"This will help me become president FOR SURE!" he said, then spun the little spinny propeller on his beanie cap.

Eat shit, 6-year-old

He's already being prosecuted. Pull out the gun or shut the fuck up, pissbaby

"Oh, I'm not a sapiosexual myself, but I am a know-it-ally."

Oh jesus christ. Powerful men do not need weird nerds jumping in front of their bullets. The guy is a fucking shitshow.

Not the plant you think, though.

I'm confused why backups would even matter. Are the servers physically hosted in Mali and the government seized them?

Because if the government just invalidated the domain, that's completely different. In that case a server device with everything on it still exists in the same place it always did, it's just DNS that has changed.

(And yes, I understand that losing the domain name and the certs attached to it would be a big deal, but there's no data loss, hence no need to pull from backups.)

Ah, 25 million per child? Finally a fine big enough to make a tech company feel conseque--

[Touches earpiece] one moment, I'm getting an update--

Sometimes the only requirement IS to have words on a page. Think about a disaster recovery plan, for example. Now, you probably don't want an LLM to write your disaster recovery plan, but it's a perfect example of something where the main value is that you wrote it down, and now you can be certified that you have one.

This is a legitimate use case for LLM, though.

Not everyone can communicate clearly. Not everyone can summarize well. So the panel on the right is great for the people on the other end, who must read your poorly-communicated thoughts.

At the same time, some things must look like you put careful thought and time into your words. Hence, the panel on the left.

And if people on both sides are using the tool to do this, who's really hurt by that?

I love this, John, but for pete's sake please go find a writer on the picket lines to write these, this is such a mess to read.

YSK that most of these have an expiration date (and should have an expiration date). Checking the box says trust this device that I'm currently using, for a while, thus:

• if you use another device to log in (e.g. switch from mobile to desktop browser), you will need to do it again, because security is tied to your ownership of the device, and
• if you continue to use the same device for more than--usually--a month, you'll be asked again because there's a possibility your device got stolen or compromised in the meantime.

In short, most of the time you'll have to do this once a month, or more if you're using more than one device, and that's nominally to protect you.

However, yes, a significant portion of these are just implemented by dummies, and don't work.

The particularly annoying ones for me are the ones on bill pay sites. If they work for a month, that doesn't help me. I only pay my bills once a month.
