...somebody predicted humanity will be taken over by nuclear powered robots, I would have laughed and kicked them out of the dorm.

It's like suing casinos because your gambling addiction wiped you out.

For smallish departmental apps, MS-Access did the job fairly well and cheap (if set up right). There were better products for that, but Access won due to ubiquitous-ness and bundling.

Zuck will have to RE-stop moving fast and breaking things. Didn't learn from the Cambridge Analytica lawsuit.

Send him to Camp Move Slow And Be Nice. They'll force him to touch plants, smell flowers, and talk to real humans. (Let's hope he doesn't mix the verbs up.)

When a tool has gajillion features, the tool-bar/ribbon will end up seeming arbitrary anyhow. Categorization on a larger scale is simply a hard problem, partly because categories will start to overlap. I'd rather both orgs stop shuffling it around because one ends up using positional memory anyhow: keep the devil one knows.

Perhaps its better to leave most features in the top drop-down menu and let the user customize the tool bar (but still have a default set). The top drop-down menu could have a button on the right side that allows one to "pin" that feature to the tool-bar. People tend to use a limited set of features based on their shop preferences or domain. They can pin their favorites. If pin choices don't fit on one tool bar, have an option to either show multiple bars, an as-needed pop-down second+ bar, or left/right scroll-arrows. Assigning one's preferred keyboard shortcuts would also be nice.

That being said, L.O. Base sucks rotting eggs. MS-Access is far superior.

...as Musk would sell his children to Satan for an advantage. That's right up Donald's alley. (At least the kids Elon doesn't like.)

...housing NIMBYists.

Okay, but the US helped prop him up because he was anti-USSR.

Often companies have to learn the hard way. Many companies who outsourced everything to India-based IT firms during that fad's heyday often regretted it later when managing miscommunications costed more than the initial labor savings. Embedded domain knowledge matters.

Some projects did stay in India, but it wasn't the silver bullet of "cheap IT" that the hype nebula implied.

When the side-effects of "AI slop-ware" start adding up, I expect a similar pattern will follow. Yes, AI will take over some "traditional" tasks, but not all, and maybe not most.

USA already put in a pro-Western puppet. It eventually failed, and lead to the Ayatollah.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. They met the requirements because they passed the silly test.

1. Force employees to use AI
2. Brag to press how AI is making co. lean & profitable
3. Investors fall for it, thinking co. is cutting edge
4. PROFIT!
