NO company should be allowed to be "too big too fail". If you're too big to fail, then immediate antitrust breakup of your company should be mandatory. Are the people implementing the circular finance scheme creating the bubble expecting to get rich on the government bailout? Absolutely! They assume if the government spent tax dollars to cover the billionaire's losses before, they will do it again. I'm sticking to my original strategy: don't invest anything in crypto or AI.

I agree with both of ya, I would never intentionally go swimming with a phone regardless of the IP rating. But the 2 second water immersion that shorted out my Pixel 5 was an ACCIDENT, not a test of the IP rating, and it's kind of disappointing that it completely filled the case with water in a couple seconds, and that afterwards I could watch the water dripping back out. Like I said, there was no seal, just a gap in the case..

Have I mentioned how I can no longer use the Samsung Galaxy Watch I paid good money for, because Samsung refuses to ship the software that supports it, rendering it useless once the phone I orginally installed the software on stopped working?

he expected life of computer capacitors typically ranges from 5 to 15 years of real-world use, depending heavily on temperature, quality, and type. Of course, capacitor failure usually doesn't mean your computer fries and stops working, it usually just means the error rate goes up without filter caps.

What's the difference between a marketing manager and a prositute? There are some things a prostitute won't do for any amount of money! (My manager at Oracle pulled down his $40,000 quarterly bonus by billing a customer for work that wasn't done, then after the project was billed halfway down and late, brought me in to clean up the mess and take the blame for the failure or a project I had just been assigned to and finished within a week.)

That's actually one of my biggest issues with chatbots, they appear to be programmed to kiss ass (Trump must LOVE them!). I link that the biggest issue I have with Geminiis that when it can't find an answer to your question, it just makes one up instead of admitting it can't find an answer. So Gemini is really emulating human behavior, both sucking up and BSing instead of saying "I don't know". (Yeah, I know, AI answers aren't "correct", they are just the statistically most probably answer. Turns out if there is no answer, than any answer is equally probable, so I had it give 3 different answers to a question when I asked the same exact question 3 time. The question was "What is the BLE Company ID for Globe Tracker?" 3 different answers, The obvious fact check for it saying 03DF is to then ask "What company has BLE Company ID 03DF?" Hint: it wasn't Globe Tracker. So why isn't AI programmed to do a simple check on it's own hallucinations?
