Why?

Google added that it doesn’t believe its own Gemini models were used, but still has “high confidence” an AI model was part of discovering the vulnerability and weaponizing an exploit.

No, really, why? If Google itself or their models didn’t discover the vulnerability, how would they know genAI was used on the discovery of the vulnerability and weaponization (interestingly, not “creation”) of an exploit?

The headline (as in AI replacing jobs) is as real as the CRAP (Computer Rendered Artificial Picture) it uses.

I think it might be very hard for AI-pilled leadership to back off from their claims and AI mandates and it would not help the hype that they might be banking on/profiting from.

Since they’re using (now expensive) genAI and productivity isn’t improving, because it almost never does, rhen they need to do something to appease stakeholders and offset the cost of using genAI, ofc.

That and keeping employee’s perception of power and self worth down, so they keep working their asses off in the hopes of not being the next in line.

they will most likely know how to use it properly and ethically

I’d argue that ethical use is not possible:

• Models are trained on stolen/misappropriated/misused data
• Training involves psychologically harmful work from ghost workers
• Those services runs on infrastructure that no one wants around, and wastefully contributes to climate change/global warming

I have a service that pings the server:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/ping-smb.service
[Unit]
Description=Blocks until pinging 192.168.1.10 succeeds
After=network-online.target

ExecStart=ping -c1 192.168.1.10

sudo systemctl enable ping-smb.service

And then I make the fstab entry depend on it:
