Comment Frankenstein's Containers (Score 1) 64

This sounds truly awful. The thought of integration with Intune and Defender just brings on the nausea in all kinds of unpleasant ways.

Why *anyone* would be using Windows for container workloads is a bit of a mystery, although I suspect that this is a half-baked precursor to convincing people that utilising AI-orchestrated container ensembles on Windows is a "fun and funky" thing to do. No doubt the MS stans out there will find some cognitively dissonant rationale for why this is cool and rad bro.

Some Olympic level AI brainfarting providing the wind beneath their wings here.

Comment The AI bubble is IP light, always has been... (Score 1) 56

Well doesn't this just cut straight to the heart of the overheated bullshit flying around in SV? Nothing that they are doing is actually novel or unique, the ideas behind the models are (and always have been) public domain and there for all to see - the only differentiator that big American tech has is the off the charts capex spends fuelled by circular funding schemes. Where's the actual ROI and intellectual property? The main business model at the moment appears to be just ramp up silicon costs through enforced scarcity and then make sure that you own some fabrication plants. Convince all the sheeple that they need an AI assist with literally everything - even the most mundane and banal of tasks (like driving a car, responding to your younger siblings dead parrot or whatever) and just keep building out those castles of crap in the clouds.

Comment Re:As much as I despise social media (Score 1) 106

Parental responsibility is a huge part of the issues relating to social media, but there are key distinctions between it and the "TV pollutes your minds"/"chewing-gum for the eyeballs" arguments of yesteryear. The first obvious one is that TV shows weren't strictly engineered to become addictive through the weaponised use of the dopamine reward cycle. The second one would be that the parental generation(s) we're talking about here are by and large, trapped in the very same addiction - and so like many folks with dependency issues, rather than admitting to a problem, they attempt normalisation it in the most literal way they know how - by introducing it (i.e. push it upon) everyone around them including their kids. (Things are perceived to be less harmful if *everyone* is doing it right?). I don't think the same sort of thing was going on with MTV to be honest. Also, subjectively "harmful" content historically wasn't completing for the same base commodity (i.e. individual attention) across such a wide demographic - social media companies differ massively in that the intersection between the content turning their parents and kids into the same somnambulant constrained thinking machines is essentially the same. Parents weren't sitting down with their kids to watch B & B together as a group activity; you only need to sit in any modern restaurant to see that whole families are all locked into the same consumption cycle when it comes to crap like Insta, TikTok, Facebook and the like.
