My friend in Greece sent me a couple pictures of Gerald asking if I knew which one it was. Took me a moment because I was shocked with how bad of a condition she is in, and this was before the fire! Everything about that ship screams fraud, waste ,and abuse of public trust.

I am kind of baffled by the absence of food in the US military, especially the US Navy. That's like the third item on the logistics checklist with ammunition and fuel being first and second.

This also gives some credence to rumors the fire was deliberately started on Gerald due to moral issues.

A bit more than a year ago this (https://www.understandingai.org/p/metas-llama-31-can-recall-42-percent) was discussed quietly with the question "If an llm was trained on stolen source code from say Microsoft and then later regurgitates an exact part of that code, what is the legal status of that output?" Where exactly is the threshold where it becomes theft by proxy? Is it a large c struct with matching names and typed properties? Or does it need to be an entire header/definition file pair like with c++ .h and .cpp?

On a more humorous note, a lot of people are half seriously talking about de-compiling NVIDIA's drivers, running that through more than a couple LLM's to clean it up, and then when it can compile and works, publish that as open source. Most want to see what the green machine and leather jacket man will do.

I actually don't mind "AI" with coding but really this is all secretly just a surprise attack from the "We don't need to do maintenance and tech-debt isn't a real thing" crowd.

For anyone with any professional/commercial experience knows, the auto-slop factory is a dream come true for management as they just keep pulling the techno slot machine lever over and over until it works and then ship it.

At a bigger picture, everything is or is becoming absolute shit for quality but somehow more expensive. Now software (and hardware) is falling in line and embracing entropy. Wait until that old fogey idiot Linus Torvalds passes on and we'll get AI slop in Linux the minute after the Dr calls it.
