  • Why do you see this as USA only?

    Because the announcement doesn’t use UTC to announce the event and there’s absolutely no chance that anyone outside the US knows when some random timezone is, or if daylight savings is active in that timezone or not at the time of the event.

    The announcement also tells me that the organisation is run out of the USA, not a place universally known for its inclusivity or global consideration. Reinforced by a text only image with no alt text.

    I think a tech workers coalition is an interesting and potentially useful idea, but the announcement doesn’t even contain a URL to the organisation.

    Which leads to my conclusion, a USA only affair.

    I’d be delighted to be wrong, but that’s what the announcement conveyed to me.
















  • Kali ≠ Debian

    I did not see an apt-get update

    In my experience, unmet dependencies are unlikely to happen on a stable version where you only installed from the official repo.

    The LZMA decompression errors point at a much more fundamental issue. I’m suspecting that the repository URLs point at non standard locations or downloads were interrupted, though I’m not sure exactly how, since AFAIK, apt checks the checksum.

    If you must have something that’s not In your distro, do yourself a favour and install Docker and run your package inside there, much less chance of killing your system.

  • What you’re describing is a general experience with LLM, not limited to the C-level.

    If an LLM sprouts rubbish you detect it because you have external knowledge, in other words, you’re the subject matter expert.

    What makes you think that those same errors are not happening at the same rate outside your direct personal sphere of knowledge?

    Now consider what this means for the people around you, including the C-level.

    Repeat after me, AI is Assumed Intelligence and should not be considered anything more than autocorrect on steroids.
