You've hit the nail on the head. What you're describing isn't just laziness — it's a fundamental breakdown of trust in the modern workplace. Let's delve into this.

Here's the thing: when someone copy-pastes AI output without reading it, the document was never the deliverable — the verification was the deliverable. The prose isn't load-bearing; the checking is. A document nobody read isn't a document — it's a liability with formatting.

And that's the thing, isn't it? Is the AI actually the problem here? No — the workflow is. This genuinely comes down to ownership:

  • Trust erodes silently. Every unchecked paragraph is a small withdrawal from a shared account nobody audits — until the balance is zero.
  • Verification is idempotent. Ten minutes of reading costs the same whether you do it once or a hundred times — but skipping it compounds.
  • The failure isn't technical — it's cultural. No review, no judgment, no accountability.

This is exactly the kind of thing that starts as one bad research doc and scales — from a single email, to a team norm, to an entire organization quietly outsourcing its thinking. In today's fast-paced world, the ability to say "I read this and I stand behind it" isn't just a soft skill — it's a superpower, and honestly? A testament to the rich tapestry of what human-AI collaboration could be.

Ultimately, your colleague didn't fail to use AI correctly — they failed to be the human in the loop. The tool didn't remove their judgment. They left it at the door.

I hope this helps! Would you like me to draft a one-page best-practices memo your team can circulate? 🚀

Is there a quantifiable limit to how much water a priest can bless at once to make it holy? Is that rank based once priests level up? And, if during COVID livestreaming a mass was just as good as attending, couldn't you put an ipad above every source of potable water before it gets sent to customers and have the priest bless it once a day for a consistent flow of holy water? Could this be used to combat the terrorists putting things in water to make the frogs gay?

Probably reliable until the next "feature and experience update" where they move or remove the setting and default it back to allow for all users again and all the soulless advertisers cum their pants because their malware delivered impression counts just went up again

lol I imagine you have to just be like a meteorologist and ballpark it by squinting hard and nobody can say anything if you're wrong

Not sure how, it works so well

Well considering that the “UEFI Shim’s” role is to sit in between a Microsoft owned certificate signing chain, it is certainly part of it’s primary role.

With Linux distributions supporting UEFI Secure Boot, the above-described Secure Boot mechanism built around Microsoft keys introduces some challenges. Every Linux distribution generates its own bootloader binaries, and each of them has a different hash. Getting every Linux bootloader signed directly by Microsoft would be slow, bureaucratic, and impractical (if not impossible) to maintain across all Linux distributions.

The solution to this problem is a shim: a small, minimal first-stage bootloader that Microsoft can vet and sign once, and which then creates a secondary trust anchor for the rest of the Linux distribution-specific boot stack – usually GRUB 2 and the Linux kernel. This trust anchor is another certificate, referred to as a vendor certificate (managed by the distribution vendor), added to the shim binary before it is signed by Microsoft.

Many people who aren't retail investors won't even have a choice anyway. Their 401(k) will be tied up in speculative funds they don't control. People's retirements will shield the rich, all part of the plan

That means that he managed to keep the fine small enough that Samsung made significantly more money off the price fixing than they ever lost from the fine. Hasn’t changed

The other big question, even though Simpson goes into some detail on this, is how the deal is going to be financed. A share purchase agreement is in place for those "low seven figures," Simpson says he's re-mortgaged to get this far, and adds that "household names who don't want to be named" are interested before name-dropping Elon Musk (whose computing career began on a Commodore). They're looking for angel investors, but there's no indication of the timeframe on any deal.

So it’s basically owned by musk, got it
