My first thought, how many Trump people just front ran this?

Forgive me...how is this different than taxes?

And wouldn't it be better to oh, I don't know, enforce the standard corporate tax rate?

I'm no AI apologist, but for one, this is how investments, particularly speculative investments, work. They're investing money now in the _hopes_ of a future return. It's pretty early days still. Secondly, of _course_ the huge AI players are doing everything they can to overpromise and convince corporations to throw cash at them to keep the party going.

I think the real problem is, it's just a bit too early, but every CEO out there dreams of being lauded for their visionary take on AI, and nobody wants to miss the bus. It's high-leverage tech, so if it (some day) does what it's supposed to do, and you miss making the investment at the right time, you're done.

It's all a question of are the founders still in power or not. Especially at a time when the company is actively looking for a cheap last-resort acquisition, I'd expect all the possible external funding to have been pumped in, at less-than-ideal terms, and diluted the founders' slice.

I've personally worked at a startup that forcibly ejected its founders. It happens.

(The startup got sold for scraps about 6 months later. The service I personally worked on kept streaming video for about a year with zero maintenance, only failing when the hardware was physically powered off. This was well after the main database had collapsed, and the web UI was inoperable, while iframe embeds kept chugging along.)

Browser reading mode is an easy workaround.

> easy_install

I don't know what guides you're reading but I haven't touched easy_install in at least a decade. It's successor, pip, had effectively replaced all use cases for it by around 2010.

Those people will go back to doing whatever they would have been doing before the technology revolution, which actually wasn’t so long ago… Like maybe go work at a shipyard. We can only build two ships a year it seems…

Gotta exaggerate a bit to get attention :D

But I think I'm getting to the point where "If I'd let an intern/junior dev have access while I'm watching then I'm probably OK with Claude having it too"

The thing that annoys me about a lot of infosec people is that they have all of these opinions about bad practice that are removed from the actual 'what's the worst that could happen here' impact/risk factor.

I'm not running lfg on a control tower that's landing boeing 737s, but for a simple non-critical CRUD app? Probably the tradeoff is worth it.

>1) Have faith (always run it with 'dangerously skip permissions', even on important resources like your production server and your main dev machine.

I thought the article was a satire after I read this ... but it wasn't!
