for screwing your OS so badly and making me move to Linux, I'm far happier and I miss nothing, thanks to all the awesome software that is either native (Kate) or cross-platform (JetBrains) or is used as a bridge to windows software (Wine et al). The only thing you're extending is your pointless hopes for recovery from this unparalled idiotic move to force people to 11.
No software of mine gets faster with updates (in the game development space - IDEs, game engines, etc). So, "hold on" translates to "see performance gets worse every day". I don't think the old console paradigm applies anymore, as the hardware is known these days
*facts, not factors, dammit fingers!
And if I may: 5. Providing sources should not go against the text limit, so people have no excuse for not backing up things they say as factors
It's technological progress alright. But not a societal one yet - it actually looks like we're heading off a cliff in that regard, and only a few have parachutes.
"NASA Picks Eric Schmidt For Mars Mission". The unwashed masses would care about this more, compared to which billionaire gets money before delivering anything.
the EU should insist on a minimum "stay out" time if not a "Once you leave, you NEVER get back in" approach
No, because that way you give way too much power to a bunch of manipulating and manipulated idiots making a decision at a particular point in time.
So, I can go out and defame and lie and make death threats, and if I have my magical tiny disclaimer sticker on my t-shirt that says "maybe you shouldn't trust me" I'm in the clear? "Courts hate this one trick" -- well, maybe not anymore?
"Purchase the service as needed" - do you expect needs to go up or down with time? Also, do you expect AI costs to go up or down with time? And it's not exactly AWS compute that they're booking, in terms of elastic scaling. And I'm sure you're well aware that when institutions or organisations build/plan infrastructure around MS, it's really, really hard and costly to get off it. Or you think they can just replace the agents with something else that's magically cheaper?
And you think AI agents are the budget-conscious answer? I'd love to see the budget allocated to (or, required by) MS AI, and more importantly, how it evolves in the following year, with the IPO races doing the rounds now. It would be a shame if AI becomes more expensive and then it's too late to get rid of it due to sunken costs, right?
There are precise automation systems that can be developed to do the admin work. Not non-deterministic agents. If the underlying systems are an archaic clusterfuck already (and afaik it is), unleashing the unreliable agents on it is going to be
That's where the taxpayer money will go? To even less interaction with humans, and even more money to Microsoft and its unreliable shitty software?
Obviously the quality goes up to 11x, so enjoy the price increase
I like how his proposed solution for CEOs being distant from the last mile of work and thinking AI is a magic wand is to use AI even more.
Yeah exactly. It reminds me of "If force doesn’t solve your problem, you’re simply not applying enough force", which sounds as intelligent and thoughtful as our cavemen ancestors of yore.
... "and break things" will follow. What's gonna break first though? The companies? The CEOs' illusions? The workers? The economy? Our chances for decent PC parts prices? Grumble grumble.
While money doesn't buy love, it puts you in a great bargaining position.
