This ought to be really easy to rectify:

That right there should tell you how much added value this company provides.

Oddly enough, my 30-year-old stereo amplifier has one. I'll finally have a use for it!

As long as they talk slick, sound authoritative and sycophantic, and more importantly cost less than human labor, companies will replace human by mediocre AI.

Because capitalism is a race to the bottom.

You're using privacy-invading software made by privacy-invading Big Data companies using data stolen from millions of people. What did you expect?

If you don't want mass surveillance, avoid Big Data software.

1/100 the speed of compiled languages is typical for interpreted languages.

Non-ancient implementations of Java are fully compiled. Toy benchmarks and Java programs carefully written as if there were no automatic memory management (and don't call standard libraries) can run just as fast ac C code.

Java can't directly support features that depend on dynamic typing and similar flexible run-time behavior that interpreted languages. However, many Java developers sorely miss those features, so they heavily use the reflection APIs and various "beans" frameworks to work around the pre-compilable static typing. This can actually end up running *slower* than Python because many of those Java features are dog slow.

You can already get implementations of Python that do JIT compiling like Java. They often run in the ballpark of about 1/10 the speed of C.

This was actually invented by a guy sitting on a rug in the Middle East about 4000 years ago.

"For you?? ... Mmmm, I would give you the goat for twenty pieces of silver. Take or leave."

Mine's an MNT Reform. Even fully loaded, its performances are lackluster at best. Think entry-level laptop from 5 years ago kind of perforrmances. Or maybe top-of-the-line Raspberry Pi. But performance is not the point of this machine.

Still, sluggish though it is, it's quick enough for 95% of what I do. And since I'm not into modern games, it works fine for me for gaming too.

I bought my first ARM64 laptop last year, and while it's not 100% there yet - particularly in terms of performances for heavy desktop apps - it's a very convincing alternative to the traditional x86 stuff.

Have a nice day!

Microsoft trains their AI on corporate data, and most likely YOUR private data that you have to give your employer, produce for your employer under your real name using real information, and your LinkedIn.

Microsoft\s AI shit is a disaster waiting to happen because they've collected a lot of actual, sensitive, valuable data through Windows, Office 365, Teams and all the other cloudy garbage most companies use now, and because Microsoft has proven utterly incompetent with security for the past 50 years.

I'm much more worried about Microsoft's AI than Google's.

is a hallmark of fascism.

they sell themselves.

Either that or they're so unavoidable that people pretty much have to buy them, so crappy AI sales agents are quite enough.

I'll summarize YouTube's "shorts" algorithm:

1. Show Waffle Iron a row of shorts
2. Waffle Iron clicks on the "Don't show these" button.
3. Print "Got it. We'll adjust your preferences."
4. Sleep(a couple of days).
5. Goto 1.

When everybody's perception of reality is different, nobody can agree on any hard fact and society unravels.
