> example of why I remain self employed

There's a tradeoff: self-employed people will usually have to do more clerical and administrative work. I personally get bored with that and I'm not very efficient at it.

Maybe an old-fashioned keyboard/mouse automation tool can help some? (Can't vouch if adding AI to such helps.)

It could be to encourage learning the AI tools more so than automation itself. If you automate something that doesn't need automating, you are still learning to use the tool. Any real automation can be considered a bonus side-effect.

...what profits?

Sam and Elon should get a room and bang.

No! They might have demon-seed kids. The next generation doesn't deserve such horror.

Slap me!

(I'm getting a pay-wall, so can't verify.)

Skip grades altogether, but make sure everyone gets the equivalent of a B-minus at least (using traditional scoring). If you only get a "C" you probably didn't pay enough attention and don't deserve to pass. Allow one make-up test.

If they had better judgement they'd agree to a compromise or split instead of have a pettiness contest in public.

MS could be far more evil than they are, given their power and market-share. At least Satya is the devil we know.

Lying to the Board and lying to the public are different things.

It's just ordinary slang.

rivals like AMD and Intel offer competitive specs on paper, but their software stacks have struggled with bugs, compatibility issues, and weak adoption. As a result, Nvidia has built an Apple-like moat around AI computing, leaving the industry dependent on its expensive hardware.

Nvidia's competitors need to work together to improve open-source software tooling and to standardize hardware interfaces, or else go the way of Commodore and Tandy.

Cheapskate co. doesn't want to pay for retraining from one IT specialty to another.

Boeing MCAS, run!

PeopleSkillsGPT failed them

and that takes effort.
