Given such news I wonder for how long they want to stick with that "communist" label on their one ruling "party". Stuff like "Venture Capital Funds" does not really vibe with such name.

Despite the surprisingly large valuation, that "Groq" company does not quality as relevant enough for triggering anti-trust activity, IMHO. And if Google had wanted their technology, they could just have treated the founders of Groq more favorably while they worked at Google.

... you already are infected with malware, even before visiting such fake-site. Just get a better operating system for free.

They probably mix well in pleasing gullible investors - until the bubble pop.
And when they talk of "security", they never actually mean effective technical security, they always mean "compliance", so more tick-lists, certifications and laughable security-theater that won't stop a single adversary.

Clever of those Meta engineers to convince the C-level to buy all those expensive GPUs "for AI"... while they are having the biggest LAN-party of all times in the now well-equipped data center ;-)

The slashdot article above writes about June 2027.

What did that famous commercial say: "In real life, you don't have another quarter."

But not every "geek" is an irresponsible driver. I for one really enjoyed Carmageddon or GTA, but am not tempted at all to speed in real life driving.

Was it not the current US government's signature habit to change tariffs randomly on a daily basis, rather than announcing changed 18 months ahead?

Sad to see this tipping disease spreads to another continent. I mean, when copying stupid things, they could at least modify the idea to make it more Australian, like increasing the prices by 20% but allowing the customers to deduct an up to -16% dissatisfaction rebate.

Just put a picture of some severed human body parts into your fridge when bored.

No, it won't. Those who own and operate the AI have no interest in teaching it how to save you a penny. And just like the "Honey" App, the AI owners/hosters can even make extra profit by selling "expensive purchase choices" as a service to shop owners.

I guess it is even easier than that - just look at the ratio of people who shop more than they can afford, are permanently in debt, and live paycheck to paycheck. They are the perfect audience for being screwed by yet another tool.

I think you got the demography of those VISA profits most from wrong. There is a reason why famous rich people often praised austerity. This "AI shopping for you" thing promoted by VISA is rather an attempt to make even more people expend more than they earn, in order to pay outrageous interest rates to VISA.

Indeed some dumbed-down "desktop GUI", forced upon everyone in the name of "challenging" a monopolist, would be a stupid move, just making the OS less attractive for those that are not technically challenged and able to make their own decisions on what to use.
Windows never needed to compete with anyone on PCs, and especially not by trying to be attractive for users, because the majority of users was always forced to use Windows by some employer. And those not particularly interested in technology for their personal purposes used whatever came shipped on their latest computer.

The idea that the looks of one specific desktop GUI is what determines "success" is stupid - just look at how often both Windows and MacOS changed their looks - back and forth - and people certainly did not change to a different operating system in masses because of that.

Linux should sell itself by its most obvious strengths: Being a tool for the owner of the computer, not making the user a tool for the OS vendor. No unwanted ads, no data harvesting, no unwelcome obsolescence of still good hardware, no walled-garden "app stores", that is what can really separate open source operating systems from the dystopian paid subscription, closed source, vendor-lock-in commercial operating systems of today.

... OpenAI, Meta, Google, Anthropic, Xai, ... who happen to have been active in anti-copyright extremism quite a lot in recent years, stuffing their "AI"-models full of material they never licensed?
