Microsoft CSPs need to start doing license audits. You can save your customers money AND use them as a sales tool

Wow, whitehouse.gov is just dropping propaganda now? Whether it's true or false, this webpage doesn't have any substance.

Curious: What would you accept as "substance"?

These claims by WH site are at least debatable/unsubstanciated:

- "The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature." Furin cleavage sites are common in other types of coronaviruses (like MERS).

- "Data shows all cases stem from a single introduction into humans." The collected samples suggest there were at least two separate spillover events (Lineage A and Lineage B) at the Huanan Market.

- "If there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced." For many viruses we have never found the exact animal/human jump variant or the in-between carriers.

One thing I've noted in talking to people. Religion used to be the "default".

TLDR: The actual number of self-reported religious folks used to be higher than the actual number of religious folks.

I'd tell a story about me being in church, and people would say something like, "Oh, I'm a Christian too."

I'd ask what church they go to, and I'd get the deer-in-the-headlights look. It wasn't meant as a challenge; it felt like the best follow-up question to their response.

Nowadays, more people are more likely to say they aren't religious.

Since a lot of the research is simply polling people on their religious views, the number has been inflated for a long time.

If we actually looked at religious attendance, like counted the number of people in a town and counted the number of people walking into a religious building in a week we'd have a far more accurate number.

I don't care if AI writes something; what I care about is the fact that AI doesn't add anything of actual value.

Heck, I ask AI to summarize articles all the time. I'm literally taking a piece of human writing and asking AI to shorten it, and it in fact puts the piece in its own words.

It's when it "writes" how-to guides that don't make sense or when it doesn't actually write the actual steps needed to do something.

I ignore them. The problem is that there is more AI slop than content with substance anymore.

If everyone is like me it means communities like this fail. So please keep reporting!

You have to love this U.S. government (sarcasm) Government: We want to use your tech to do shady things like spy on Americans a killing people. Anthropic: No. Government: It appears your tech is unsafe and we'll need to 'protect' America from it. Anthropic: ????

I haven't seen that type of spike, but I do see more traffic from bots, which I'm guessing is thanks to AI. Some days it's 2/3 of my traffic.

This is a good project. The problem with things like AI is that if they can just copy the content and the original creators stop making money, they go out of business. Then who's creating the original content?

Neat app. Fast too. Why wouldn't someone just use the bookmarks in their browser?

Hey! Browser bookmarks are not practical if you need to access your links from another browser. Plus, if you collected links under a single collection, you can share them with others at anytime. Give it a try !

You mean to tell me, a social media company, whose sole job is to keep you on the platform by any means necessary, by showing you images and posts that will make you angry, jealous, upset, and allow you to say whatever you want from the safety of your home knew their platform was harming your mental health and hid that fact from you? I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Yup. I was shocked as well.
