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.

Someone create a GoFundMe so we can buy him tickets.

1 I had assumed votes were private 2 If I don’t hear soon that votes are private, I’ll simply stop participating and return to lurking. I’ll eventually just wander off to the next thing that doesn’t expose my votes to potential bots and/or abusive actors.

What’s Putin worried about? He’s sure the Ukrainian invasion will be over in only 3 days. /s

Had McDonald’s chicken nuggets in Canada a while back. They were made of real chicken. I’m jealous that Canada gets real food.

A: “We really need this super-important and highly-technical job done.”

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.

What this will mean is middle management will fire all the line managers. Your only contact with management will be through one of their AI’s.

[Robot Voice] Work harder! Your vacation is denied. Don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions! There’s no way your solution will work. Drive this bus off the cliff or find another job! Write a 15-page self-assessment of your accomplishments this quarter. Your performance review is 0 out of 5. Your pay is cut 10%. No, I did not read your self-assessment. I didn’t have time. Our company has failed. I’m giving myself a $2M severance. You are fired.

Are you saying societal asymmetry is a social problem, not a technical one?

I so don’t understand how to run a business.

• Spend $Billions shoving advertising down everyone’s throats? Absolutely!

• Just make a good product and provide good customer support? It will never work!

Friend of mine calls Siri “Sorry” because it gets so many things wrong. 😂

There’s the “joke” about the king/billionaire being asked, “Aren’t you worried about people rising up against you?” He replied, “No, I’ll just pay other people to kill them.”

The thing keeping us from eliminating the billionaires isn’t the billionaires. It’s the ~40% of society that are convinced we have to have billionaires to survive. Those people always come up with unending lists of reasons why we just can’t survive without people of unimaginable wealth and power.

It’s not the billionaires. It’s the enablers.

Every new business model now is just insinuating themselves into an existing structure so they can grift/leech money out for themselves. They call it “innovation “.
