Because people like to create recurring events that move with their timezone, e.g. weekly stupid meeting @ 4 pm every Friday.

The solution is to define the recurring event as a generator in the local timezone in which it was created, and use it to create actual events in UTC. If the user changes their timezone they have to decide whether they want to generator to remain as it is or be translated into the new timezone.

From the summary it sounds like they did adjust the timezones but they didn't anticipate that anyone would actually change timezones. That doesn't particularly surprise me since Windows doesn't even have a setting to keep the system clock in UTC.

Yes, that's what happens when you try and dictate silly timezone things to people. Newfoundland is a small island that was an independent British dominion when timezones were formalized, and they didn't send anybody to the conference. They eventually realized they needed some standardization and picked something within a minute of St. John's solar time, which is in the extreme east. Most of Labrador, in the west, thought that was dumb and so, outside of a little chunk around the ferry landing, they don't use it.

Newfoundland itself is a holdout with their half hour timezone. They used to be fairly common but all but a few have switched forwards or backwards to align within a whole number of hours. It's been proposed in Newfoundland a few times too but the Newfies like being different. They can get away with it because the only connections to the area using NST/NDT are air, a three hundred kilometre highway with literally nothing on it, a 6-7 hour ferry and another 14-18 hour ferry that only runs in the summer.

I have one actually. Very nice.

Why stop there? You should live in a small village with no more people than you can know personally, interact with the outside world very rarely and no more than absolutely necessary and devote your life to worship.

What could possibly go wrong?

The Amish are a religious splinter group with specific beliefs, i.e. a cult.

The group sex alien suicide cults are a small minority.

Probably true, but disappointing. Using AI, relying on it, and being required to use it are different things and I fear we're moving toward the latter two. Having to get an religious exemption to be allowed to avoid being forced to use AI at work seems like a bad thing.

It's worth remembering that AIs are largely trained using data/information generated by people; it we become, to put it simply, idiots ... well, GIGO.

Or, at the very least, do some work yourself to see what is valid and worthwhile, don't just blindly push things off onto someone else.

"Person, woman, man, camera, TV"

I've said and explained it before, we're headed for "LI - Ludicrous Intelligence" and, perhaps, beyond. :-)

(Artificial, Super, Super Duper, Hyper, Ridiculous, Ludicrous ... Plaid)

I'm not sure using "super" will be more soothing in that regard. And this is a Trump thing. (a) He really likes (re)branding things - and coercing others to follow along - especially on a whim, and (b) it probably seems super given his mental decline. I'm betting everyone will be back to just using artificial in, at most, 2 years...

I think it's more the "artificial" vs "super" part that's worth discussion. In this context, artificial is a better fit overall. Trump is only pushing super because (a) he really likes branding thing himself and (b) at this point it seems super to Mr. "I keep Being Asked to Take Cognitive Tests and Think They're IQ Tests" -- boasting, "Person, Woman, Man, Camera", and “They have a picture and it says 'what's that?' and it's an elephant.”

I'm betting this will go away in, at most, 2 years and we/they will all be back to calling it "Artificial".

While Putin seems to have made up that specific term (in Russian) the Soviet Union was fond of liberations and friendly assistance.

The US has a long history of police actions, contingency operations, interventions, incursions, expeditions, foreign internal defence (probably my favourite), targeted strikes, extraordinary rendition, enhanced interrogation etc.

Ah, but imagine you are in a room that doesn't have any air!
