  • If you want to release details to a less than scrupulous company running an AI, you can feed it that information.

    The real use is generating syntax. The logic is the hard part to teach, so with an understanding of the logic behind the programming, you can tweak variables for your final product.

    I’ve mostly used this to generate scripts to deploy rapidly to the latest emerging crisis, but thats from the perspective of a help desk agent with too many years of experience to still be doing it, but in a way I enjoy it. The bigger problems aren’t my problems. I escalate as appropriate, and its no longer my problem.

    I digress, it generates syntax and you plug in your infrastructure variables in a file you control. Then again I may be paranoid because I’ve seen HIPAA fuck extra hard with non-clinical staff who have access to records in their job duties.
















  • My BIL is literally twice my weight,if not more; and has several inches of height on me.

    Severity can be promoted by need. For example, his drunk ass wanted to get off the couch to threaten his sister (my wife). I introduced him to the floor, rapidly.

    Speed and skill can overcome size. That being said, I’ve always been on the smaller side of stature and weight, and a hit from someone twice your size hurts when they connect. Period.



  • There is the biblical Christ, then there is alt-right Christ. One may, or may not, have existed as some weird combination of avatar/son/whatever of God. Then there is corruption and propaganda on the other side.

    I’m not a Christian, by any stretch of the imagination, but I was raised in the south and my grandma taught Sunday school. I had read the bible cover to cover before most other chapter books, though against my will. Grandma also believed in the corrective powers of The Switch. So, yeah.

    The biblical Christ would, if he were still entombed, be rolling in his grave over what the current GoP party is espousing as Christianity.

    Of course, this post involves suspension of disbelief, so its all in the hypothetical sense.


  • I mean, being empathetic and using for evil… tale as old as the words’ origins.

    Empathy, but a lack of conscience allows one to feel for their opponent, assess their weaknesses, and exploit them.

    I mean, possessing the capability for understanding harm and doing it anyway is a core characteristic of a “bad person.” We don’t blame a wild animal for attacking someone, at least not if you have two brain cells to rub together. I worked in Yellowstone. We had bears in civilian areas on a few occasions. I was off the clock, but didn’t want to see people hurt, so I helped the park rangers clear the area of tourists, and got the fuck out of the way when they were actually trying to corral the bear (juvenile) and relocate it to a deeper part of the park away from humans.

    Black Hat Hackers Social engineers, con men, what have you, all revolve around empathetic traits.

    Again, people, as an example… A knife is a tool. I carry one every day. Usually, I open boxes, break down boxes, use it as a lever (my “tool” knife EDC is robust and cheap as shit. If it breaks, it breaks, I’ve gotten a couple decades out of it so far) and more. After 20 years or more of service, it has more than paid for itself, we’re looking at like a dollar year here.

    Now the knife no one ever sees except my wife (because I disrobe in front of her) is designed for self defense. That one is a weapon. Its only purpose is self defense. It isn’t unsheathed unless I’m checking it for maintenance reasons, or I need to defend myself. Thankfully, the later has not happened since I’ve purchased it. However, in an emergency? Its a sharp blade of good materials. It could be used for other reasons, just at its price point I prefer not to. Awkward grip for a traditional knife usage, but it could be used for an emergency trach if the need arose. Though, that may just be a consideration because of my first aid training.

    Both knives serve vastly different purposes for me.

    At the end of the day, they’re a tool though. I could bash someone in the head with a claw hammer as easily as I built a house - except I know nothing about building a house, lol.
