In his 1978 book, Working, Studs Terkel noted that a then-recent study said that 80% of *everyone* wasn't just unhappy with their job, but actively hated it.

47 is looking out for the long-term interest of the 95%, and not just the billionaires? Really? Hey, I've got this bridge for sale...

And we are assured of this by an anonymous coward, who is *surely* not just parroting their politically correct party line, but is speaking with loads of actual evidence from other economists. /s

From the Anthropic lawsuit, they said their revenue was about $5B... and were operating at a loss.

Oh, and data centers? I read that they might be good for, um, three years, before they're outdated...

First, where's all the people worring about China's falling birthrate, and the headlines about "there won't be enough workers"?

Second... and all the people who are put out of work will live where? And pay for food and internet how?

You want an example? 15 or so years ago, google news would show me headlines from around the world, including, for example, the Asia Straights Times, the Hindustani, and the Scotsman. Now, I can't remember the last time I saw a piece from the Asia Times, and I've just today seen the *first* thing from the Hindustani in years... and that was because of a launch of an underwear line by Kardassian.

Yeah, sure, nothing to do with a) budget cuts, and b) the desire of 47 to have Mu$k be a replacement for NASA (and get kickbacks from him).

Thirty years ago, I had a course (before I got my B.Sc) in OOPs and GUI. OO design I found interesting. OOP, not so much - the closer you got to the code, the fuzzier the picture.

Since then, hell, for about 20 years, I've been saying you want a clipping of Godzilla's toenail, and what they give you is Godzilla, with a tiny frame around part of his toenail. Invoke x, then you can invoke this method x.y, then you can invoke x.y.z... Rather than invoke z directly, because you don't know how to do that, and because it's hidden, buried in a library that no one has any index to find.

Augmented or enhanced reality - letting you see and hear more, for example,sure. But this? Right, what next, will it show ads while in a firefight?

Instant reaction: the grunts in 'Nam, when they were first issued M-16's, HATED THEM passionately. The idiots had designed them to really close tolerance... which did not work in mud, dust, and monsoon.

Oh, yes, then there's the other story on this page, about the software quality collapse...

Of *course* they are. They've made everything else an ad server, and it's the only way that might begin to make a profit for chatbots that are failing in their (false, snake oil) promises. (See the McKinsey story from last week).

You're talking about the CEO and the rest of the C-suite, eh?

I think your numbers are at least ten years old. You've missed the prices, and the stories here on slashdot, have been dropping like a rock.

If I had the money - I'm on social security - I'd get rooftop solar... which would be about $20k.

No, your statistics aren't better, give that there are about 1.4B Catholics.

Charlie Stross labels it craptialism.

Dear Anonymous Coward,

      Uh, nope. You don't even know what Philly sounds like. As I like to say, it's half-way between New England and the South. Oh, and Italian. And eastern European. And...
