You wish. But you just exposed yourself as a member of the "cult of AI". You seem to think AI is magic. It is not.

If being in the cult of AI means that I use it on a daily basis for software development, security pen testing, and system automation and monitoring. I guess you got me. I am well aware of what it can and can't do. And it is very much more capable than you appear to believe. And you're going to be quite shocked when you realize how wrong you were.

...so that military spending is needed. It did not do it from alone, it was a set goal, so no news here.

If their idea of marketing was "hack our business partner, get reported to the feds, then our business partner has to use a chinese competitors product" that's not a very good marketing plan. Your argument makes little sense.

In many places the cost of putting in new fiber even where the poles and other infrastructure exists is cost-prohibitive.

This isn't really true anymore. Fiber used in telco can go many hundreds of miles and costs vastly less than 20 years ago. The equipment on the ends costs a tiny fraction more to go longer distances (or in some cases the exact same as short haul). The only big expense, is the manpower to drive a truck down the road and hang the fiber on those poles. Which is the part they don't want to do, and is exactly the part they agreed to do to get all the benefits of being a monopoly.

As someone who's been on VOIP for around 8 years now, what's wrong with that?

I am not arguing for or against AT&T. That said, in the majority of the locations AT&T wants to discontinue POTS service, there is no internet available. ATT would need to run fiber at great expense to bring internet to these homes.

Comment Cops were actually well behaved, shockingly. (Score 4, Interesting) 132

I just watched the bodycam footage from this, and to my surprise these cops were very well behaved. They never cuffed the guy, or in any way escalated the situation. They figured out very quickly it was a mistake and let him on his way.

This is rare in the world of today's policing. So you gotta give credit to these guys. Everyone involved kept cool heads.

Absolutely no bitching.

Exactly. My brother-in-law was on a tirade about government overreach at our July 4th festivities. He didn't believe me until I showed him a FOX NEWS article that his president OrangeMan created said law.

I said "Brother, you voted for this. You have to live with it."
