Microsoft made the product selection. Of course they are to blame.

Nothing about actually having a positive contribution in any way. Good old crappy Microsoft.

Same here. It will do a lot of damage and hurt a lot of people, but the longer it runs, the worse the inevitable collapse will be.

It would also be good for progress. Lets hope it happens soon.

Good question. Nobody on the customer side has any real business case that could ever justify that. On the other hand, we have too many ossified big tech companies (no, "AI" is not fixing that, it makes things worse), so Microsoft dying or Oracle collapsing would be entirely good things.

Hopefully their well-deserved end is not that far off. They are nothing but a force of the negative.

I can, you can, but the usual idiots cannot. In actual reality, the LLM approach is a dead end, because it cannot be improved beyond a pretty low level of quality. There may (or may not) be long-term applications for specialist LLMs, but even that looks less and less likely. Agents based on LLMs? Pure hallucinations that they will ever be secure or reliable.

The only thing that keeps the hype going now is that too many organizations have invested far too much in them and too many people are very easy to manipulate.

And don't be a victim. Unlike the person that moderated this down.

But most of the air fryers in the UK are the wrong shape for pre-prepared meals, and most of those meals are best prepared with a microwave.

It just seems like an air fryer is worse. Take potatoes or meat. You can pile them into an air fryer, or you can spread them in a fan oven and optionally have a rotating platter to make sure they cook evenly. I suppose it's true that the volume is lower so they heat up faster. More messy to clean though.

I completely agree, but would include things like the pledge of allegiance in schools.

I don't get air fryers. They are just fan ovens, but worse.

Indeed. Avoid Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and a number of others. Regard them as malicious and uncaring if you cannot avoid them and prepare accordingly.

Same for Microsoft or Google. If you need to depend on their accounts, chances are you will get shafted at some time. Hence do not let that need arise. Yes, that is difficult. But they can throw you out for basically any reason and you can do nothing.

In a similar fashion, lots of YouTube-dependent creators have gotten stabbed by Meta recently. The whole thing is broken and there needs to be legal recourse and penalties for platforms that get this large.

I don't think Trump even runs the social media anyway, it's some guys who pay him to use the name. He can't lose.

Doesn't work in the UK. People got refunds when they killed PS3 Linux, for example.
