What happened to the old days of only getting one chance to f-up? Once chance and they should be gone permanently.

I remember ten years ago telling our so-called leaders that the data will get leaked from LastPass. They were all gung-ho about it being secure blah de blah. Luckily most of us don't work there anymore.

The bulk output of "AI" is pure slop without constraints. Eventually the volume of slop is so bad that people just stop engaging. It's why AI free zones will thrive but those admitting AI slop are doomed to die painful and horrible deaths in the long run.

Is it the case that housing was previously just very cheap and this is the normal price?

I thought Albania still had concrete bunkers around the coast to keep unwanted invaders OUT.

Sounds like a total chump. Why do these individuals spew these utterances voluntarily? I'm guessing it is something driven from an internal company decision so this individual now has to evangelize it as gospel to the naysayers.

Quite interesting comment. Did this group of folk not have access to a computer? Did they use Chrome or Safari?

This does make me chuckle. The workers for facebook inc. who make write the very software that spies on everybody is up in arms about being spied on. They forget what a grifter that the Zuck is.

Anybody that advocates like this should be the first to sign up for 24x7x365 monitoring. That also includes all their family.

I work to live and not to make a billionaire even richer off my back. The rank and file who are clued in don't spew this dross but those with most to gain do. You can always tell those with skin in the game.

It's the only way to get noticed above all the other flaff out there. Youtube is full of such soundbites.

We're janitors at best and I don't mean to disrespect janitorial who do real and very important work. Fixing AI slop doesn't feel real.
