...because they merely expect AI to replace existing tasks. Whether it actually does is more nuanced. For example, many employees pressured to use AI say it makes their tasks harder by creating AI slop that needs cleaning up. They have to deal with mistakes that wouldn't be in a human draft or in existing time-tested templates. If and how fast employees will get better models or learn to prompt better is unknown.

It's essentially management's gamble. Those in the C-suite often don't spot or are slow to understand front-line patterns, as nobody likes delivering lackluster news to higher-ups. They'll typically hear, "There are a few learning curve hiccups, as expected, but we're making progress" even if the productivity ship is taking on a little water.

I never activated Sirius, but twice a year they have a free week or so of music as a promotion. I don't do anything with or about that, but "weather alerts" start popping up. It's naturally windy in my neck of the woods so I get bajillion alerts that require pushing Dismiss while driving, but often cannot turn the alerts completely off because the Weather Alert "Off" feature is only available some of the time, but I cannot tell when without going into the menus, which present music options first. If it's not stealth spamming it's crappy UI coding. Either way, it sucks. I contacted Surius once and they said it cannot be fully deactivated. I may have a mechanic cut the antenna wire to Sirius but am afraid it would break GPS also.

but I can't track it down. Memory usage and disk/SSD look fine. I suspect either GPU or some weird OS stack gets full or confused. Windows 10 has a secret bladder that needs a diaper.

There were such people on TV too, if you watched the right (wrong) channels. Often music show hosts. The director wasn't prescient, he just was in touch with a trashy culture which hadn't quite hit mainstream yet.

That's interesting, because the main thing I've heard about him is that he did turn into a dickhole, having a reputation for being extremely cynical in his pursuit of clicks and profit and abusive to his staff.

Yes, I know XiWare is likely snoopish, but so is GoogleWare. At least make the jerks compete.

Executives can't resist shoving a new spam channel into your face. Even if they can't use it immediately due to regulations etc., the possibilities make their greedy marketing glands swell with giddiness.

SiriusXM is already spamming my older model vehicle using tricks to get me to poke around in their music menu by pretending to malfunction. Long story, but here is similar behavior.

No one is going to visit a website they can't even pronounce let alone spell.

No evidence was given that math skills are atrophying because of AI, nor was that even claimed in the op-ed, which criticizes slipping testing standards.

It's race between cheaper and stingier. Like the Bungle of Hormuz, too early pick a winner

Also fighting among themselves. Don't see this mentioned yet, but "Round Hill Music" is a copyright troll, a private equity roll-up buying up music catalogs to "monetize them" in ways like this. Independent music publisher my ass. No creative endeavor whatever is served by money accumulating to this entity.

That was an infamously bad ruling, and a good reminder of how the court system actually works when a judge thinks you're some long-haired furriner freak.

It's cargo cult logic. The rules only matter when the outcome doesn't. Everyone has a good impression of the court system until they come in contact with it.

If the crash takes your job with it, you're still hosed.

Its a paid feature. You don't get it for free.

We have had access to this in Canada for a long time but it is ridiculously overpriced so I don't pay for it.
