I'd like to see that fail to get recertified for any reason.

I agree with you. If Steve Jobs and Tim Cook knew what to do with Apple TV they wouldn't have called it a hobby project for nearly a decade. Maybe they were still gun shy after the major failure of the Pippen.

They were also late to search, they were late to mobile, they were late to streaming (YouTube), they were late to gaming, and have 'gone all in' on each of these including security. M$ is all in on whatever will shift their stock pricing in words only.

The process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.

You are not alone.

Exactly my first thought too. This was thinly veiled ageism.

AI cannot yet replace the interns I've had. Maybe one day they will be able to but not until the reach AGI... which they won't for a very long time. Maybe you can string a hundred agents and small models together to perform and individual task, but that won't be cheap, quick or easy and it will still need a review from an operator. Sam Altman can't say anything other than these models are world changing. He has billions he's borrowed and he job is to spin the lies about what this tech can do. If he said the truth: Hey we are decades away from a true AGI that we sold you all on, but we have some stuff that is sort of valuable in the interim will cause the bubble the burst.

TL/DR Spin is spin and that is what AI is selling currently.

This is just an excuse to fire employees who might otherwise be functioning normally. How can they know these people can't be trained to operate in the world of AI?

Can you provide any actual evidence of your claim: 17 million people were prevented from voting in 2024? I suppose being an anonymous coward was a choice for such an blatantly false claim. Maybe a few voters could not be bothered to get an ID required to vote. However, if you are postulating that this is the case why is it that only Democrats that were affected? As for felons voting that is a state level choice.

As for this claim: Based on current research about 17 million Democrats didn't get a chance to make a choice thanks to voter suppression. Claiming you have evidence and not sharing the evidence makes this sound as truthful as the Steele dossier.

Not sure what you are replying to here.

Do you know how fast the land is sinking and or why it is sinking?

Good Guy? Most of the rest of the cast despise him. I can't think of many who have good things to say about his narcissism.

Turk182 has a name. We don't know it but he does.

The issue with your logic is that 5 percent of the customers get an awful customer experience. Sure Taco Bell saves some money on staffing but 5% of frustrated customers might not come back.
