Are there any unions in play? Because outsourcing something like operations sounds like one way you might get rid of a union and replace it with underpaid contractors.

If they were smart, and realized the AI thing is utter crap, this would be a minimal-effort smokescreen in order to try to get a stock price bump because they are 'doing AI'. Given the timeline, it's likely that the AI bubble will pop first, and they can quietly drop the whole mess down the shitter while no one is paying much attention.

Sadly, it's probably not that, they probably are planning to do it, and it'll be crap.

You're telling me that the people who's motto is 'move fast and break things' and who let a genocide happen on their platform aren't particularly careful with other company's data? Shocked, shocked I am!

In other news, the sky is blue and water continues to be wet.

It should be taken out back and shot. Yes, blockbusters are at least pretty to look at, but frankly they are all so samey anymore that it's not worth going to see them. Hollywood has almost given up on new things, instead putting all the money and marketing behind retreads of things we've already seen. Spending hundreds of millions to make the retread, and expecting it to rake in billions instead of spending way less on original properties and expecting reasonable returns.

Seems like the FBI should use it as a 'next up' list for who to go after - if you're on the list, they should probably be arresting you.

Ugh, I HATE the headline - the crypto scam didn't wreck the bank, the FUCKING CEO did. The fact that he did it because he got conned by a crypto scam is only a little relevant - could just as easily have been him gambling at a race track.

Nintendo does perfectly serviceable graphics with great gameplay. Keeps costs under control and let's them concentrate on the important bit: gameplay.

Were enforced. I'm not hopeful that they'll enforce these either. Stupid - they had a market where they could make money being DIFFERENT than Amazon/Temu/whatever. Now they're just trying to be one more of the same.

What those 'Perpetual' licenses actually said? I have to wonder if someone read the paperwork and had their lawyers give Broadcom a call.

And they've served all of them now. I mean, how many orgs have THAT much data to begin with, and how many ever need this sort of thing a second time? I imagine it paid for itself for the few who needed it, but there's no point in maintaining and upgrading it once you've got those customers.

This. It'd be nice if the average seller would at least not put up drop-shipped merchandise with the same pictures as 100 other sellers wasn't 'hand made'.

Either the CEO is lying, or stupid if he believes going public won't affect focus.

Or will they put their thumb on the scale to sell you a new phone sooner? I like the idea of the phone giving me data on how the battery is actually doing, but now I'm going to not trust the manufactures to have not screwed with that readout.

Lots of companies expand by buying other companies in a given area of business. Sounds like these guys didn't understand how to do it properly is all.

is now a LEGEND.
