    There are enough crappy win32 applications that you probably should restart Windows PCs nightly.

    I would guess prevention of using Claude as a pentesting or hacking platform. This could mean that every script kiddie out there would be a massive risk.

    I've starting going back to books, either at the library or e-books. Librarians are very good at telling you if nonfiction is biased, outdated, or incorrect.

    You don't need custom built anything, ChatGPT could generate corporate initiatives and PR statements all day and no one would notice.

    They did use space tape (Kapton) and epoxy for that weird case with the hole drilled in the ISS.

    For what they are worth, nuclear weapons are still preventing large-scale conflict between world powers.

    I've started to go low-tech and ask noai.duckduckgo.com first, and then, gasp , go to the local library for some books on my hobbies.

    This makes me paranoid to buy a new car at this point. I would have to keep every single oil filter receipt and take a video of the DIY oil change.
