>I would guess that the FBI never asks Microsoft for encryption keys without a valid legal order

I keep seeing mentions in the news of FBI agents resigning suddenly.

As I barely passed calculus, I have no idea whatsoever how to prove that the cardinality of the set of legacy media lies is ℵ₁.

In my locale/state/country/timeline, we have something called an "estate sale".

It's like a garage sale, but there are professionals who specialize in doing all the work for a cut of the proceeds, which is nice if you're drained after your parents pass away.

Here is a Wikipedia article on the topic:

>use it to make jobs more efficient

I left IT for the time being, but I ask copilot.microsoft.com a question once in a while to see if we've got to AGI yet.

Today's question (I admit not so creative) was what's the market cap of TSLA.

Its answer was "Tesla Inc. (TSLA) currently has a market capitalization of approximately $429.52 billion USD. This figure is based on the latest trading price of $429.52 per share"

It allegedly used a web search to find this out, and it included a screenshot showing the market cap as $1.4B.

On the other hand, chatgpt.com prudently tells me to go look it up myself, because it doesn't have live data.

I guess OpenAI is winning?

"The closest analogy really goes all the way back to slavery, when you began to have northern states passing law saying we’re not going to comply with fugitive slave statutes"
