TBH though they're right that it isn't AI at fault. AI, in its current form, is not, despite the marketing hype including losers here, autonomous, intelligent, and capable of being handled the burden of responsibility. It is ultimately a tool, and someone chose to use that tool, and someone chose to give that tool the powers it had.

Maybe those are two different someones. Maybe it was an inevitable result of an AI mandate from management, or maybe it was a combination of an AI mandate from management and misjudgements by the engineer or engineers who set it up.

But every single person in that chain is human. And ultimately the major issue may be with the idea of an AI mandate in the first place, because, frankly, its been forced on us for 3-4 years now, and you'd have to be wholesale deranged to think requiring the use of AI for every task is a good idea.

Why not call it the AI Corps, or even the Fraud Corps? If you call it the latter maybe you can include cryptocurrencies in their mission?

"Brand awareness probably plays a role here." Gee, you think?

I'd say maybe, but those same people still own the messaging channels. It's hard to get a read on whether or not it'll turn over generationally. I'd say the youth are drinking the koolaid these days.

I posit you have mental problems.

Lol this stupid administration was like "here's some money to make cheese, that'll make us look good people want cheese" .. and DOGE was like "here's some cheese, trust us it's cheese" and they drop a fucking block of cement on the desk. Just back scratching all the way around.

You have to pay for the cost of upgradaing at some point, but cmon US, this is your tax base you're talking about. Outside of *where* that money goes (it's impressive a country is so full of people who think too much goes to the military but yet so much goes to the military) why would you want to kneecap revenue collection? I'm consistently impressed by how the US raises so many adults who think their country would be better with a government that had no money to do anything. No welfare, no health care, all infrastructure private, etc .. the mentality is bananas, almost *because* of how obvious it is to land there.

If it's free, you're the product.

We live in an age of wonderfully empowered idiots. Yay computers.

Don't you have some street corner to be ranting on?

KVMs are incredibly popular, especially since the advent of WFH when they're an ideal way to ensure a desktop and "the company laptop" can share a good keyboard and couple of screens.

They were once a thing rarely seen outside of data centers, today they're a commodity item.

well yes, my point is its easier to award merit - and appreciate - a film that tries despite limited resources and fails to be great vs a company like disney that has all the resources in the world

despite being not being a great film, per se, AV Club seemed to very much appreciate it's DIY ethos and laudable handicraft

yes, the US is investing in being awesome by legislating having to repeat "I'm awesome" as often as possible, making saying "I'm not awesome" come with real consequences

let's see how it works out
