Figure out who is reaping the benefits from the cost of living crisis facing the UK, US, CA, and others.

Close or nationalise their harmful "business" and get average people back on track to prosperity and improving the quality of life for each successive generation. Because not doing that is dumb, it's a path straight to revolution.

Back in the 80s, all I ever hooked up was a VCR. OH, and a TRS-80

At the end of the day (or quarter), companies do the calculus to decide if a potential lawsuit will be larger than the revenue. That's it, they only model two kinds of numbera and write them in black and red ink. And even staying in the black isn't critical if the board and executives are getting paid in other ways.

Back in the days the excitement around the atom bomb was huge, and the public perceive a newness of atomic technology and radioactivity. So we had not just radium on our wrist watches, but people also adding uranium, polonium, and thorium to products. With Firestone spark plugs, and Tho-Radia face cream being examples of the latter.

AI hype is the same thing. We're going to allow a lot of dangerous stuff enter into our society and when a bunch of people get hurt, we'll back off. But we can expect a lost generation when bad technology infiltrated our education system and leads millions of students astray. When they are unemployable, we'll just shrug and try to replace them with AI, and then forget that living, breathing human beings are going to steal and rob the rich if it's the only way to survive.

I'm not sure why they would be. I don't take the downfall of society personally, we were in decline before I was born. Or maybe it began WHEN I was born, hrmmmm?

Mystery solved. That's it exactly. Apple ships bash 3.2 which is GPLv2. The latest GPLv3 bash is version 5.3.

Airbus scenario:
- Airbus: "Hey, there might be a problem, let's recall 6000 airplanes."

Boeing Scenario:
FCC: Hey, one of your plane fell down.
Boeing: Fucking thrid world pilots don't know how to fly.
FCC: Hey, one of your plane fell down once again.
Boeing: Hmmm? What?
FCC: We ground all of your planes
Boeing: Ok, we will do a recall. See?

I'll take Airbus scenario any day.

You're soaking in it.

Logically only 60 or so years remain before AI can take over 100% of jobs. Assuming that we're all replaceable cogs where every job and every worker are equivalent.
The other factor, a constant rate of growth in AI's capabilities, is probably less of a hand-wave than you might think because we're going to be constrained on the sizes of the models, computational power of the servers, and of course electricity to run it all. We'll probably see a very brief exponential growth of AI then a slow as physical constraints kick in, we're already see exponential money burned on the problem with a likely linear pay off. Jensen's "The more you buy, the more you save." will probably work out as "The more you buy, your more you spent." for most AI bets.

/bin/bash is still installed, so people's typical shell scripts like command-line installers and whatnot still work.
I think the default being zsh is that it's less buggy and has some nice interface features.
The real question we should ask is not why Apple includes zsh by default, but why Ubuntu makes you install it before you can use it.

Starting your career as a barely literate dumb ass isn't going to be stacking the deck in your favor.
I managed to get pretty far in life that way, but I have spent years playing catch-up and reading like a fiend because everyone around me is better educated, more knowledgeable, and often smarter than me.

Apple has a handful of GPL programs and publishes their modifications. Bash being the most obvious example.

My tablet is usually used on my desktop. But a laptop is clearly not designed for a desktop, hence the name.
My favorite desktop device is a pad of paper and pencil. I even have a pencil sharpener to go with it on my desktop.

There are a lot of Linux users that don't hang out in the same bars as you. It's just like being gay, not everyone is out there and active in the community.

What in the world are people thinking? I'm not sure letting people have money is a good idea anymore.
