@shadowfals If usage is itself harmful, then yeah.
In a sane world, there would be funding to study the psych effects of LLM usage. Until then...
TLDR: What a mess.
@woozle there are studies on this.
Nathan Fielder packing a bag so he’s ready to move in with Jensen Huang
@jalefkowit I just don’t think the two of them staring at each other will have quite the same energy
Hey can we all give Jense Huang a round of applause. He may be an absolute shit bag but so far everyone he has had an affair with... has been an adult!!!
How it feels to focus on anything for more than 30 minutes
@chris I found the thread you started! Really appreciate you not rolling over about this. MST for the rest of our lives feels... bad.
@quaff ty. i feel a bit imposter ish... but apparently, according to the RFC discussion on the list is "The Way" and if there is no consensus then it escalates
Infrastructure is so often a story of eggs and baskets, whereby some have far too many.
It's hard to avoid mentioning that the self-hosted equivs to Teams/365/Outlook I look after are down for no more than an hour a year. This is not unique. It's the same for many others I know, from fellow sysadmins to my own students. It's a fairytale that self-hosted infrastructure is unreliable. Simply not the case when built up with best practices, maintained with sufficient knowledge & care.
@JulianOliver There is a lot to be said for having one basket, and watching it very carefully.

Based on what?
Imagine if Microsoft just... Couldn't fix it.
"we vibe coded for so long, nobody knows how any of it works now. Or should work now. Co-pilot extends its heartfelt apology"
@essjax I'm sure that day is imminent and possibly here right now.
@ai6yr @Viss Think I've mentioned to you before my partner has taken to calling my babble about computers and related "nerd vomit". Anyway they normally goto bed/sleep hours before me. They just asked me, from bedroom, if I was talking to them, was in my office reading and laughed at book was reading, told them that. They said no it was nerd vomit about computers. So now they are dreaming the nerd vomit from me. 🤣 They said it wasn't funny 😇
@CliffsEsport @Viss LOL nerd vomit

I mean besides the ethics and corruption of it, as an adult "professional" I'd just be embarrassed to accept someone else paying my way - other than maybe family. I am thinking of people like Thomas and now some state department person accepting paid vacations. Or Trump weddings, etc. If I cannot afford something, I'd never in a million years have someone else pay for it for me. #USPol #Ethics #Bribes #SCOTUS
To be clear I'm not taking about being invited to stay at someone's holiday home, or out to dinner as a guest. I'm talking about people paying for your airfare, etc. Things that one would normally pay for oneself.
LA Times: Popular California beach closed amid E. coli outbreak
Santa Cruz County officials closed Capitola Beach after at least nine children became ill with E. coli infections linked to likely exposure at the beach or nearby waterways.
Officials are testing water around the popular coastal destination as visitors and pets are urged to avoid ocean, creek and lagoon water; the closure follows a separate, deadly outbreak in San Luis Obispo County.
