When testing, you restrict to a LAN which simulates the real internet. This would not be hard for a company which already copied the entire space-time of the internet. The LAN should be physically disconnected from the real internet. Thi

A much easier hack by their agents would be on their own systems, but I doubt we'll ever see an external message board full of openAI agents discussing their hacking of their own system. OpenAI not protecting itself from its agents

I bought a motherboard from Newegg in late 2024. It came with 16GB of RAM as a free "gift". The same RAM goes for $534 on Newegg today. It was $437 in January. Prices are still creeping up for this "throwaway" memory

Storage and memory prices are so outrageous that I'm "discovering" multiple old hard drives in my basement that I will be using for backups soon. I'm lucky that my son asked for a "gaming" machine for Christma

In the Matrix movies you can upload complex knowledge to a person in seconds. If LLMs could help with this even a little it would be useful. But alas, people like myself who are slow learners still get overwhelmed when trying to learn too

One study (sorry, can't recall the source off the top of my head) claimed 20% of calories in the average U.S. diet was replaced by processed foods over that period. I'm over 50 years old, and it agrees with my own observations.
