"While we've been critical of the industry at times, after getting to know Sam and the OpenAI team, what stood out most was their openness to feedback and commitment to getting this right," wrote Hays in a statement

“First, you can be forgiven if you're surprised that the Orion spacecraft (which was carried to space by the Artemis II mission) uses Microsoft 365 software.

However, NASA has been standardized on Microsoft's suite of software and services for years, using the platform across productivity, collaboration, and, yes, communication. The agency even uses Copilot, though it's not clear if the AI has had any part in this mission.”

NASA’s Portable Computer System (PCS) is essentially a fleet of space-qualified laptops used by astronauts .. Running Microsoft Windows .. chosen for reliability and durability :o

Why don't you ferk off back to Reddit :)

Oh the Irony. a company whose business is built on other peoples works is suing for copyright infringement.

Like “The Cloud” was going to get rid of the in-house computer department, this AI kool-aid is going to massively fail to deliver. A useful tool as long as it is applied in specific use cases and verified by a human. In this case, since you've fired all your radiologists and AIs are prone to hallucinations, you can't be sure its diagnosis is accurate. You would get lots of false positives or false negatives, with no one left to verify the results.

Does it mention Jobs getting a contract from Atari to design a a prototype circuit board for a breakout game and getting Wozniak in at night to do the actual design. Jobs got paid $5,750 and paid Wozniak $350. Jobs then spent the rest of the money on a spiritual journey to India /s

Steven Sinacore: “On the ground the reactor is off. There's no radiation coming from it. It doesn't actually turn on until you're up in space, and that's where the radiation comes from.”

ClippyAI: “The system uses high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) oxide fuel with heat pipe cooling and a closed brayton cycle converter and boron carbide for radiation shield.”

“The community pushed back hard on this one. The Arch maintainers are holding, Canonical backed away, and Artix Linux, the systemd-free Arch derivative, issued the clearest statement: they will never require any verification or ID. When someone opened a revert PR, Lennart closed it himself on March 19th. The birthDate field is in systemd and it's staying.” ref

> Do Emergency Microsoft, Oracle Patches Point to Wider Issues?

Yes, the issues are the underlying technology is defective.

Security controls such as MFA, endpoint protection, and deep packet inspection are compensating layers added atop an inherently unsafe computing substrate. Their very existence shows that the underlying architecture fails to provide strong isolation, integrity, or trust guarantees by default.

Modern systems still rely on large, complex TCBs (Trusted Computing Base), expansive privilege hierarchies, weak memory safety, and legacy compatibility constraints. These systemic flaws make complete prevention of compromise unrealistic, turning security engineering into a perpetual exercise in mitigating platform defects rather than eliminating them.

Corporations now have constitutional rights that override any dangers to defence.

> AGI is a theoretical form of AI that supposedly would be able to perform complex tasks without each step being prompted by a human user -- the point at which machines become autonomous, like Skynet in the Terminator franchise.

Thank you VF, without that razor sharp analogy I wouldn't be able to grasp the concept of artificial general intelligence. Or even natural general stupidity. Which is most people

“Have you seen that guy speak? [Zuckerberg] He’s like a lizard man”

OK, that got a chuckle.

ClippyAI calls the article sci-fi doom porn /s

Brazil's Roswell: The Varginha UFO

“This story of alien visitation in Brazil from 1996 claims to be the most convincing proof we have .. the Varginha UFO story .. is the most compelling example of a case where literally nothing at all happened that was remotely unusual, and was magnified into a case considered unassailable proof of alien visitation by many. To those believers, I would suggest recalibrating where you set the bar for quality of evidence.”

The real Reddit problem is dysfunctional power mad super mods with hundreds of subs under their control. I think they're pushing crypto currency now :o

Cyber technology not fit for purpose. An unstable spaghetti mess built on top of another unstable spaghetti mess.
