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.

Odd, the ones I have been in to do work on "my" racks, it wasn't uncommon for me to see nobody at all (not even a guard) the whole time.
Just row after row of servers doing their thing. Sometimes I would see the manager or a tech updating something.
Assuming that no plant ever goes offline for any reason and that there will be no other growth in Kenya ever.
That costs money. They were hoping the locals would foot that bill for them.
How many data centers in your immediate area? Are they the modern high density data centers with thousands of GPU units per rack or the old school 4U's in a rack supporting a few websites kind of data center?
As for employment, when is the last time you saw a data center that was bustling with human activity once construction and move-in was finished?
That was a joke! backhoes breaking fiber is part of the natural order.
That's why you should always carry a length of fiber with you. If you ever get stranded with no cell service, you can just bury the length of fiber in the dirt. When the backhoe guy comes along to break it, ask him for a lift.
Typically when using those tools, not every "issue" found is actually an issue.
It does nicely illustrate that AI may do a deeper scan, but not necessarily a better one.
There are existing rules based scanners for websites. Running one on any typical site will easily spit out more than 100 flagged issues. Some "consultants" will dutifully hand that report over and call it a day, but if you actually go through them, most if not all aren't even actual security flaws. Yes, if I POST data that includes the correct username and password, it will grant me access just as if I had filled in the login form. So what? Yes, if I give an invalid account number, it returns a page with (non-)error code 200. The page says "Access denied".
That isn't to say the AI tool is bad, just that it represents an EVOlution, not a REVOlution.
How will the automated ditch digger be sure to find and break the fiber cable?
At least some of this will be stress. If you're enjoying something, then you won't be stressed. If you're feeling positive and delighting in what you do, then you won't be stressed in unhealthy ways. This looks similar to the Mozart Effect, which turned out to be that if you liked something, your brain functioned better.
Yes, charging around the stage playing rock music isn't exactly gentle, but it IS extremely good exercise for the heart and the rest of the body. Again, that's going to have positive effects.
(We can ignore Keith Richards in this model, as he's older than the universe and only created it as a place to store his guitars.)
I've heard the music that AI can produce. The run of the mill one hit pop stars are seriously endangered, but probably not actual musicians for fans with any level of sophistication (admittedly a smaller market).
Hand made guillotines are the future!
McDonald's already tried automation once and abandoned it.
If you try to print an entire gun, you'll most likely end up in the ER when you fire it. The plumbing aisle of the hardware store is much more relevant to preventing improvised guns.
That's the crux of it. We have a bunch of legislators squawking like frightened chickens about "printing guns" who don't realize that the essential parts that make it a gun can't be printed in plastic (unless you WANT to go have an ER physician pluck plastic bits out of your face).
Meanwhile, no regulation whatsoever on the plumbing aisle of your favorite hardware store where you can get parts for a useful improvised gun.
Experience varies directly with equipment ruined.
