@mcc And that's at the moment when a significant jurisdiction is introducing more or less unlimited liability for software bugs.

Good idea to downgrade the code monkeys from badly trained humans to stochastic automatons.

@mcc Sure.

I lived like a small king for a decade, fixing under time pressure the worst f%ckups human developers at my customers have produced. Harsh is the existence of an IT consultant.

Bring them on, the LLM AIs that have problems to count, I'm sure there will be absolutely no flood of subtle one-off bugs, in code that no one at the customer even understands because it was generated by a magic LLM.

The number of experts won't raise, the size of code that stinks OTOH.

@tante
Literally illegal under the product liability directive just passed in the EU.

Literally raises the bar on legally implied warranty on software. And they removed the maximum damage sum. So in theory of your software causes billions in damages you are liable.

I spent some time in a Catholic boarding school. They don't do that here. They teach science, evolution, and offered also Protestant religious classes.

The only thing that was frowned upon was putting out of religion classes, so they made sure to schedule them always during the day never at the start/end.

Now that I think about it, that was usually the policy at state run schools too.

@WarnerCrocker Well, it's a rumour that seems to have originated on Reddit.

@WarnerCrocker @steter That's why #King #Weirdo needs generals as loyal as Hitlers'.

@steter
You do realize that these "hobbies" are only for the elites
Plus in this case in leader weirdo has the additional benefit of getting an AG on whom he has ready to use unpopular kompromat.

Who wants to bet that weirdo's AG Will be loyal this time like a well chosen lap dog?

@glynmoody It's called tourism.

Imagine the following alternative:

souvenirsdiroma.it offers you a complete set of individual selfies with Rome's historic backgrounds, just for €99,99, just upload a dozen of your selfies, our advanced AIs will do everything else, 15 minutes later you can download your fully genuine souvenirs. And for just €25 per person more (available in selected cities), we deliver you a true Italian dinner to your home.

How loud would the tourism industry howl?

@sjvn Oh, the Founding Fathers had quite a bit of crooks in their midst. Slaveholders even.

Not sure if you are helping the situation by idolizing the old white men who founded the USA.

To cite John Adams, one of the Founding Fathers about themselves:

“I have no reason to believe that We were better than you are. We had as many poor Creatures and selfish Beings …”

Last but not least, never forget, their own “leaders”, as they're on top of their social orders, don't have to follow their own rules.

(That's true, more or less, for anything on the right of the middle, conservatives have a very similar idea of social order.)

Hence, e.g. in Germany, Alice Weidel, one of the leaders of the fascist #noafd : a queer, a married to a brownie Asian wife, living outside Germany and even the EU.

@shuttersparks @billyjoebowers
Yes, but please spank them, without spanking the rest of the planet.

@dangillmor #Trump has the cure for that.

Dismantle the CDC.

@ekis @GhostOnTheHalfShell

How to put it nicely.

Nobody yet has managed to produce a self-contained ecosystem hermetically sealed, especially not one capable of supporting humans.

Long term space exploration literally hangs on this, so this has been researched.

So #Naziboy managed to build a rocket to fly to Mars. There his crew gets fried by the radiation, and as mentioned, they need their groceries regularly delivered from Mother Earth.

@WarnerCrocker Sorry on this BTW I'm fully on the side of they deserve a double serving of what they've voted for.

And you know politics is not about "self-interests", it's very much about emotions.

Feeling good about being better than that ugly foreigner down in the mud.

Conservatives provide that "stable social order", including some victims down in the order below you who you can kick. For purely practical purposes, foreigners without a vote make a perfect bottom layer.

@WarnerCrocker Didn't they learn anything from the famous Steel Tariffs Donny the Great enacted.

They were great for a couple of US steel producers or so.

They also raised the price level of steel in the USA.

Which made basically any other US manufacturer of goods that had steel as an input non-competitive on the world market. Overnight. And without additional tariffs on the US market.

Who paid for the clusterf%ck. The US consumer, and US workers.

@CarmenSD11235 @trisweb @ericleamen
Because your constitution and laws are little, how to say, are a bit archaic.

Just because you had some democracy & rule of law in the 18th century, does not mean that it's still good quality democracy & rule of law in the 21st century.

Think of it like the Ford T of democracy.

Funny that makes me think of that old fascist Ford, who literally supported the German Nazis with quite a bit a cash.

@glynmoody Let's be honest here.

It's not even #trump

No true #GOP #conservative administration would dream of enforcing these little rules on a billionaire.

They are the top layer of monied nobility of the USA, and obviously, laws shouldn't apply to them.

@geist Dr. Goebbels hat, glaube ich, schon etabliert, dass man eine Lüge nur oft genug wiederholen muss, auf einem Reichweiten-starken Kanal.

Und die Leute haben Julius Streicher auch geglaubt, obwohl er auch keine sinnvollen Argumente hatte.

Und die Ausländerhetze funktioniert auch, obwohl bei den meisten Problemen, die man den Ausländern auf die Füße wirft, ein Vierteljahrhundert neoliberale Sparpolitik eher ursächlich ist.

@br00t4c
But #CSAM is covered under the #Elonmusk personal #freedomofspeech warranty.

So #dodo cannot comply with these freedom children safety laws of Australia, especially as doing so would be costly.

Any regulation that costs money is a freedom issue for an old #libertarian #fascist like #Elon #Naziboy #musk

Wrong question: how the can you trust your supply chain?

Why do you trust Microsoft with your OS? I mean they do have a stellar record providing great security, do they?

What Intel? Security bugs multiple times per year. Luckily the fixes usually only slow down your PC.

And the government agencies given the job making the IT safe are commonly also tasked with spying on the IT. That's letting the fox guard the chickens.
