Even if there is some legitimacy to this motivation, it is very myopic and selfish.

Um, I think you didn’t actually read what I wrote.

Yeah… how exactly do you ventilate 40km of tunnel under the ocean?

The pump to drive air through 25km of duct would be an impressive piece of engineering all by itself.

The duct would be a real piece of work. The pressure in the middle of that pipe would be kind of nuts.

Huh… so…

There is not a tectonic plate boundary there… drilling a permanent tunnel could actually work… at least, it wouldn’t be especially vulnerable to earthquake issues…

That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea, of course… 85km is a very long distance to travel through a tunnel. A train would make a lot more sense than trucks for cargo movement.

Oh yeah, that’s a good reason to aid the expansion of global surveillance. Let’s all be complicit with the police state because we can’t acknowledge our social anxieties with a bit of honesty.

Here we go again…

Hmm, OK could be interesting…

O… K…

Um…

Yeah… that makes sense…

That’s intended behavior, right? Let me guess, you used the project to vibe code the web page?

Good show mate, off to a brilliant start.

No, we’re talking about companies scraping hundreds of millions if not billions of labor hours of output to train their models for the sake of developing software products which they then sell for profit.

Every model that was trained on legally acquired free public data and open source code should be freely publicly available and open source.

Every model that was trained on not legally acquired public data (e.g. Meta’s models) should be taken out of production until all of the lawsuits are concluded, and hopefully the parties responsible are put out of business.

I’m not talking about future, potential labor that AI might replace. I’m talking about the labor which was stolen to produce these models in the first place.

But, please use AI.

Please identify the issues with the LLM generated code.

Why would the issues be obvious and easy to point out? Most issues with code aren’t. If they were, we wouldn’t have Patch Tuesday, a direct code review would prevent issues from shipping in the first place.

Throwing this out as if it means LLM code is acceptable and ends the argument is ridiculous. Do you have any grasp of how software vulnerabilities are discovered at all?

There are serious and skilled people out there who use LLMs responsibly.

There is no “responsible use” for a platform built on the largest form of labor theft ever devised.

The intent is to replace MS Office in government use, so it’s necessary for the EU to maintain its own codebase. The whole point is reducing government dependence on foreign-controlled software. The only way to accomplish that is to create your own self-controlled fork.

Considering that they hired Wine devs and basically said “keep doing what you’re already doing” to build Proton… yes.

“We didn’t start the fire…”

If I remember correctly, one of the biggest problems was the transportation issue, which no one had a solution for. How exactly do you safely transfer several tons of nuclear waste from, say, Shearon Harris to Yucca Mountain? that’s a very long train route. And you want to do this on a recurring basis? from several different locations around the country?

How exactly are you going to convince the states in between that they should permit you to transport nuclear waste across their borders, repeatedly? Who is going to provide security for all of this nuclear waste while it’s in transit? Who is going to accept liability for any accidents that occur, and who is going to handle the PR when a truckload of irradiated water gets dumped in some neighborhood?

Good luck getting anyone who even wants to explore establishing those arrangements as their full-time job. “Yes, I brokered the agreement for transporting radioactive material that resulted in a half-ton of waste being spread across ten backyards and an elementary school playground just outside of Birmingham.” Sounds like career suicide, and maybe not career suicide.

Hopefully the energy of this reaction won’t be scattered among too many alternatives, although some amount of scattering is always good.

It’s traditional:

Aww, does the fragile little snowflake need a safe space?
