If people didn't love them they wouldn't sell them. People around me are obsessed with giant trucks.

Ok, shut down data centers and AI farms first. Then I'll consider it.

designed for size, weight, power contraints, but no radiation hardening? Solar flares, cosmic rays, and other charged particles all unfiltered without atmospheric protection. How is an orbital data center going to cope?

1000 60 foot sattelites...what could possibly go bad? Can't wait for the day Kessler syndrome begins and puts up a giant middle finger to all the tech companies and militaries

The US has been afraid of those "nefarious Asians" for over a hundred years now.

Replace it with homegrown spyware

You'd have to be pretty dumb to trust or believe nearly anything published by the US government or its agencies now.

I'm not seeing a paywall on the site. uBlock Origin must be doing something.

The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

One of our guys said something to the effect of "Copilot is Corporate Chat. It knows all the useless filler of management-speak, but lacks the competence of the people in the trenches.

Ouch.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

They are doing everything they can to drive me away from their platforms. My main use of FB at this point is to stay in communication with some people and a couple of special interest groups I run.

In other words, "MS has invested so much into the AI boondoggle that everyone had better jump on board before I lose my bonuses and stock options."

Good luck with that with the cuts they've made to NASA and the general contempt for science in this administration. It would likely just be a way to funnel huge amounts of taxpayer money to a few favored companies. Like, ummmm, SpaceX.
