I’m curious enough to continue the conversation, if only because talking about definitions is interesting. So I’m not being confrontational, I actually want to have a discussion.

You say that all soaps are antibacterial because the result in the end is that no bacteria remains on the hands. I see what you’re saying there. But anti-bacterial soap kills the bacteria, including the remaining ones that couldn’t be removed.

That’s like saying that removing a group of humans based on ethnicity from a region, without killing them, amounts to genocide. Would you say that’s genocide too?* (And I know the comparison is extreme.)

*I think I read somewhere that forcibly removing people from a region amounts to genocide, though. But you know what I mean…

I hope you were being sarcastic…

You’re welcome.

You have a point. I guess we could compile the decompiled code and compare the binaries.

True.

It could also be purportedly condescending. Still an insult.

Fair point.

But to be fair, “you’re inexperienced” can also be used as an insult.

Of course not. You’re a mango!

Bro still eating mushrooms while typing. Go lie down and play portishead somwehere.

“It would be rude to think that they’re inexperienced. So let’s just say that THEY’RE LIARS!!!”

You’re almost close to self-awareness. But then, not bad for a mango.

Incompetence is fine. Incompetence can come from different sources, including inexperience.

Great. Hallucinated decompiled code.

I’m all for AI, but there’s gotta be a better way for machines to become intelligent. Not just “training and predicting without any thought in the process.”

What’s so horrifying about the fairness doctrine, according to them?

I understand all that. After all, Andrew is asking for the power to become an admin.

But given your reply, it seems like Andrew is asking for that power from the get-go which, of course, is a no go.

Whoops! Thanks. Corrected.

Why are you assuming so much about Andrew?

What are these workarounds? And why are they workarounds and not standard procedures?

This has to be some sort of policy being enabled. I have seen that window, but there are ways to bypass it - though in hindsight, they are not as evident. For example, right-click then choose “Open.”
