Maybe. Yet the pop. seems to accept the least acceptable widget or service if it is cheap enough. And the current AI strikes me as being cheap enough, even with the hallucinations. Buy something Amazon who shipped you A-Number-One-Widget? It sucks but only cost $4.99 a pop.

At least currently, you must know enough to tell when the AI is telling you the truth or has been dipping in the funny mushrooms.

Being pink unicorns, they can fight entropy if they carry enough energy in their spaceship, they can fix their spaceship and themself. Humans don't know how to fix themself and always die.

What makes you think "military certified" means anything? This is Microsoft, the best the U.S. Gov. could do is use SE Linux, but then how would those brain-destroying Pooperpoints get made?

The home-grown stupidity is right up there. Jimmy Kimmel had someone out in the street asking random people what was the recent eclipse. The answers were so bizarre that I wonder how these people haven't taken themselves out of the gene pool from sheer stupidity.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Huh? I don't think we need to bring the ability to believe the former alleged president into this.

"DEI people" = anyone who not a male Caucasian. Using the term DEI is all the rage these days in Fox Land.

You are banking on MS allowing you to run Linux on their box?

For me a bigger problem is that I'd have to use Windows. I'd rather eat a broom soaked in old, cold hot dog water.

If you want to see how racism still exists, read https://www.nber.org/papers/w3.... The results of that paper were reported in the NYTimes:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/0....

To summarize: "On average, they found, employers contacted the presumed white applicants 9.5 percent more often than the presumed Black applicants."

Now go back into your little racist molehill and continue to try to build that into a mountain, the former alleged president is proud of you.

Sharing the three-letter agencies' information also reveals to the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, and the Norks the three-letter agencies' capabilities. Now they could share with NIST but that too gets sticky as NIST isn't really set up to handle those kinds of security.

NIST's problems are the result of not adequately funding the internal operations of the government as opposed to things like SS, Medicare, Medicaid. The R's don't give a flying rat's ass about the government operations (deep state and all that they learned to parrot from the Whore of Turkey, Erdogan) but will be first to whine incessantly when the government cannot do something they like banning abortion or cramming Christianity down everyone's throat or the weapons programs spending money in their districts or states.

What they could really do to make theirs stand out against Amazon's is make it recognize the sound of peeing dog.

But it will be "proformant", that darling word of marketeers everywhere.

Q: Why is your whizzy thingy better than this other one?

Marketeer: Ours is Proformant!!!

Q: Errrr....I give up, what does that mean with respect this other one.

Marketeer: Theirs is not Proformant!

Q: Why isn't theirs proformant?

Marketeer: The word is "Proformant!", and theirs lack Proformicity.

Q: I'll try again, why is your proformant.

Marketeer: Listen the word is "Proformant!". Ours is proformant because....because...(rustles notes)....that's question for Engineering!

Q: Why is it an engineering question?

Marketeer: The word is "Engineering!". You will have to talk to Engineering! for that answer.

Q: Thanks, I now know what to buy.

Marketeer: (goes back to office and sees boss) I just convinced someone our Performant! Widget it better than our competition.

Boss: Ah, you are very Proformant!

Marketeer: Uh-oh...

Hey Einstein, read this: https://science.nasa.gov/earth...

No, just the mosquitos. It turns out they Really like warm temperatures. So much in fact the are moving out of their tropical paradises into the subtropical zones. And they bring their buddies such as dengue fever and host of other maladies.
