They are collecting IP and insider info.

The manipulation of "AI" for political, or industrial sabotage as well has historical facts and references is the whole point.
Its been seen already, this manipulation, and it will continue. Maybe as a result, libraries will become popular again as a source of information.

This might surprise you, but most people who handle the jobs arent good at technical troubleshooting, arent good at handling things beyond what they have been taught, and need support to escalate to higher level support people who have been around longer and have a knack for those things.

But call centers tend to not have that because it looks bad on their reports.

In essence it is the business deal that is the problem and how they get compensated.
I worked for a company helping people install DSL, it was outsourced. This was way back when PPP was a new protocol, and a winsock rip sometimes had to happen because the person on the phone had a corrupted winsock due to hack, other PPP installs, and other things. Essentially the software added code to the bottom of the WInsock stack and if it already had something there, it would mess up the winsock beyond salvage.

We came up with our own rip and replace of winsock (thats what we called it), because we had a tier 2 that took time to learn these things.

But that is not profitable. In fact the company I worked for (I achieved Tier 2 status pretty quickly), didnt like paying people to sit around waiting for Tier 2 calls. Here is the trade off, a happy customer.
But they werent being paid for happy customers they were being paid for per call, no matter how long. Tier 2 calls would get complex, but we got so good it would be done within an hour or less and they would be on their way.

Hell, an executive even got in trouble for dictating that it was one issue per call, resolve it and hang up. Because that is more money.... that didnt last long as the customer (DSL company) got wind and got really upset.
So right there, you see the mindset of the customer, the mindset of the call center, and the lack of stipulations in the contract to prevent abuse.

This was all in the USA by the way, and it was right before it got shipped overseas (a year later it was overseas).

My point is, they want butts in seats to pull in money, but the dont care if its resolved, they dont care if the customer is happy, they care that they call back.

So if you want to target anyone, its the companies, not the person on the phone trying to help you. regardless of by script or with the ability and drive to troubleshoot.

inflammation decreases the space available in a vein, exasperating partial blockages. This is also why anti-inflammation drugs like asprin help in more than just heart attacks, it helps with infections.

I think VMWare has a lot of IP though, which is likely more why they bought it.

VMWare has not had an improvement to its platform for years. The only thing was their Apps or docker instancing. Doesnt mean they dont have a lot of great tools, but they havent really done a lot.

Newer platforms provide more, and are cheaper.

Thats just it, isnt it? If there is no privacy, they have an out for why the data is out there.

Meta claims security, but doesnt care to apply it.

Bots all over, and no care for anything. Its almost as if they see their users as pawns.

Im sure you want to think all that true, but multiple studies have shown wine is wine is wine. This pretentious stuff is just to pull one over on people because someone in "invested" in a bottle of something.

I mean, they sell wine and hard liquor at dumb prices despite them only having a different label.

oh, its from 1973? Mkay... its been in the bottle since then, it doesnt ferment more.

Just because I listed classic forms of art doesnt mean that is all forms of art, nor the successful ones.

Demographic of creators out there is beyond what it was 10 years ago. Platforms have given people an abundance of ability.

I have a friend who started on YT, maybe 5 years of tough work and Patreon, but now are about to break free from the bonds.

That is one example of many, YT, Twitch, etc are entertainment platforms that many people use and a percentage are successful.
Not everyone is successful, but we already know that dont we? Sports, writing, IT, business, sales, etc... all have failures, but arent so public or are not statistically tracked so publicly.

But hey, keep on pushing that narrative.

So your source of knowledge is two people you know. Consider expanding your scope.

75% of all statistics are made up.

That is very wrong.

Interesting comment, Almost like you failed to realize all careers have failures and successes, where the failures tend to "struggle to put food on the table".

interesting comment, almost like you have never been to a concert, or play, or movie.

AC comment, because you know how ignorant you are being.
