oh oh. I am on android 7.

I am sorry you didn't get the joke.

Teaching unethical business practices, is what the business course was actually teaching her. She wants to learn "business"? That's actually what business is. Meta, Google, Apple, Microsoft... they are all very good at "business".

I just want to know, how far is this from getting me a fully immersive, life-like, virtual gaming experience?

Oh, oh. You kicked the branding guru right between his legs. You are not supposed to do that. Economy will collapse.

I too quit using Google early last year when they forced me to remove my ad blocker to watch videos on youtube. And I haven't returned back to google.
I took that experience one step further and applied it to all branded things I was using. Shoes, jeans, t-shirts, innerwear, deo, soap etc. And hey, I haven't returned back to using any of them and I didn't notice much difference. Except for, I am now saving a ton of money. The small brand sneakers I now wear are better than Adidas.

ICE vehicles get tax breaks for doing "road maintenance"—their smoke helpfully tars the roads. EVs? Just freeloaders rubbing the asphalt raw.

Then it's 100% code at MS is written using text editors (software), and then 70% is thrown away because it was prototype-PoC-ware (doesn't make it into the repositories). That's what he really meant.

He means an editor software, like a text editor? Or he's attributing any usage of auto-complete, while someone is writing code? Or is he counting template code, where the compiler emits code based on a template definition? Maybe he is summing it all up and making it sound like AI?

That's because Gen AI will be available at the end of this year. Sam Altman, that AI bro, told so. Pichai thinks 25% of all coding work is already being done by AI at google (yes, he too is hallucinating. He does not like workplace discrimination against bots). Nadella is waiting for his Agents, of the Agentic workflow fame, to get out of diapers.

Next at 9 PM. Mass layoffs hit AI researchers.

Your choices: Bicycle for short distances, horse-back (? donno), use public transport for long distances (mostly absent in US) or agree to be surveilled.
BTW, do motorbikes have all of this stuff too?

That is the biggest difference I see between European Companies and American Companies, having worked in both varieties. Europeans have a no-nonsense approach to meetings. They hate wasteful conversations and keep it brief. American, on the other hand, fill their calendars with useless meetings for all and sundry to attend. Stretch meetings for the whole hour or more, although the main topic of the meeting might have concluded in 10 min. Or more often, they just beat around the same bush in recurring meetings. Producing very little output.

And I wonder how so many technology companies are all in the US! Of course, my observations are based on working for medium sized companies (4K+) and not small or very large ones.

I guess the bots are attending college right now. Once they graduate from college, they will be ready to take our jobs from us. BTW, I hear the AI bots guzzle a lot of energy. I guess they need that $11M scholarship to pay for their electric bills. I think it's fair enough. No scam.
