It's inevitable that something like this will appear regularly, and one day it will be silently exploited.

That has already happened and MS did not notice at all. After 2 years, one of their customers noticed:

The utter catastrophe of the MS cloud "strategy" is slowly getting worse and worse. Most "decision makers" at MS customers are deep in denial because they do not have an exit strategy. But there is really no way this is going to end in any other way than very badly. MS still cannot get basic stuff right at this time. That simply means they cannot fix the crap they built anymore and the only way to curb the mounting (and already extreme) cost of those defects is to move away to better products.

I don't think he will. It's that it'll take a couple of decades to fix what has been done. And some things, like the destruction of the US dominance, will never be undone.

Form an outside perspective, I think the "American Century" coming to an end is a good thing. People became lazy. Everybody has to try harder now.

It's absolutely horrifying how so many of our country's companies and institutions are censoring what they're saying out of fear of our current administration.

A nice look at German history shows how that works. Companies have no backbone, no integrity and no honor. Individuals sometimes do, but most of them are not in positions to do anything or quickly get removed when they try to. See some late nigh shows in the US for recent examples.

Indeed. As research slowly comes in (for example https://metr.org/blog/2025-07-...) it becomes clear that LLM tech is not the game-changer it got advertised as. In fact, pretty much all that smart people have been saying from the start turns more and more out to be accurate. It is merely a moderate improvement on efficiency in some areas that do not require insight, skill or understanding and comes with massive problems even there, like hallucinations and making it harder to educated the next generation of people for jobs that require actual insight. Just as with previous AI (and other IT) hypes, some users are already rolling back to actually working approaches and the impact of this tech on actual work is minor.

Indeed. See also the failure of two of the remaining manufacturing giants (Boeing and Intel). You can now get basically anything better and cheaper from non-US sources, unless you are in the US where the tariffs distort the picture. And even there importing is often the only viable choice.

Donny is not interested in that. He wants local jobs for American yobs.

Hahahaha, no. All he wants is more money and projecting an image that his dumb, criminal self is actually a great leader. He could not care any less about "American jobs" as his actions demonstrate daily. All show, no substance and no idea as to actually get things done. And tons of people fall for it.
