How many of these sign ups were actually humans vs bots?

The irony of a "bot" signing up for AI courses!

AI - Great! There's no blockchain integration? No Crypto transactions? I'll pass!

But you pay more for better advertisements!!!

BINGO! A tip/bonus is for when someone does a great job. A tip/bonus isn't for someone who showed up and did their base level work.

Too bad people think they're "too busy" to do something like picking up their own food. Remember that we live in a society where people are too busy/lazy/overwhelmed to go grocery shopping for themselves and would rather pay someone to do that.

I want a chatbot to talk to the chatbot's that are supposed to be customer service. It'll be Thunderdome style. Two bots go in. One comes out.

In the meantime, nothing of value will be lost.

I can't fault IBM for this history of sales fads/attempts. If people are dumb enough to believe the hype, you might as well milk that cash cow!

I'm sure the /. neck-beards remember their fair share of Y2K fleecing.

Mandating that all students take a class like this will cheapen it and treat it like mandatory foreign language classes. Keep it as an elective so that the quality of class participation doesn't get tainted by students enrolled because they have to as opposed students that are enrolled because they want to.

I'd trust Evernote to be around in a year over most services that Google offers!

As if there weren't enough people buying bottled water (because they don't want dem kem-i-killz) already, here's more ammo for them to buy bottled water!

It's sickening how often you see people in US grocery stores buying multiple cases of bottled water weekly. It's like they're stocking up for a sub-Saharan safari, except their kids are just going to school! There's no water shortage. There's no cholera in the US drinking water supply. Look at a drinking fountain in an airport. The surface is dry. Why? Because culturally there's a belief that tap water is bad and this of course is reinforcing that belief.

I'll take my dose of forever chemicals, cancer causing agents, and the inevitable tail that will grow from my backside if it means fewer plastic bottles fucking up the ecosystem.

Actually, the slow roll out will create artificial scarcity. If it's scarce, then it must be valuable. If it's valuable, it must be a great product. Right? Riiiiiight?

The AI will create their business plan!

MS is probably going to start charging subscriptions for use of the cameras on these devices and this code "enhancement" slipped out early.

I'm halfway joking but after seeing what others are doing with making hardware features available via subscription, I won't be surprised when MS/Apple/Google start doing this.

They'll wait until the dust settles and then they'll buy a lower tier company for cheap and then put their name on it.

At least Oracle isn't involved in this race... yet!
