Re: Seeking a seat at the table

If Windows or Office had the potential to kill lots of innocent people, then I think most people would be pleased if MS made such a constraint.

As it is, you already have MANY products that say "This is not to be used for illegal purposes."

Despite what Trumpians say, killing innocent people is still against international law.

Even cuter that I didn't think I needed to surround that sentence in the tags

<Obviously they spread any operational costs, purchase costs, and engineering costs amongst all customers, but it's bloody frustrating none the less>

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

Fair point.

I was about 21 and quite "young" and naive. Obviously I don't remember much about it, but it was a long rambling call where he ranted about all sorts of stupid shite, enough to make even the insecure little me laugh it off.

Still, when they told me to document it, I didn't have a problem with it, though maybe I should have been told the policy when I started.

As it was, there were actually many credible threats (not directly at me) but at others on the staff, including people coming to the offices and turning violent - all the interview rooms had alarms in them which when activated caused all the guys in the building to swarm in (though most often to the shock of a parent, and their mischievous toddlers who always seem to love pressing the button themselves)

So, it wasn't an environment of complacency - but .. this guy was a stark raving nutter, honest!

But yeah, point taken!

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

Well, not in Wales. The only Uk targets outside NI & England were military bases.

But that's a nit-pic - I can't remember the details now, but it was a long ranting drunken call where he said all sorts of weird stuff.

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

In about 1991 I was temping in the local council tax department in Swansea Council.

One time, I was amusingly telling a colleague about the nutter who phoned earlier that threatened to send his IRA mates to bomb the whole place. It was so laughable, I didn't think twice about it.

However, I was told that I *had* to report this higher up, and mark it on his account.

From that point on, any time his record was looked up, it would flash in red.

Re: intent

About 6 or 7 times now, I've come up with issues that aren't really my domain, involving languages, and protocols I'm not too knowledgeable about, and wasn't interested in learning.

Normally, I'd do the research, and spent time working the problem out, but as these were 2 things I wasn't interested in, I thought I'd test the hype, and give both chatGPT and the Google one a fair crack.

I did it without bias - I talked as I would if I was asking a human the same thing.

Both of them behaved similarly:

- Very helpful, very friendly.

- Overly nice (With both I had to tell them to be honest and blunt, as I asked for critique on some of my proposals, and felt they were being too kind in their responses)

- Forgetfulness - They'd forget some key detail we'd already discussed 10 minutes earlier. Suggesting it again, or rehashing old ideas.

- "Looping" - related the the forgetfulness - they'd offer a solution, didn't work, modified solution, didn't work, propose something different.. didn't work, then finally come back to their original solution, and despite pointing out "we'd already done that" and getting apologies for the oversight, they continued down that "looping" path.

In every situation, I ended up doing the work myself.

Also, the JavaScript heavy use of chatGPT make the browser unusable after about 30 minutes of back and fore conversation.

If it's only good for short and simple things, what's the point?

P.S. I feel guilty saying this about them, because they are both very nice :-) - ChatGPT even suggested I called him "chappy" when I said that "chatGPT" was too formal a name!!

Even ignoring the "Well, he may be a serial killer, but he likes cats" apologetic vibe your post is giving off, it's hard to tell if you're trolling, or if you are really so caught up in your alt-right (well, these days, that could just be considered "right") bubble you actually believe that bullshit.

Twitter toes Musks line. On the days he and Trump aren't having a playground spat, that would also be the Trump line.

Whilst Trumps Gestapo ignore court orders, and tramples on the constitution, whilst criticising Trump, ICE, or Israels genocide can get you deported, Musk calls everyone else a fascist for trying to hold him to account.

The fact that Musk and Trump are in the Epstein files, yet you complain about the UK not investigating unreported crimes is the height of cultish behaviour.

I don't think anyone here wants grooming rape gangs to go unpunished, whatever the colour of their skin (although you don't say it, you obviously mean just those with a darker complexion), though you're half right - the right wing media is completely silent when the perpetrators are white and English.

