  • yeah, it’s an it in my opinion. People have called objects he or she forever. Like sailors calling their ship a lady but they also carved women’s shapes into it. It’s was also something that was critical to their survival and it makes sense in that way.

    I was a professional sailor at one time in my life. Anthropomorphism is a tricky situation. AI isn’t worthy of this IMO because it could cause even more damage to people who don’t understand what it is. It’s not a person and it’s not a real personality. It’s a mirage of overlapping tricks. It’s a super fancy search engine.

    And the fact that the companies that own it and their manipulative input means it’s not honest and it’s not pure in its intentions.














  • there will be a harsh period of relearning shit but I proved to my IT that I can make a Debian laptop that follows most of the CIS benchmarks in less then a week. That system can be cloned and deployed to anything we want. The VPN client we use is a little tricky but given more time, I could make the GUI version work (currently it only works in the terminal, openconnect)

    The users learning to use a new Office app might be a short pain but it will be so much better in the long run, otherwise ALL the M365 shit works in the browser, Firefox for me. Just need to ensure you enable the plugin for the webcam for Teams.
