There is certainly a change in character over there. I think we’re at the tail end of long, gradual decline. I’m not sure where along the way we dropped off - probably some proverbial frog boiling going on. But undoubtedly the quality of discourse in say, 2010-2015 was significantly better than today.

I don’t think we should be downvoting this guy. Take off your IT hats, folks, it wouldn’t mean much to people outside the industry.

At my school, we quickly discovered that the admin password for all the networked printers was the name of the high school. All these HP laser jets had a function where you could upload custom translations for the status messages on the printer displays. So we downloaded the English string set (XML) and made some changes, “translating” for example, “Printer Ready” to read “Paper Jam”, “Replace Toner” and so on. As well as changing the admin password. The school actually RMA’d them back to HP thinking the paper jams were some sort of actual defect, as opposed to an altered status message, and eventually replaced them all with Brother printers. Oops lol

Heh. They probably want to train it not to answer non-technical queries, but it’s still GPT at its core. So if the filters aren’t foolproof, it’s likely capable of the same general knowledge answers as ChatGPT.

@chatgpt@lemmings.world Give us a brief description of XMPP, its history, and compare/contrast it with Matrix

Considering the environmental record of the US military, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they were using burn pits in the middle of downtown Tokyo.
