@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I listened to the interview this morning. Context was his relationship with Hegseth. The interviewer (an unmarried muslim woman) asked whether she would be able to vote in this guys country.

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange - fun fact: no one at Yammer had a chance to look at the copy before it went out. We all rolled eyes in a fusion of “oh no not again” and “this is not good”.

Switched from netsol to #fastmail for email hosting and am very happy. Even switched to their web and ios clients and am impressed. Would be nice if JMAP got more support.

Should LLMs be regulated? Initially I was on the fence. Until Trump proposed blocking models that don't support his 2020 election theories.

Replying to @nixCraft@mastodon.social
@nixCraft - echos of Learnout & Hauspie "The solution was to start a company and have it contract with L&H to develop the software. L&H said it gathered outside investors to fund the start-up, called Dictation Consortium NV. But L&H employees wrote its business plan and did the software work under contract, Mr. Lernout says. When the software was finished, L&H had an option to buy this "legal structure," as he calls Dictation Consortium, at a profit to the investors. The arrangement ensured that L&H could claim to be growing at a rapid pace. Dictation Consortium provided L&H with $26.6 million in revenue over the next two years, about one-quarter of its 1996 sales and 19% of its 1997 sales. Since Dictation Consortium bore the R&D costs, they didn't burden L&H's bottom line. In 1998, L&H bought Dictation Consortium for $40 million, gaining control of the software it so badly wanted." http://web.archive.org/web/20060420133237/http://www2.gol.com/users/coynerhm/how_high.htm
