Meta-analysis of "more than 350 studies" can lead to misleading results. Or, with a bit of tweaking, just about any results you wish to find.

I'm surprised that Apple would climb into bed with the predatory pack of sleaze balls that is Klarna. I cannot see this accomplishing anything beyond reputational damage.

Just what the public is yammering for, consolidation of one streaming silo into another, all for a price that's guaranteed to increase year after year while the programming you came for disappears show by show. Ads on their way, too, unless you upgrade to the super premium deluxe package.

Adobe, Cadence, CapitalOne, Cisco, Cloudera, Cloudflare, Cognition, Crowdstrike, databricks, Dell Technologies, DoorDash, Elastic, HPE, HuggingFace, IBM, Longchain, The Linux Foundation, Microsoft, Naver, NetApp, Nous, Nvidia, OpenClaw, Palantir, paloalto, RedHat, Reflection, salesforce, SAP, servicenow, siemens, SK telecom, snowflake, SpaceX, synopsys, thinking machines, and TrendAI.

I not so sure about that. There's not a lot of value in a depreciating asset. At least the dark fiber left over from the dot com boom had a life that could be measured in decades. Server farms are only good for 3 to 5 years, and even then become unreasonably expensive to operate vs. new equipment that's more economical to operate.

Generally speaking, Apple doesn't follow trends, it sets them. Not following the AI "trend" is in their DNA, and very much to their benefit.

From the start, the current AI iteration led by the likes of OpenAI has been a dumpster fire for investor money. No profit in sight, and a continuous burn rate that dwarfs every other financial bubble in history. A few firms in the hardware business have cashed in on the shovel trade, while outright fraudsters like the DRAM cartel have raked in a windfall, but neither is sustainable in the long term. Apple, unlike just about every other tech firm out there, has contented themselves with sitting out the AI bubble, and it very much looks like they're going to benefit. At the end of the day Apple will have pile of cash on hand to cherry pick the remains, while the likes of Microsoft and Meta will be left holding so much debt it could well sink them. Oracle will be toast.

Done and done. Thank you.

None of these "improvements" interest me in the least. All I want from Firefox is to support uBlock Origin, render web pages, and otherwise stay the fuck out of my way.

I'm sticking with punched cards and paper tape.

Didn't we all think that eliminating human workers, in this case taxi drivers, would be nothing but unicorns and rainbows for everyone. Maybe we could use AI to screen passengers for risk, and then only serve those most likely to not cause our robots trouble?

LLMs are trained on web scrapings. How many times over the years have I seen someone jokingly suggest using rm -rf * as an answer to a technical question? Lots. Trouble is that LLMs can't tell a joke from a solution, so if the joke made it into the LLM's training set then whoopsie! Honest mistake.

Regretfully, we did bankrupted the company. On the bright side, we got the back-end for the login screen working.

Thanks for the Elanor Rigby reference. If I could, I'd vote you up.
