Exactly! Well "The cloud" was the pusher giving the first fix free, and AI was the next thing. Meanwhile when things screw the pooch. And now, that so called "overpaid olde farte" was pushed out or retired with incentives is gone, and the vibe coders are hoping they can vibe code teh solution because no one knows what is in the code, and they might not know what to do with reading it anyhow.

Ironically or maybe not, Bean counters often cost more than they save.

I heard it was Clippy's revenge.

Someone in here turned me on to these people. Schrödinger's backup. A fun view, and the music is decent https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Only Spacex can make a picture perfect return that didn't come back to the place it was supposed to.

I'll bet you think the Flying car is an actual flying car you'll be driving some day.

This is the unfortunate thing about the cult. Even the failures are perfect.

Wut? Have you ever had a security clearance? You can very well bet that if you are applying for a job with a clearance, that it will appear both on your employment forms, your background check, and if there have been any issues.

Google or DDG Nvidia and department of defense. Nvidia is deep inside that world. And as CEO, He has access to it all.

So as I noted, yes, a simple workplace affair is one thing. Compromise of state secrets is another. And being CEO does not indemnify a person if the compromise (s) is bad enough.

Except when an actual crime has been committed. The company cannot move on to protect a person who has committed espionage.

So you are continuing to hammer on that a workplace affair is more important than espionage.

Huang will not be managing the crisis. He will very likely be hiring lawyers and may be making a plea deal or going to trial. We do not know yet. But he isn't in control at this point. There will be a very thorough investigation, and Ms Huang will be drug into it. Maybe Jerome never shared a thing with her. Maybe he did. But in the scheme of things, if he shared state secrets with her, that is a crime. My guess is that there has been an investigation going on for some time now.

I dunno the extent of all of this, but make no mistake, when getting to the level of of exposure this is, the legal system and DoD looks at compromise as something much more important than banging Cindy, the receptionist. Like jail time important.

Yeah - and while I don't know, we have a number of competing things going on. We have the presumably rushed AI implementation for air traffic control. Presumably humans making the choice after AI suggests it. Maybe it does. Certainly there is plenty of room for stupidity there.

We have Microsoft's screwup ongoing. With a number of sites I use every day, that pop up "we're doing maintenance right now, check back later" that started when O365 went down, there is a non-zero chance those two things are related.

So what we do have is with the AI implementation, we do know that flight control has it's head deep up the internet's bunghole, that Microsoft screwed the pooch, and their actions after may or may not have something to do with their focus on AI, their layoffs and their retirement incentives ending up with knowledgable people leaving, and noobs trying to restore service.

Could it be as simple as unrelated hacking?

Anyhow, this is all conjecture, and neither Microsoft or the government has been very forthcoming, so the rumor mills start.

"You're right, there was another aircraft in the path of where I redirected traffic, that midair collision is on me. Would you like to learn more about minimum separation requirements?"

This. Schools should just accept the upgrade to an alternate search engine.

I've had enough counter-espionage reports. They are out there, every nation uses women to compromise men. To say I'm personally not immune sorta kinda true, just like no computer system is perfectly secure. But I know what the deal is.

Pay attention to the news. AI, which has military and defense implications with high level espionage and crimes involved This whole debacle is expanding daily. Banging a few women at work is salacious stuff, but in the big scheme of things, it happens every day, and pales in relation to national security, and unsurprisingly the issues are expanding as we write - even to members of the Trump administration, Namely the Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, and Trump himself has been embracing Huang. Here deny this: https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ho... https://apnews.com/article/nvi...

If Huang was simply caught banging a couple subordinates, it is a compliance issue. He'd be fired, they might be fired or demoted or reprimanded. But he was compromised and there are national defense issues. So if you think that the workplace affairs are the big issue, you might think again. At some point, the department of defense takes this stuff quite seriously. Humans cheat, but espionage gets extra attention.

The FAA just grounded flights all over. Halted all departures. A coincidence?

I read a story where the idiot writer said planes would likely be allowed to land. Ummm if a plan is in the air, it will 100 percent eventually land. We just like it to be on an airport runway.

Sorry for the second post - apparently this is blowing up a bit, and might end up being treated as a true espionage security breach, that is spreading out to include members of the Trump administration. Gonna get dicey and we'll see what happens in January.

I couldn't agree more. There are a lot of men who are idiots, and age usually mellows men to make better sexual decisions. Agressive CEO's might have a tendency to "take" what they want and not use discretion. There is another aspect however. Unless the men involved raped the women involved, the women gave consent to have the fling and the sex. And the women are aware that there are men who will have sex with them if they consent.

This is in no way not condemning the men. Huang is old enough that he should think with something other than his dick. I just make notice that these things always put women as victims. All of these people are sleazebags, not just the men. The only actual victim is Huang's wife. And the true villain is the woman spy.

I've had the opportunity a few times. But I knew better than messing up my career and marriage for a work fling. I also knew that adversarial countries have always used sex to compromise people.

Yes, bad choices for certain. Compliance issues. But being involved in corporate espionage is a whole new level of stupidity.

And, how can I say this sensitively.

She is young and quite attractive https://technode.global/wp-con...

He's old, short and not terribly good looking. Money is his only plus.

And to be blunt - If he wants a little on the side, there are discrete ways of getting it. I would certainly be very skeptical if someone like her were to approach me. I'm not young either, but I have resources, am "tall enough" and reasonably fit and put together, and I'm told I have rugged good looks. But if she approached me, I'd reject her because I'd be pretty certain there was something messed up.

Probably was. Problem was he was banging a woman who was collecting data for an semi-adversarial country. That goes pretty far beyond compliance and into a whole new area.

Sure, But not everyone is in that situation. I'm forced onto online O365 online. Forced on Outlook online.

My only recourse has been capturing the Outlook email and forwarding that to a different address, and installing Libre Office. Because I knew that at some point, this would happen. Watching Microsoft "abandon" anything other than AI, and having people laid off, take advantage of retirement incentives, I wonder who left that knows how to fix the problem?

SO at the moment I don't get email from a lot of people I need email from that are in teh same boat. I can't capture it to another email address because their email isn't working and it doesn't get to me at all.
