Not just not accurate but wrong.
That's like saying the price of the battery in an electric car is that car's price minus the price of a comparable ICE car. No, it isn't. There are more differences than just the battery.
And yes, of course they recoup their development costs. But that doesn't mean that the OP is right in this context.
Microsoft and Apple ensure that operating systems haven't got cheaper etc.
errr... Apple doesn't charge for its operating system. macOS literally doesn't have a price.
"Act of God" is a legal term of art. You should be blaming lawyers and governments.
An OS costs under $200 in 2026 dollars.
Seems to have gotten pretty cheap.
I think the concept is that if a company announces mass layoffs because AI yountax them per employee.
I assume what would actually happen is honesty in layoffs, notbtax revenue.
Because the there's about a 2%+ (Poland on the high end) swing in GDP for countries to feel internally secure.
That's either taxes or benefits cuts.
If we in the US get our heads out of our asses and start negotiating on medicine it'll be even more, since currently the US is funding a lot of medical research through high insurance prices.
No way they make half of them.
The vast majority of CPUs are ARM, and Intel isn't making many of them.
The reason Intel stayed flat (market cap) even as they pounded AMD in the bulldozer era is that they were also becoming a niche part of the CPU market.
Yes, but now you have it too complicated for 95% of the vibe coders. So they simply won't do it. Because skipping all of those steps still results in something that compiles.
They *should* be going back to managing their work flow with spreadsheets, like they used to.
They fuck up spreadsheets as well. A truckload of business-critical spreadsheets have errors in them that often go undetected for years.
It's hard enough to get actual developers to properly consider security. Not surprised at all that vibe coders don't.
Plus, of course, most of the training data is insecure to begin with.
But let them learn by fire that there's a reason actual programmers take time to ship a product, and it's not that the AI can type faster.
Problem is: We don't even know what consciousness is.
So the best we can say is if something creates the impression of having one, based on whom we attribute consciousness to, i.e. other humans. Well, big surprise that a model explicitly trained on human language and texts creates that impression. It does show just how good the models are. At pretending to be human because they have a shitload of examples on what humans would say.
For all we know, the gas clouds on Jupiter could be conscious, just in a way that is completely baffling to us. We can't rule it out because we don't know what consciousness is, so we can't test for it.
If an attacker has enough control of your machine to dump the password database, they have enough control to get it to retrieve the plaintext passwords
Not true.
An attacker may have a limited window. He might exploit some other vulnerability to do some operation with privileged access rights, but not have an admin shell.
Microsoft [...] stores passwords in plaintext in RAM
You're not saying?
But they take security so seriously. They said. They promised. This time for real. No, this time. Ok, next time.
I doubt it's AI slop.
Edge has been storing passwords long enough that I assume the password manager code predates AI coding.
This.
Whenever a politician claims that something is "to protect the children", you can be 100%, absolutely certain that it is not about the children.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo.
