This isn't doom bullshite, we just had a large layoff and i'm friends with a ton of people looking for jobs. Companies are strongly prioritizing higher Sr. and Expert roles, entry level they are doing their best to replace with AI.

Sorry you don't like it, but if you are working on AD DC's i can see why your perspective of the industry is radically different.

I haven't really seen any of this. But I've been in security for a while now. If anything AI has made me have more job security. The amount of stupid shite people are doing via AI without a second thought is absurd. We have shut down lots of the AI usage because we had clowns doing stuff like leaving API keys or PII data in plan text because that's what the AI told them to do. Devs that should know better too.

AI is neat and has it's use case, but I feel like these AI layoffs are really just investor relations so they don't have to admit they are just regular layoffs.

ETA:To OP - echoing what others have said, you probably aren't jumping to a systems analyst or system admin role right away. You are going to have to cut your teeth on helpdesk.

Not saying it's the only way to do it, but I a Sr in cloud security and I started out as a temp making $10/hr on the helpdesk. But you can prove your worth and move up pretty quick at some companies.

You may want to research the security posture of this thing first. I would only run it on an isolated device with limited exposure.

Yea I've been reading all sorts of security researchers exploiting it. Also, I don't really have anything I need an llm to do for me in my daily personal life. I wouldn't be able to integrate it with work, so I just don't get the need.

A new smelting plant is opening here for the first time in decades. We need more manufacturing here on our shores.

Just looked into this - supposed to be finished before the end of the decade and more than double the current US production. That seems like things are working as intended.

I've never been in the PMAC and thought "OMG this sucks." It's fricking fine.

Ehh the PMAC is pretty rough.

I have my personal T-Mobile Line and my work Verizon line on my iPhone. It's really useful. I can quickly identify what is a work call or a personal call and shut off the work line when I'm on vacation. My Wife has AT&T. Between one of those we should have a connection, and the T-Mobile Sat connection really helps in that regard come a disaster.

I'm doing Keto right now and was looking for minimal carbs. I tried Body Armor recently and it does the trick. 1g of carbs per packet I think. Seems to do the trick. 700MG Potassium, 510MG of Sodium, and has a little calcium, magnesium, and zinc in it too.

Graves didn’t graduate from LSU and supports many college teams and NFL teams. Not sure he donates as much to LSU as many would expect from a billionaire alumn.

---

I've heard conflicting reports on Graves. I've heard from some people that say this - that he doesn't give as much as people think.

Then I've heard from some people, who I'm under the impression would be in the know, that say he is very instrumental and involved financially.

I just toyed around with it and for some reason when I add them the points actually go down. I must just be dumb.

LSU should be the flagship, Tech should be the northern school, ULL the southwestern school, UNO the New Orleans school, and even though it’s pretty close to LSU, Southeastern could probably justify existing. All the rest need to close or become community/technical/trade schools.

I thought I read somewhere that they wanted guarantees of some sort? Maybe I'm mixing them up with someone else.

It's amazing how few people care about facts today. 23 up votes to 1 down vote on a falsehood.

He's definitely a homo though

Yep

Is it dumb to draw parallels to this to non-competes which are largely unenforceable?

Do you know that it is similar money? I have to wonder if Ole Miss is overpaying just to intentionally hurt LSU, even if it is not in the best interest of Ole Miss.

Serious question as a tigers fan as im not really educated on all of it. Can lsu financially compete with texas, texas a&m, oregon that have billionaire alumni/blank check - year in and year out?

Did you miss the coaching change and what we paid a guy to not coach and what we are paying his replacement and the staff?
