This is such a stupid article.

Problem

Don't have to do anything, there'll be a download.

BUT OH NO, NO UPDATES UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED.

But oh wait, the problem will literally be solved in the next fucking update.

These stupid articles will keep stupidly rolling out until that cheapskate hires a fucking PR team for his fortune 500 company like a person with a functioning brain.

Why? IMO any content created by ChatGPT should not be taken into account when grading students' assignments since the student didn't create it in its final form with their brain (same reason why I feel that quotes by other people (unless using as an example and not to argue in favour of your own point), spellcheckers, and Grammarly should not be used by students for assignments that affect their grades, but can be used to learn how to write better), so there should be no benefit to using such content.

That’s part of the issue but it’s also a result of changing tactics. A whole ecosystem of hacker for hire companies have sprung up and among them are initial access brokers. They gain access to a network and often sit for months, slowly expanding access and collecting information to sell to other hackers for them to exploit. A few years ago the average time between an attacker gaining a foothold and exploitation was 5 hours. It’s grown to 9 months today.

It doesn't matter if it creates it from something or from "nothing" the reason a computer can't be creative is that it lacks initiative, a person must direct it to create for it to happen.

No free will = no creativity

A person will always be the one responsible for the works existence because they will have to initiate it somehow.

I ran into an old coworker who was now manager of the NOC a couple years back and he offered me my old Tier 3 gig back ( I would’ve failed, been out for 5 years and all certs had lapsed) with a raise and I turned him down so fast it wasn’t funny.

I was the de facto on duty Incident Manager, they wouldn’t allow me to move into that role full time (with a 6 figure raise btw) so yeah. You have to really like abuse or the NOC to deal with it.

I occasionally think to myself maybe I’d like to go back to IT then I realize no matter how bad my life gets, it’s bette than working in IT.

There was a time I was going to make myself the NOC manager (I wrote and managed all our NOC software and Splunk dashboards). Then I realized it would have been one of the most thankless jobs while still having people to manage; also being the first point of major business contacts for big outages.

I quit shortly after. I had never even had a vacation until that point in 10 years.

Most images generated with AI do not look interesting. People generate a fantasy girl, mario as a dwarf, some space car, funny sometimes, but it gets boring easily.

It is actually not so easy to generate something interesting with it. The most imaginary images are created by people who were already artistic, and they use their knowledge with this new tool. Mostly changing elements afterwards or combining images.

For photography it is the same, 99,999% of images are nothing more than snapshots. And it is so easy, just one click. But it takes an artistic eye to make something more of it.
