"Newly walled towns are a sign of shrivelling state authority" was my thought when I saw the walled off Capitol.

It is sad when the government needs walls to protect itself from its own people, a sign of weakness. To add to the irony the Capitol used to be, quite literally, the "people's house."

Children can buy their own devices. School issued devices are not under parent control. Parental controls and school controls are laughable. There is no incentive for OS vendors/retailers to provide robust solutions to this problem. PII industry is essentially pushing regulatory capture.

Sounds like presenting no patterns, apparently or otherwise, would be a pattern in itself.

Archival optical media is likely much better than any kind of open groove technology.

Vinyl is not great for archiving. It degrades and is affected by dust.

You could just sell old vinyl with new labels and sleeves and they would be none the wiser.

Libraries, Google and YouTube were/are not nearly as efficient at conveying _targetted_ _actionable_ expertise as AI is.

"I'm finding LLMs also competent at explaining and giving advice on other domain stuff I'm totally new to, which I have cross-checked with Legal/Product Managers and is usually right."

"Usually" is the keyword. Until it becomes "always" (counterintuitive for heuristic systems) or "almost always" some human experts will (/may?) be needed to babysit.

P.S. "_are_ usually right" since they are "LLMs". Methinks running the response through an LLM could've made it more "right".

Hubris much? I don't see a necessary contradiction in using someone's work to disprove another aspect of that same person's work.

What does it mean to be not expensive? How much do all the not very expensive endeavors as up to?

Let's just skip to quantum which models the "real" world in "real" terms.