By the way, anonymous state cucking NPC (who does it for free), there's a hell of a lot of projection going on there!

I'd love to see twitter shut-down for all the propaganda, bullshit, and enticement to violence and terrorism, that it's lies provide to the hard-of-thinking alt-right numptys, probably just as strongly as those on the right want to shut down (or buy off) any media company that exposes your lies.

I'm not even going to mention your climate denial bullshit - that trope has sailed long ago.

Anyway, well done for standing up for your beliefs...... anonymously!

Re: FUCK ICE

Because they're illegal immigrants, government is expected to do something and remove them. Protestors, which includes the Demorats don't seem to want to do this, thus effectively supporting illegal activity.

Stop doing this. Despite your embarrassing use of "demorats" you're not that stupid. You know full well that more immigrants were sent home under Obama than Trump. Even Biden beat Trump.

The Obama administration created immigration enforcement priorities to channel limited resources towards individuals it deemed to be high priorities, including threats to national security, threats to public safety, and recent illegal entrants. Departing from this approach, the Trump administration sought to consider all undocumented immigrants high priorities for removal, expanding the categories so broadly as to render the priorities meaningless."

These broad enforcement priorities translated to more arrests and deportations of less serious offenders and fewer arrests and deportations of more serious offenders.

According to ICE data, the monthly number of level 3 (misdemeanors) offenders detained climbed from 6,000 in March 2015 to 9,500 in April 2019. At the same time, the number of level 1 (felony and aggravated felony) offenders detained decreased from 7,500 to 6,000. Additionally, an estimated 1 in 10 undocumented individuals arrested during FY2017 had neither a criminal conviction or charge. By targeting the entire undocumented population rather than those who posed threats, the Trump prioritization policy faced criticism for wasting resources.

So, if as you say, the Democrats don't even want to do this, Trump really blows chunks when he can't beat either Obama or Biden, despite lowering the threshold to grab 80 year old grannies that have lived here 60+ years.

What a loser.

Oh, and what pisses me off? You've got me defending the Democrats, whose main saving grace is that they are "not the republicans"

Re: You forced me to do this

You're Jesse Welles? !

Re: CSuite are doing the right thing

Maybe they can write a letter in protest - so long as they do not offend decorum. But they must not interfere.

Careful. People have already been rounded up for writing letters of protest against Israels genocide. It won't be long before writing letters of complaint about ICE gets you marked as a terrorist too!

Re: CSuite are doing the right thing

Not sure what the postings of an unhinged woman do to justify the ICE murders.

Still, she's been "cancelled", so what's your point? That because one person is like that, that means all "lefties" are the same?

How about the thousands of MAGA types supporting ICE executions? How about the recent post from "Joy Berggren"? https://jamie.wales/misc/Joy-Berggren.png

Re: CSuite are doing the right thing

yeah, I just meant the El Reg comments!

Re: Bullying your politics onto another is Fascism.

Exactly.

That's the funny thing about it. When all the "others" have been dealt with, it will be people like him next on the chopping block.

Unless he's a billionaire, or owns a modelling agency for underage girls, Trump has no interest in him.

When HE starts complaining because food and gas prices have rocketed, his streets are full of potholes, and all the factories have closed, he'll be the target - Trump won't need his vote by then, and as that's the only reason Trump "loves the uneducated", he'll just be a nuisance.

Re: CSuite are doing the right thing

Relating to that, I see that you have 4 downvotes. I think the voting shouldn't be anonymous, so that we can see who the fascist bootlickers are.

Re: CSuite are doing the right thing

What the hell have the democrats got to do with that?

And also, are you aware that parties *change*? If you want to somehow blame the Democrats at the time for that, and then extend that blame to the democrats of today, then why don't you support the Republican Manifesto from much more recently, in 1956, which said that the 1956 Republican Party platform supported equal pay, the minimum wage, asylum for refugees, protections for unions and more.
