We shall call it Preparation H

LOLZ U funny. Data centers create nearly no jobs for their size. A new Chik-Fil-A creates more jobs than a huge data center.

Ticking new boxes furthers the careers of company drones and bureaucrats. Maintenance doesn't.

Windows 10 has all of that as well.

And?

And now we'll just label all of our political opponents as Nazis and boom! no more needing to compromise on anything!

Nobody wants this shit.

I own, but do not operate, a few IT companies that manage corporations in the $600MM-$1B receivables range.

Based on our own help desk ticket software, our clients have opened 40% fewer tickets since ChatGPT was rolled out to every desk and phone. 40%. I expect another 40% drop (total 80%) by next year as end users just manage things themselves.

I won't downsize as the tickets aren't really generating revenue as much as headaches. One of my engineers had a broken PDF file that took her 6 hours to fix, and the end user spent 6 days trying to fix it themselves with Ai.

But -- the basic stuff? Reboot your computer stuff? Email rejected because you mistyped a domain name stuff?

You don't need a human, and we would probably have outsource that stuff to India anyway next year if not for ChatGPT etc.

I spend quite a bit on Discord server services, but I'm out.

GFY, Discord and governments, for mandating this bullshit nonsense.

Talking to people in public isnâ(TM)t harassment.

Talking to people on taxpayer funded grounds also isnâ(TM)t trespass.

Tax funded?

Not private property anymore.

Will this get me a step closer to the desired idiocracy where I can just veg in a comfy chair and watch Ow My Balls on a massive TV screen that is mostly covered in advertisements?

Larry never gave a fuck about Oracle's customers. In fact he made his billions specifically at the expense of the customer base. Why would he suddenly grow a heart now?

Starmer has no interest in controlling actual illegal immigration (the "boat peoples"). He only wants to make the average brit more surveilled.

Engineers want more design and more testing, but management just wants them to push shit out the door now so $$$ can be made.
