As long as they continue to help him overthrow democracy, it’s performative bullshit.

My theory is: free publicity. Just like the fashion industry comes up with ridiculous clothes that no one would ever wear, attention whores will constantly do outrageous things so that people will talk about them. The number of electrons spilled over this stupid mouse port placement over the years is uncountable. But the repeated conversations keep Apple in the public consciousness as a fashionista.

If I didn’t know better, I would say this sounds like Farley giggling and winking in order to make a play for his next CEO gig.

All those teachers over at the middle school ARE pretty elitist.

That is the nature of greed. There is no thought of the future or consequence.

In my experience, groups of people will ignore inconvenient but correct answers until the problem explodes into their collective faces.

“The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.” – George Orwell

I just tell them I don’t have a phone. Even if I’m still holding it in my hand. Most don’t want to engage. They likely figure they’re not payed enough for that.

Sam Altman is demonstrating the power of AI. He’s showing how a single CEO can fire the entire company and continue to develop the product to be even better than when humans were involved.

“OpenAI. No real humans involved!” ™

I know this sounds made up, but it isn’t. I had to talk down a family member who accused Democrats of supporting “after birth abortions”. My response:

“No X, that’s called Infanticide. It’s illegal in all 50 states.”

Don’t know if he still believes it, but I encouraged him to look it up online and he later conceded.

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

He should take the opportunity to blame the truck design on a cyberattack as well.

Trump chose Vance because he knows no one could possibly “like” Vance more than Trump.
Trump’s narcissism prevents him from choosing someone even remotely likable or capable because Trump’s ego would fear them as competition.

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.

Back in 2000, Time-Warner decided to purchase AOL. AOL had spent the last 5 years bleeding (dial-up) customers to their main competitors… anything that wasn’t dial-up.

Time-Warner hailed the “merger” as the Deal of the Century.

Later, Time-Warner admitted, “We didn’t realize that all those customers we thought we had purchased could simply leave.”
