A long while.
Never paid much attention to the Atlantic but I'm gonna assume they're a garbage rag now.
