At least. I'm not hopeful.

Thank god there are still republicans left.

But snark aside, the next elections will be decided around damage control. Yes, the old school dems are pretty spineless (corrupt) but i guess even they feel the temptation of revenge and taking out political opponents for good. I really hope the new generation of democrats succeeds and breaks the corruption ties.

There is a new term "load-bearing" which is used a lot in my usage of AI. Has anyone else encountered this term being used a lot in their conversations? Or is it a quirk of personalization?

I use load-bearing all the time in conversation. People need to be careful that just because they don’t use certain phrases, it doesn’t automatically mean AI.

just what an AI bot would say! ;)

Well yes, CAs and the ICANN model of DNS are intertwined and fundamentally broken in multiple ways. However the system as a whole is largely "good enough" as can be seen from its broad success under highly adversarial conditions in the real world.

That's not really how security works. Either it's broken, or it's not. Security is only as good as the weakest link in the chain. Whether it's good enough or not... hard to say.

That sort of reasoning only applies to algorithms - those shatter the way glass does. Other stuff is more pliable. It's entirely possible to shoplift but there's a nonzero chance you'll get caught. Is the supermarket's security broken? There are many known attacks against it so I'd say that it is.

Notice my wording above - fundamentally broken in multiple ways - by which I mean that there are clear and articulable flaws with the model. Nonetheless it's clearly quite functional in practice.

There are also fashions. So people could be using "load-bearing" more because it's fashionable. Like "lets double-click on that", or "spinning rust", etc
