"On January 6, 1959, Richard and Mildred Loving were convicted of interracial marriage, given a one-year suspended sentence, and banished from the state of Virginia...

After marrying in Washington, D.C., in 1958, the Lovings returned to their native Caroline County, Virginia, to build a home and start a family. Their union was a criminal act in Virginia because... the state's Racial Integrity Act, passed in 1924, criminalized interracial marriage."

"1995: ...Reproduced the original command line study, including a wider variety of UNIX systems and more utilities. The study showed that, if anything, reliability had gotten worse. This was the first study that included open source GNU and Linux utilities that, interestingly, were significantly more reliable than those from the commercial UNIX systems.... Almost half the standard UNIX programs failed to properly check... return values." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzing

The impact on education/schooling was one of the first things that I thought of when I tried #OpenAI #ChatGPT.

Perhaps the style of assignments/questions posed to students will need to shift, because we all know blocklists are not a scalable/sustainable defence…

One thing that Lincoln Electric, which is a famous manufacturer of arc welding equipment, did well is instead of laying off 10% of their workforce, they had everybody take a 10% wage cut except for senior management, which took a larger cut. So instead of giving 100% of the pain to 10% of the people, they give 100% of the people 10% of the pain.
