I work for a Microsoft shop and use Copilot a lot. When I have a hard question, I use Claude Opus, otherwise ChatGPT is fine.

Dude's got an impressive CV, no doubt. Using this to slam Microsoft is lame. He's written a ton of impressive code, literally using it as a CV to get a job at Microsoft (with SysInternals, nee WinInternals).

I hate how "ask" is now used as a noun. Although that's been around for at least 10 years.

To be fair, a lot of scientific endeavors are using "Don't Build the Torment Nexus" as blueprint... to build the Torment Nexus. I think we're safe with respect to our downfall being perpetrated by something with an appropriately villainous name.

Just ask the AI to write code to produce a good password. That will probably work just fine in every case.

Don't worry. The software to read this glass storage will require a subscription and need to run on 128GB of RAM and a 24-core processor, which will double every 18 months for the foreseeable future.

In far less than 10,000 yes, we will be able to throw any bitstream in the computer, define as many parameters as we might happen to know (e.g., "This is a document file created with XYZ software"), or perhaps none at all, and have the computer grok out the meaningful data stored therein. CDs can be read with electron microscopes if need be. There will always be a way to recover data; it just might not be cheap and easy.

You need to work "365" into that name...

I remember reading an article around '79-'81 about a laser storage system being developed that would become compact disc. I think commercially available music CDs were first released in 1983.

Who in their right mind would allow any app access to their contact list?

I can't anything good coming out of that, only bad.

As long as they don't make the rest of us look bad.

I treat everything I type into a computer that way. I always have and always will. Back in the 80s I figured I would never put anything online that I wouldn't want my mother to read.

There is no job in the world that involves the word "swarm" that can be managed competently and intelligently unless it's being done by literal insects.

... and all that stuff could be probably fixed with a few registry changes.

Like George Carlin said, it's big club and we ain't in it.
