Sure, Microsoft is happy to let their AIs scan everyone else’s code., but is anyone aware of any software houses letting AIs scan their in-house code?
Any lawyer worth their salt won’t let AIs anywhere near their company’s proprietary code intil they are positive that AI isn’t going to be blabbing the code out to every one of their competitors.
But of course, IANAL.
No, this can’t be. They took all of our personal information so they could use AI to tailor ads to exactly what we wanted at any given moment.

The guy that can’t build a useful tunnel on Earth is supposed to built habitats on Mars?
Not too unusual. There have been a lot of new vulnerabilities announced lately. A few months ago they announced one that exposed all (?) mainstream CPUs, even Apple’s new chips.
Some of the vulns are serious, but many require very specific circumstances to actually work.
When looking for a new web browser, which feature would you prefer most and which would you prefer least?
I don’t want any of those. Can’t we just have a browser that filters all of the popups, junk and advertising?
Nope. You can’t progress through the survey without picking one thing you really don’t want and at least one of two things you couldn’t give a shit less about.
A: “We really need this super-important and highly-technical job done.”
B: “We could just hire a bunch of highly-technical people to do it.”
A: “No, we would have to hire people and that would cost us millions.”
B: “We could spend billions on untested technology and hope for the best.”
A: “Excellent work B! Charge the government $100M for our excellent idea.”
Wall St destroys yet another company through sheer greed. Film at 11.
I will always say, “Fuck Carly Fiorina” for ruining the finest company in the engineering world.
Yup. A better simile is Boeing. Quality don’t matter if cutting it makes number go up. Oops.
Like FastPass at theme parks. You pay extra to stand in a shorter queue.
Yes, Teslas can charge at 250 kW, but they do not sustain that charging rate for long. As the battery charges, its charging rate drops. If newer battery technologies can sustain the higher charge rates longer, they could theoretically store more charge in less time.
Somebody a while back posted pictures of self-checkout kiosks asking for tips.
In California, restaurants were sneaking in 3% upcharges. They started out as “we’re adding 3% to pay the state-mandated health care costs for our employees.” It quickly progressed to “we’re add 5% to your total bill because fuck you.”
California recently mandated that practice illegal and requires all “extra fees” to be reflected in the prices instead.
Multiple restaurants stated (in public… recorded on TV, no less) that they “would lose business if they stopped this practice because then customers would know how much they’re paying up front.”
I was amazed at their candor. These “entrepreneurs” don’t even know how to be embarrassed by their greed anymore.
Ransomware you have to pay $10,000 every few years. Crowdstrike you have to pay $1,000 per month. Same number of outages for both. /s
You’re not wrong. I’d argue the iPhone was quite innovative. I laughed when I heard Apple was gonna take on Nokia. Nokia was a juggernaut at the time. Apple presented Nokia’s proverbial head two years later. Quite the turnover. Apple is still living off iPhone profits 15+ years later.
When one of your medium-sized customers felt the need to build their own processor design team, you’re in trouble. When their new design beats yours, you’re done.
The fastest way to save money is to stop spending money. Shut down the business and sell everything off brings in billions and costs nothing. Pure profit and I get huge bonuses! — Most financial/Wall St vultures
What ever happened to micro transactions? Weren’t they supposed to be the way we compensated web producers? Instead we got ads.
The Simpsons did it first.
