Small teams running the show is the new normal. AI coding assistants mean that software engineers must also be product engineers, well enough to explain how to build features from soup to nuts, to LLMs. I know. this is what I do for a living now.

You can turn off auto-updates, but you'll be sorry in other ways.

When you copy files to your computer, that's after you have clicked 'Install' or whatever (or passed the -y flag on the CLI). That's your consent to install the app, and copy the files that come with it to your computer. There is no additional consent required. What the fuck are they even on about with this clickbait nonsense?

When the top ten billionaires have to sell their shares of apple to pay the tax man, it's also your mutual funds and retirement accounts that take the hit on the value as well. When it comes time to pay the tax man, billionaires will have to sell assets to pay the bill. That selling will massively dislocate the markets. Even if only the top 1% of holders have to sell in order to make it happen. Just watch and see. This will be educational.

It'll spread downward pressure on assets that person held and destroy a lot more wealth than they will pay in taxes. This is what will ultimately wake everyone up to the danger of wealth taxes: liquidity issues.

This move is driven by Broadcom acting like a private equity manager. They found a place to extract a temporary revenue stream, they're going to milk it, and then sell it off before it becomes too much of a liability.

Broadcom executives surely saw the negative pushback immediately after they started their rug-pulling licensing effort. If they intended to keep this market and their position in it, they would have adjusted their behavior immediately. Instead they're going to rake everyone as they walk out the door. And until they can walk out the door. They knew that they would lose all of these customers in the medium term, but my guess is they figure that the industry is shifting away from paying so much for VMs so they will squeeze the last bit they can out of this dying market. I think they are fully prepared to spin this off if it decides to be a drain on their balance sheet. So far, there's just a lot of angry, paying, enterprise customers giving them free money for something they didn't even have to build. It's a gravy train, quite literally.

Yes. That is more plausible.

Bloomberg is also a data service with higher level access to the markets. The box and the software on it aren't what they are selling. They're selling access to the info in .. and this is the important part that perplexity will never match... in near real time.

Because the FIFA peace prize is a made up token meant to eliminate friction with an ego maniac?

It's still voting with our wallets. By removing our eyeballs, ChatGPT loses more impressions of advertisements to sell. It is a big deal to them.

Traffic Cams are being installed everywhere in the USA

No, you've just articulated why this tool will actually not be used as a legal solution to anyone's copyright problems.

Lots of people use similar musical constructs in their songs and nobody gets the copyright for any of it. For example, Lean on Me is a C scale. Not everyone who writes a song that walks up and down the C scale, nor even the same portions of it as are used in that song, has copied from Lean on Me. But this is what we are going to get from an AI that detects these kinds of similarities. It will not be able to tell anyone that they copied it specifically from them. More trash, move on.

The term ultra-processed foods is one of those "I'll know it when I see it" definitions so far. Until they can actually define what that term means and use that as a meaningful way to identify foods that have common characteristics that may be bad or good under what circumstances, then anything someone says about his dangerous they are is full of shit because there is no category.
