@nprofile1q... Same, unfortunately that's on both counts... I fear its slowly heading towards "too big to fail" because Governments are leaning on this stuff 😐
"You were right about [subject]. I asked [LLM-AI] and it agreed with you."
and holy shit I have never felt so angry and offended by such a short sentence.
I know I was correct, because I sat and thought about it and I'm very good at this whole "programming" lark... and I can't express how little a shit I give that the random plagiarism machine agrees with me...
When I started making music some years ago now I wouldn't refer to myself as a "musician" or an "artist" - I was just a dude with a computer making sounds. I felt like I hadn't "earned" it, which in retrospect was silly, but such is being human I guess.
Contrast that to now, with people playing mad libs with a computer and unironically calling themselves "a writer".
Of all the people who have imposter syndrome, it seems unfair those who are literally imposters don't suffer from it...
Radiation is also not a huge issue - these things are planned for low earth orbit, so plenty of shielding from the earth's magnetic field. Same domain as the ISS in that regard.
(None of this is me saying its a good idea, if nothing else all those satellites would wreck the night sky for astronomy, more so than is already being done 😞 )
@nprofile1q... I remember, pre-pandemic, when there was a discussion about Sustained Engineering taking ownership of BiRP as part of the sunsetting of it (aka, Ya Boi here being in charge of changes/fixes landing).
Since then I changed roles twice, got yeet'd, took 2 years off, and.. it carries on as before...
On reflection Late Gen-X/Early Millennials have had such a weird experience; - Born at the right time to age into computers in the home - learnt how they worked because you had to know things like file systems etc - Got to experience the internet in its more wild and free state
and now get to watch as the internet locks down, as devices lock down, and the 'home computer' goes away replaced by "Devices", with cost increases due to AI really killing it off.
