Simple. It's a not less fancy way to say "it did this with human input"

Re: disappointing an officer has behaved in a way which could not only discredit the police force

MbO, because it makes sense, you know. Trying to find objectives for Sergeant X...

- Deliver high quality reports - it's too hard to measure.

- Adequately fulfill tasks x, y, z - nah, I'd need to actually understand what Sergeant X is doing.

- Improve process P and Q - what does improve even mean?

- Rate of key stroke - a machine can measure this. It's brilliant! This is it!!

Re: Shame on all of you

...one of Plato's most famous works, The Republic, has lent philopsophical justifdication to a great many dictators...

I'd wager that this is the "improvement" AC is writing about.

Re: why ... would anyone ask an LLM to create a password

...I once thought that a pinnacle of luser was reached with typing in the browsers search field "google.com" to get to google.com. How wrong I was...

Luckily, sometimes this behaviour faces consequences. 2022 EY was fined around USD 100 mio. by the US SEC for some of their staff had been cheating in CPA exams, appropriately in the ethics part of the exam.

Re: Why wasn't the violent idiot fired immediately and the cops called?

I find that well known and oft cited soundbite to be utterly meaningless and redundant

I don't think it is meaningless nor redundant. But it's more difficult to clearly define "consequences" than what is already covered within criminal law for hate speech, instigating violence etc. For example, if I spread racist shit, which may still be within legal limits and not punishable, I might face consequences of losing my job, my reasonable friends, being rejected from doing business... and at least in my jurisdiction it will be difficult for the racist shit spreader to win an anti-discrimination law suit under this circumstances.

Re: yes ... 1000000000000000000000%

I get your point. But the difference is that the entity producing and selling the car (not necessarily selling directly to the customer) does indeed fully understand" how the car works. Whether the salesperson understands it, is irrelevant.

*_{Given the issues my car has with its entertainment system, I do wonder whether the manufacturer fully understands it. Well, it's a piece of software...}

Re: Ask

No. And neither did they ask themselves or anyone or anything else.

"...when did they abandon reason for madness?!"

Re: Locked comment voting

Instead of commenting to a random article, you've got more of a chance of being heard when you write them: contact El Reg

An Italian acquaintance really likes to go to the bitch, a white, sandy bitch.

But an English teacher for foreign students once amused me with a anecdote of one of her students, a German business man, who used to talk about his "very impotent client".

Re: Airport transfer

ICE will arrange the return journey.

Re: AI scraping AI, model collapse?

...they are beyond hope and it is too late to try to explain...

I know. But I cannot just cull them, can I?

Re: The Register is just another American propaganda tool

I'm a thorough atheist but Jesus Freaking Christ! Some people here need to take their medication. Or get off the interwebs. Guys, it's not healthy to consume that amount of misinformation. It's enough that in real life I already have to deal with some "conspirationalised" people and some I like to call Putin's Suppositories.

Re: I recently 'dined' at Luton Airport

Nope. Few months later, when you use the same e-mail address to create an account somewhere else, you get a pop-up informing you that this e-mail address was compromised in a data breach.
