Yes. All of the above.

Indeed. It also attracts malicious people because with a badge or the like they can mistreat others without punishment.

Thank you.

What I was referring to is that they probably do not understand that LLM-type AI is a bubble.

No. I have a Fairphone. No problems with updates.

Interesting. I was not aware of that.

There is no need for a new phone every year. Just get one that comes with updates for a longer time. Unless you use your phone to compensate for personality defects or are into dating women that only want guys with the newest iPhone (is this really a thing?), in which case, paying through your nose is kind of expected.

From my experience, I mostly find answers in several year old postings and even that not consistently enough. There is also a lot of bad answers. Not that LLM answers are any better. There is quite a bit of slop produced both by humans and machines.

Indeed. Incapability from having too much money, arrogance, power.

Indeed. While I doubt these people understand the problem, they are doing good by accident. The less money invested when the bubble pops and it all crashes, the shorter and less devastating the recession afterwards.

I would expect that competent people make it on the second or at least the 3rd attempt. Intel failed 6 times by this count. AMD, on the other hand, needed one attempt to succeed and that is why it is the AMD64 architecture. What a crass difference.

It is really surprising how long bad ideas keep staying around. Itanium is a monument to the sheer incompetence of Intel when it comes to CPU design.

Not really. But it is the one most overstaying its welcome.

So you are on favor of broken laws? How is that a good thing?

Clearly the whole venture is a bad joke when they cannot even get somebody competent to read through the thing before making it a law.
