Tregetour

What I've learned over the last few years:

• Only academics, commentators and researchers truly care about collective security, where the whole world gains because certain technology and is commonly agreed to be off-the-table
• Everyone else (that is, corporations including government and private enterprise) only cares about zero-sum security - your insecurity is my security gain - but they pretend in their messaging to care about collective security. It explains why nation states continue to demand purpose-built backdoors into hardware and encryption implementations, and why employers are content to treat your mobile phone like their own property, demanding apps, RATs, etc. be installed
• Most cybersecurity is thinly-veiled compliance, and amounts to certified bureaucrats implementing products from that small bunch of vendors with the means to influence policymaking
• The public messaging around security always uses the noun in the abstract, which to me is telling. Security for whom? Security against what? Security for what? See also social media and the term "safety".

Don't worry, I remember this. Would love to see a torrent sometime

Rare Google software W, regardless of the real impetus.

BHM, Pride Week, Cyber Monday, Black Friday, Heritage Day, International Week of the $thing, etc. is just corporate giving its marketers a reason to sign in each morning.

Badda Bing Badda Bang is the best holodeck episode and a DS9 top-ten, and its central conceit has made it more relevant than ever, now there's a common recognition of the value and significance we derive from virtual worlds, and our habit of anthropomorphizing LLMs.

NASA has to interpret the boss's demands. Like every other US public org they're looking for anonymity by being center of the pack.

If you concede your powerlessness, why would you issue them in the first place? I'm reminded of signage in workplace kitchens, requesting that people wipe benches and ensure dishes aren't left in the sink - a conscientious worker will follow it in nearly all cases (either by accident or deliberation), but it's pointless when in front of a careless worker.

I've never understood the progressive left's eagerness to 'claim' pronouns and put them on display. It's silly to believe anyone can possess them. Your being a he or a she is determined by social context. Accept that your ability to enforce a personal preference is limited at best.

20 was the lead engineer 'mishearing' Zuck after he said 2.

I think you got hit with a wrong timing thing

Nah, they're optimizing for the most flanderized LLM training input possible, thus banning by keyword. Countless posts in this community (indeed years of anecdotes across the web) are indicating a trend. I wouldn't be suprised if the likes of knife, fist, smash, etc. start triggering bans

Say it with me, peeps. Tenant on your own land!
