Folks, if you're going to have a third-party antivirus/security program on your PC, then please keep it up to date. If you decide to let the subscription lapse, then uninstall it.
With an expired subscription, security/antivirus programs are so much worse than useless. It refuses to work AND prevents the built-in Windows Defender from working.
This PSA is brought to you by a McAfee trial that expired 400 days ago.
Researchers just mathematically proved that AI can't recursively self-improve its way to superintelligence.
Not "we think it's unlikely." Not "it seems hard." Formally proved.
The model doesn't climb toward AGI — it slowly forgets what reality looks like. They call it model collapse. The math calls it inevitable.

Also adding “please don’t delete my production data” or similar in the prompt doesn’t count as a safeguard
Remember that you don't need expensive software or subscriptions to make great art! Everything I draw is made with the free and open source Krita, whose developers you should support for their awesome work!

Also, with a mascot like Kiki, you *should* support the devs for embracing the cute!
