Nobody wins in this mess. Nobody.

I have a nasty feeling that this bug will significantly impact Docker containers and many/most of them will not be updated anytime soon.

Root for all.

I don't really understand why this is a Slashdot story. But, I was intrigued to read it.

It seems like this is a recoverable situation, given some time. But, if you need to buy food and you can't access your money for a week or three, that's an irrelevant consolation. Once again, the man on the street is well and truly fucked.

So, other than labeling it AI and joining the AI marketing wave, how is this different than the recommendation algorithms from Apple, Amazon, Paramount, Hulu...

Will Netflix be more subtle in recommending its new titles? Or will they be recommended no matter what until we watch it and then less frequently after that?

Does the Waymo app advise on what kind of car I can get, or is that a crapshoot?

If I hail a Waymo, can I know that I will be picked up by the modified Jaguar SUV, or the ridiculous Zeekr Ojia nonsense?

And speaking of the Zeekr Ojai; it was my understanding that the U.S. has banned the importation of Chinese electric vehicles. So how is Google/Waymo able to order thousands of the Ojai when us plebs can't buy a Polestar or a BYD?

The odds of someone being hit by this are very small. Much much much less than 1%.

The odds of winning the lottery 1/300,000,000 (0.000000003%) are similarly small. Yet someone somewhere wins the lottery every few weeks.

So, you've gotta ask yourself. Do you feel Lucky? Well, do you, punk?

At the moment, I'm undisturbed by the AI coding. The bigger issue, for me, is a CEO decimating the company and what that means for the future of SuSE. SuSE has had it's ups and downs over the years. Attachmate was bad for SuSE. And, surprise, MicroFocus was much worse. I'm also over the crappy registration system for updates on every SLES host.

I've used SuSE for 30 years. But, after a long thought out decision to move to Debian, this announcement of decimation of the company just reaffirms my decision.

It is the corporation that is being sued over one if its services. I literally stated as much in the OP. Did you not read it? Or, were the words too big?

None of the Brave service in question runs on user's PCs. All of it runs in Brave's data centers.

It's all laid out in the article and the linked legal filing. Takes two minutes to read.

Corporate management is perhaps the most perfect application for AI(LLMs).

As yet, AI remains severely underutilized in the area of corporate management. When it gains traction -- and it will -- the increase in shareholder value will be among the greatest increases that we have seen since the industrial revolution.

Just imagine how agile a company would be with an AI CEO.

I've read the books and I've seen the films. Once the clankers start repairing and building themselves, the humans are in extreme danger.

Yet another reason supporting my recent decision to shift entirely to Debian.

Literally laughed out loud.

An idea so bold, unique, and unprecedented could not possibly be the result of mere human thought. This stroke of genius -- renaming data centers to AI Compute Campuses -- to avoid data center backlash can only be the result of Super Intelligence.

This is Super Intelligence manifest!

Because except for collecting 80% of the hair dropped on hard floors by shedding pets, these things aren't very good at cleaning. They are crappy carpet vacuums and the wet mop version are far worse still. Consuela would have to be truly neglectful to be replaced by one of these.

I so want robot vacs and lawn mowers to be good, but they are just not fit for purpose. And how can they be? How can anyone really think that they can replace a human operated 1.4kW full sized vacuum cleaner with these tiny battery operated dusters?

This is reprehensible. I hope that they all get their pants sued off. They deserve to be penalized even if it is only the lawyers that get the money.

But, let's keep things on the up and up. This:

Is pure speculation. Not fact. It should not have been included in the report.

Just the facts, Maam. - Joe Friday
