the company reversed its decision after they filed a GDPR data request seeking evidence. Others were less fortunate,

  Here in 'Murica plutocrats get to grab us by the ePussy unless we bribe them with a gold RV.

...because IF it's a bubble, the bursting is going to be worse than the mortgage bubble and dot-com bubble combined if the oil embargo is still on.

Invest in doomsday shelters.

I see no quote there that implies 100%. Tiqui, you read poorly.

DilbertBossGPT was set to 11 for that one

Correction: "It's even possible the messes from coerced AI will create lots of clean-up jobs later."

Better wording: "Pressure to use AI may result in more jobs down the road to clean up AI's mistakes."

Even if only a third of this crap works

It's even possible the messes from coerced AI makes will create lots of clean-up jobs later. Managers pressure employees to use AI, and most will satisfy their token quota to keep their job, but not necessarily with sound engineering and quality control in mind.

It's roughly comparable to using more RAD tools to make non-trivial apps (pre-AI). It can be done "good enough", but is usually a longer-term maintenance headache: penny-wise-pound-foolish. Similar happened with the outsourcing craze roughly 15 years ago. Many regretted it.

"If you want it badly, that's exactly how you'll get it."

Training AI to spot those eyes should be child's play. (Unless it flags too many owls to be useful.)

Oh! It's for your safety! If you have nothing to hide, what's the problem. YEAH RIGHT

As in, "We have to protect you from changing your gender or having an abortion, because Fox Jesus doesn't like that, he told us while we were taking a constipated shit on a Holy Golden Toilet."

I trust those guys as far as I can throw Donald, and I have a bad back.

It is lazy lawfare.

Patents on software are a net drain of resources on our economy. Most software "inventions" are not in giant Edison-like labs, but situational happenstance. As an incentive system, it sucks. And the patent office can't tell the rare gems from trash patents such that the net result is waste on trash patents.

Nukem!

My father did prior art of that in the college ARPANET lab in the late 70's.

Placoderms invented the mouth 440 million years ago. That's very prior art.

Now they can rig ElonGPT to ignore their own evil trades. MAGA!

...experience and incremental innovation rather than strive for cutting-edge moon-shots. Long-term investments keep biting companies in the tush such that they have trimmed that. Current ROI formulas used in practice expect a return on investment by about 5 years*.

Also, they often move cutting edge research to the 3rd world because Masters and PhD's are much cheaper to rent there. Brain-intensive work is being outsourced.

* Japanese and EU companies tend to be more patient, for good or bad.
