    I hate how Apple users feel the need to call their computer by the brand. It really makes me cringe.

    It is called “a computer”

    Maybe “PC”

    “box” if you really have to flex that UNIX

    They should treat their computers less like a sports car and more like a van

      I mean, isnt that the entire point of Apple? Brand recognition and percieved status attributed to said brand. Its like rappers and gucci belts or country artists and ford pickups

      Ehhhh as an owner of five or six windows computers, four Linux machines, and a couple Apple computers, I always specify which machine I’m referring to if I’m talking about something I did/something that happened on one of them in case it could be pertinent.

    Can someone explain to mr why these people are buying Mac Minis to run this in a “safe” environment and then they go on and connect it to the internet and give the AI credentials to all their cloud accounts? This seems excessively moronic to me? Am I missing something?

      I don’t think you’re missing anything. I’m pretty sure this is the trend. People buy Mac Minis, probably don’t even download a local model, FA, and FO.

    I love how these models apologize like they mean it. It doesn’t mean it. It doesn’t feel bad, and it will do it again.

    Apologies mean “I made a mistake and I learned from it so it won’t repeat.”

    Sure it claims it added more notes to it’s config, but if it ignored the rules before, what makes you think that new rules are going to change anything?

      At best it might not make the same mistake again if that memory is in the current context. But more likely: It will not remember.

      Although latest Gemini in particular has much more room for “remembering” things, still.

      But “I made a mistake”? It is not self-aware in any way shape or form to the degree where “I made a mistake” carries any real meaning.

      Apologies mean “I made a mistake and I learned from it so it won’t repeat.”

      I beg to differ. An apology means that you feel bad about harm inflicted upon others. To prove the point: You apologize when you’re late due to circumstances that are outside of your control. Or when you accidentally bump into someone on the bus when the driver slams the break.

        I don’t know what the hell has happened, but some of these people are basically human jellyfish. Big tech is full of them now.

        No thought enters their mind, but they dodge the layoffs and the PIPs and get promoted like this.

    How come some 25yo person is a director at Facebook?

    I mean, even if she is a child prodigy genius, which she obviously is not as she is face first fist deep into AI, how the frack do you have even enough life experience to become a director of any large organization at that age unless you somehow cheated your way in?

    Then reading the hat she’s doing and how she resolved it tells me she doesn’t know shit about computers, she just know how to type commands into AI systems

    Is this the future? Am I going to end up being one of those long bearded magicians that still know the old technology, that still can still save the day by using shell commands?

    If all the qualifications I need to be a security engineer for Facebook are

    • buy a Mac Mini
    • don’t configure remote access
    • install untrusted software
    • leave

    Then Facebook should hire me. I’ll buy so many Mac Minis on their dime. I will run so many crazy things.

      I think you should open up your orifice for certain fellatory services, perhaps, allegedly. Also maybe boobs.
