The actual education can be useful. I dont think my masters degree has ever landed me job. But I would not have been able to deliver many of the things that got me a leadership position, nor be as capable as an engineer as I am today without the experience. The milage obviously varies greatly here based on where one goes.

I mean its as private as VPNs are and people pay for those too.

Its funny because Kagi apparently also uses Google, and Microsoft and other threads were complaining about it.

It sounds like they use everything to give their subscribers good results. Which is what it sounds like I am paying for.

If they notice. Again, a printed version of the contract that is signed has no evidence of the attack. The attack is on getting your legal LLM to hallucinate specific things of what you are signing.

I doubt a judge will look favorable on people saying "but my LLM said it was 1k"... cause they are known to hallucinate.

When every AI company does it from multiple data centers... yes it's distributed.

Land is scarce. Also, generally, property taxes are paid to the city/county that makes that land desirable to live in.

Like usual the answer is it made it easy to use. Think Linux and Windows. You have a customized Linux setup kind of agent. Open claw is the easy install wizard assisted version of that that the masses can easily setup.

It's nothing new, its just the old stuff packaged together and pre-configured.

Cause it was written by AI.the entire mid section is classic AI slop writing. Repeating the same points and numbers over and over, repackaging the same idea with "key takeaway" and shit. The voice of the author is heavily AI coded there.

> I don't know, manufacturing seems to have learned pretty well that they can ship everything overseas and people will eventually accept products just aren't made the same way they used to be.

I mean this is true, but we aren't talking about the consumer here. We're talking about the industry which is to say the powerful people who own and run all these companies.

What has happened is that those overseas countries now have all the experienced engineers over there and they know it. So you see things like the Trump admin begging Korean companies to keep their workers in the US because they understand how to actually do these things. And the reason the Trump admin did that is because they owe favors to the rich people who want to profit off of factories in the US.

> But it clearly doesn't work if you just hand it out and hope for the best.

I actually think if they did just give 100k to homeless people a year that it would actually solve itself.

The problem is they give 100k to grifters who say they'll do something about it.

And of course an attacker like this has a high likelihood of being a state actor, comfortably secure in their native jurisdiction.

> Like, for example, evidence that the author actually takes security issues seriously and has a formal way to announce them.

Personally I think there is a business model in there. "Curated" code releases/versions by a trusted third party you pay to review all the code. It would be a boring job, like being an auditor.

Bonus points, you can pay an "ethical" one that then tries to get money to the OSS devs of libraries that their clients demand the most.

And that's intersectionalism. I think the missing piece of this article is that every relationship is going to be unique. Where in the case relevant a woman manager can go 'oh yea, autism' and adjust their behavior with that employee (because as this article tries to describe, the autistic employee probably doesn't even understand the difference in behavior unless they spend time focusing on it, and even then they probably won't care).

But my point is that we should accept diversity, and the intersectional interactions that will come from it.

> I know his partner consented to this, but this doesn't seem like it should be enough to make this not identity fraud.

Most crimes require an intent to commit the crime, with notable exceptions (possession).

His intent was not fraud, it was security research. As demonstrated by getting the permission of the potential victim, and carefully avoiding things like forgery.

Not everyone gets there in one step. A lot of people have the problem described by the parent because they don't have these insights yet.
