Class Action Lawsuit should be available, right?
And I would suggest that any terms of service that changes functionality AFTER purchase is not a legal contract, as there is no option to negotiate. Terms of Service changes that take consumers' rights away should be null and void, IMHO
You don't think they tested it?
The DEI hires most certainly did test it. They programmed (aka "trained") it do be 100% woke like them. The problem isn't the AI, it is the people.
The problem with DEI type people, they think "diversity" and immediately assume everyone is the same given certain immutable characteristics. Those values were reflected in the results. Results that showed how utterly stupid that framework actually is.

Cellphone. one of the most used Computing devices, more powerful and capable than computers just a decade or so ago.
Linux on the desktop arrived, and people didn't notice (Android). The desktop screen size shrunk (physically), but has better than VGA graphics. People shift if you don't tell them you are changing their OS.
I'm a bot?
Oh no!!!!!
Anyways
Most people Do Not need MS OSes any longer. There is no "value add" to them at this point for Home/Small Office. The Lone exception is perhaps Excel needs. Everything else can be substituted with other platforms and software options.
There are use cases for specific software products, but with containers taking off, those will become less platform specific.
The Nursing Program at our local University requires BS degree just to get in. It's two years after that.
Residency is after 4 years of Med School, after completing Doctorate. It is technically supervised practice of Medicine, not education.
And if you wanted, you could tack on specialization studies for those that require even MORE.
Yeah, six years vs eight years
In my fantasy land, we'd have a variety of medical professionals with levels of expertise that all can be called "Doctor". My best example is the modern RN, whose knowledge and skill exceed that which were called Doctors 70 years ago. Literally better suited to be Doctoring than those of yesteryear.
In 90% of my health care needs, I'd rather have a RN than a Doctor. But the laws and regulations say I can't because they are not "doctors". (Nurse Practitioners are exception to SOME of those rules).
My point is we need regulation and yet that regulation gets in the way of advancement. We need to constantly revisit those rules to see where improvement can be made.
It's not socialism, because it wasn't compelled. The transaction was 100% free will gift and not demanded by anyone and no vote was ever taken, short of the Lady Dr herself.
THIS is free enterprise (not capitalism) and thus is okay. The benefits of Free Enterprise is that people can do what they want with their money, free from dictates from others. Socialism demands compliance and fails when people can opt out. It eventually fails anyway, because people can't opt out.

On the flipside - I've never seen a hydrogen refueling station.
And it's not getting better... there are only 58 across the US and Canada right now, and some are closing soon: https://www.hydrogeninsight.co...
- Takes forever to recharge
You charge at home while you're asleep. If you take a longer trip, you'll likely be eating and needing a bathroom break when it's time to stop to charge anyway. Even in a car like the Bolt where the DCFC rate is pretty slow by today's standards (55kWh), it's really not that bad. I recently made a round trip from Orlando to Jacksonville and by the time I was done eating, it was time to unplug and get back on I-95.
Fellow Bolt owner here. Took a recent vacation, 180 miles each way. Wanted to use the EV but drove the old pickup instead, because the cute California vacation town had all of six chargers, none near our hotel. I don't take it camping either, for the same reason. The Bolt is my happy daily driver, but I can't cut out the gas pump entirely yet.
I wish electric vehicles were a viable solution, I really do. But they aren't and never will be. -- Do you really think that the owners of large apartment complexes are going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to install chargers? The same people who already have to constantly be sued just to get them to comply with existing building codes? Yeah, good luck with that.
I think that it will be an attractive feature for some, and required by city governments for new construction in other cases. To read the news, this country has a history of not building cheap affordable basic housing but instead targeting the high-earners and the luxury market. So if they install chargers, they can get the Tesla and Polestar drivers to consider renting from them. If you can afford a pricey car, maybe you can afford a pricey apartment. Not everyone will do it, but it can happen.
Remember Psystar? Back in 2008 they started manufacturing an Intel based system with Max OS X preinstalled. Apple sued them into the ground.
The recent announcement was simply a piece of code that allows AMD hardware to be compatible with CUDA. It doesn't replace CUDA, which is still required. Any company including that code is likely to go the way of Psystar.
That's not what the article is about. You're looking at it from the user's point of view: to you, using service X from your home is easy because it's SaaS and you don't need a VPN. Cool.
However, the article refers to the enterprise side: if that service X that you're using runs on a cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure...) then they're probably see higher costs in areas such as mass storage or computing power and it would be cheaper to run their own infrastructure on a datacenter.
From your point of view as a user it doesn't matter whether the service runs on a cloud provider or a datacenter somewhere.
