I’m not shaming. I’m offering a simple Solution. The backups can be automated and you can NetBoot the restore process off that rsync target so you don’t have to be distracted at work. You can have a simple plan to execute if you get these calls while you are at work so there is no problem you can’t instantly reverse. It takes no time to pull off after you’ve set it up.

They built a literal DJroomba. Parks and rec writers > OpenAI.

Dude, the math says it would be cheaper to fund research into necromancy to revive the actual Shakespeare than this.

It has the same flaw as every other overreaching evil. We outnumber them. A significant number on our side is willing to kill the other side.

Ima die in the crossfire for sure. But the evildoers always assume they are going to win and they literally never do. They always lose. Expensively.

It’s a dying echo. Nothing more.

I’m…but…no…wait….

We’re not going to make it.

AI is the idea of putting a million monkeys in a room with a typewriter and waiting for Shakespeare.

The smart people already knew the monkeys would just starve to death. The business majors are just now figuring that out.

Or you could beat them over the head with their own consequences and leave the platform en masse

Well money is all they have anymore.
