Businesses who bought the line are suffering from it. IBM should have been the first indicator, but we keep seeing companies who dont know what they are talking about or doing, attempting to adopt it to reduce costs through employee reduction.

But that isnt how it works, and the costs are larger than the replacement human. They keep trying to find a bullet to destroy the workforce, and those that remove people without understanding what they are doing are the ones people should note, as they are not serious about the job or their employees.

Ford was the latest to flubb this, but there have been and will be others. Stock holders should take note on what CEOs pull triggers without understanding or being lied to by their teams, because those are the bad CEOs.

IBM was the smartest, studying it, trying it out, but deciding to hire MORE people because they foresaw the Executives getting it wrong over and over again.

these employees will choose the tools in their approved tool box

Of course they will.

Clients need to do their research, choose the tool they want, and then choose the consultant to help them implement it.

That's the way it works. Microsoft isn't the right partner to help you implement a solution based on Google Gemini. Duh.

Once the target enters the correct password, PamStealer displays a message stating that the file is damaged and can't be installed. This is designed to be a decoy to prevent the target from suspecting anything is amiss.

Same sort of technique I used back in secondary school, lol ;) We had a programming class (in Basic on DOS), and it was painfully trivial, so I'd always complete the assignments in like 5 minutes and then spend the rest of class messing around. So one thing I wrote was a program that mimicked the DOS prompt, including common commands, and when someone ran the login command and typed in their username and password, it would say that the password was incorrect so they'd think they had typed it wrong (while it was actually saving their username and password, then logging out of my account), so that when they tried again, it worked. I would launch on a bunch of computers in the lab after class when I could get away with it..

Among the passwords collected were the teacher's administrator username and password. So when it came time to write my final project for the course, among the various demo-style scenes in it was a stereogram generator. The hidden image in the stereogram was her username and password. ;)

(Thankfully she had a good attitude about it... seemed like she wanted to get mad at me but also found it funny. In retrospect, that could have gone very badly had she gotten angry...)

Yeah, this is what I always worry about when I see studies like this. I know they always try to control for confounders, but it's really hard to do right. If you mess up, you get another "Regular wine drinking improves your health!" craze (wine consumption is correlated with wealth and better access to healthcare, and also, people with serious health problems often have to give up drinking)

Which is why OP used "cure cancer!" as a joke.

However, much progress has been made. I am alive right now because of a breakthrough cancer therapy that was FDA approved in 2011. (Well after Nixon!)

This fall I am going to get a therapy that mass-replicates your own immune cells in a lab for re-injection. It's so expensive (and has uncertain benefit) that it's not generally available in the UK or Canada yet. Automation will be a key to making it cost-effective.

It's such a complex area, I think information retrieval and computational science / simulation, or AI if you prefer, will help.

This, though for the most part, you don't need the whole rover — only its brain (and perhaps its communications electronics). The situations where you need the whole rover involve figuring out how to get it unstuck. And the more experience they have at running the things around on Mars, the less likely that becomes.
