<p>I guess I'll play devil's advocate here, don't shoot me.<p>Over the course of my career I've had to deal with multiple hacks, DDOSes, and even situations working with the FBI.  It's a mess, and extremely frustrating and unfair to those of us who are just trying to do a good job and make a living.  Those of you who are throwing stones at Microsoft's coding, how confident are you that your code is safe from this new AI age?<p>Obviously MS handled this poorly, even after reading this article it's not clear how MS handles bug bounties.  But that doesn’t mean this “researcher” deserves a pass.<p>Releasing 0-days, especially working exploit code for unpatched vulnerabilities, is extremely unethical. It has real potential to cause a lot of harm to regular engineers, and users who had nothing to do with the dispute.</p>

<p>The low latency is more of a pain point than a good thing, the way they have it implemented.  Trying to have a casual conversation with it, as humans we naturally pause, and GPT will take this as you are "done" and start blabbing away.<p>I also suffer from finding the appropriate word I want as I've gotten older and slower, and this fast-voice-gpt just ends up frustrating me more than helping.  I have to sit there and think out the whole sentence in my head before I say anything -- not very natural.</p>

<p>I blame the prevalence of package mangers in the first place.  Never liked em, just for this reason.  Things were fine before they became mainstream.  Another annoying reason is package files that are set to grab the latest version, randomly breaking your environment.  This isn't just npm of course, I hate them all equally.</p>

<p>While visiting a friend in Russia I was perplexed by the candle in his flat - it had zero flicker, was stable and unmoving.  Eventually I learned how they heated the flat, with water flowing through pipes and heat radiation - so little to no air movement.</p>

<p>We didn't set out to hide our GDPR requests, we put them behind our Support/Legal button.  But we got sued anyway, and we lost.<p>Now we have to have the "delete my data" and "request my data" as part of our main settings list.  Result: flooded with requests.  People are clicking the buttons just because they are there.  For me it's not a big deal, I automate all the requests.  But, I still feel like this went too far.</p>

<p>I wouldn't.  The current theories on sleep and "brain needs sleep" always struck me as a stopgap theory.  Even spent some time with GPT arguing about it and never felt fully convinced, like the real reason was still missing.</p>
