My organization (which has HIPAA-concerns) is more strict. We DO NOT use publicly available generative AI on work. Period. Not at all. Forbidden. But then, I can't connect my work laptop to Gmail, othere external e-mail or file-sharing site (like, say, Dropbox) or any social media site...

If they didn't get to their position by careful consideration of reliable data, careful consideration of reliable data is unlikely to get them out of that position either.

Well, as the master said, "Ninety percent of SF is crud, but then, ninety percent of everything is crud." And that was in 1951. So it isn't "these days".

Annual gross revenue itself tells you little.

It also blows away 99% of what Netflix itself makes, so that's not really telling.

Yep. I've seen him.. four, maybe five times? A group of my friends catch him whenever he comes through town. We missed one pass when coivd hadn't lifted enough to feel comfortable sitting in a crowded theater for hours, which was a shame, as that one was at a small theater nearby. My wife...

I saw him in concert last night. Dude still gives a good show.

Mod Note: If making it personal is your going to be central to your approach to this discussion going forward, your discussion will not go forward. Argue the content, don't take jabs at the people. Thanks. By all means. Nobody's stopping you.

If you recognize that the argument is boiling down to preferences, that's fine.

Yeah, sometimes that happens as we write - ideas flow and we end up where we didn't expect. I agree there is dispute - but we can now look at that and go... why? Why are we arguing over that? Is there something we can do to look at it differently?

Well, there would be wisdom in considering whether there should be a dispute in that case. "I don't actually know this way is superior, but I'll get into an argument on the internet about it!" maybe isn't a great place to be, hm?

If "punk" were to have a flaw, it is in that it focused on nihilism in the face of dystopia. But, when the establishment is cynical, there's nothing more anti-establishment than hope. In a way, hope-punk is punk... against established punk tropes :p

No. The first is to understand that you have not established any method of determining which is "superior". Without that, the question cannot be resolved, even in theory.

Well, that'll occupy my holidays this year...

You were warned. Please find some other discussion that doesn't lead you to insulting people as your primary mode of engagement.

I mean, my first reaction is that your perplexity comes from trusting a headline to be a largely accurate summation of the situation. In the MCU they've recast roles before - we've had three different Bruce Banners, two James Rhodes, two Thaddeus Rosses, two Billy Maximoffs, three Howard...

Folks can argue whatever they like. But... "Yeah, I put together this amazing simulation of all the processes that tinfluence weather. I have carefully crafted every component of the water cycle, atmospheric circulation, solar radiation and albedo, simply everything! It says that Nevada gets...

Mod note: The insulting accusations are not terribly noble, Nobleshield. How about you keep your approach a bit more civil, please and thanks.

Some folks may be mistaking the mechanics for the simulation. The actual simulation is the result. Preferences that get in the way of the result being a good simulation are at odds with a simulationist approach.

Mod note: Hey there. At the moment, the clearly hostile element in this exchange... is you. Dial it back a few notches, please and thanks.
