You are not looking for an answer. You just look for leverage to push the hallucination you have already decided on being the "truth".

Nice denial you have there. The whole thing is a little more complex than this one number and far worse.

Indeed. The problem is not that everything economic he orange criminal does is stupid. That would be survivable.

The massive, massive problem is that he is very unstable, has no strategy and changes things all the time with obviously no planning and no thinking ahead and no lead time. He just wants to keep his admirers enthralled so it is some new bad and disruptive idea every week, sometimes every day. Hence economic planning becomes completely impossible. There is no more reliable way to long-term kill a modern, optimized western economy than sabotaging all planning.

Enjoy the probably deepest recession ever that this will cause. For everybody that did vote for the other side, my condolences, what you can expect the next decade or two (or maybe longer) deeply sucks. For everybody that voted for this abject incompetence and everybody that did not vote when they could have: You did this to yourself and I have zero compassion for your suffering.

Indeed. But it is not AI or the same problems would happen in Europe. They do not. Yes, there is some stupid firings here as well, but companies still understand that young people are their future and that not hiring them is suicide.

Well, I guess the US has to go through a full Republican-caused collapse before the dumb masses get that the "leaders" there are not their friends. But beware, fascism can last a long time before it inevitably collapses.

Always the same fake excuse. THIS is what is causing the mess. People have complained in the same insightless fashion about the younger generations for thousands of years. All this serves is to elevate the complainers and make them feel good about themselves without any rational basis or actual accomplishment on their side.

Here is the actual reality: Hire young people and let them find out how things work and get better at things. If you do not, I really hope your organization just dies because it is nothing but a parasite.

These two sounds quite similar to each other. And no, the world is not moving that fast. But some already far too rich megacorps profit immensely from creating that impression.

GDPR says something like this MUST be opt-in, no exceptions.

Or poison it. Need to have a look at current poisoning techniques.

I would argue that it may be impossible to produce many more of those, as it requires a specific mind-set, specific skills and specific motivations. Obviously, treating the existing ones badly does make the problem worse.

Exactly. Homework is simple because you need to be able to learn from it. Fail on the homework (or use an LLM) and you will not get anywhere.

Indeed. Almost like people do not even know anymore that you do not have to be part of every hype.

At the same time, Azure probably got completely compromised. Again. And they do not even know who got in and did what, as they have no logs. Maybe invest some real money into IT security? But no, empty promised of "Security is our highest priority" is the extend of what they do about that. But Billions go into AI. As extending the fragile house of cards even more was a sane idea.

Why the timid language? Call it utterly dumb, greedy and immoral, because that is what this is. Just some assholes trying to get rich quick and damm the rest of humanity.

Indeed. Which is why it is so excessively stupid not to support them a lot more, even if you completely ignore all other angles.

What makes you think they can be fixed?

Not a bad characterization either.

Indeed. But that requires looking more than 3 months ahead.
