But we ship out our electronics to be landfilled in other countries.

"When we need medical care, we expect decisions about our treatment to be made by our doctors, not a tech company's algorithm,"

Yeah, that's the expectation of people who are new. They haven't seen an insurance company or Medicaid (or Medicare) deny treatment, or seen an employee at the SSA with no medical training deny an application for disability.

Short term, might be possible.

Medium term, not possible yet because the machines will break down and they aren't designed to be maintained by other machines.

Long term, possible but complex without at least having humans do inspections.

If they know about it and don't do anything to stop it, then they share liability. They can both be sued.

CBS reports that:

an L3Harris contractor was working in a remote FAA location and switching old copper wire to fiber while replacing a router. The router that was being switched then started flooding other routers, overloading the system. There were 1,000 attempts to log on every four to five seconds, he said.

The network DDoS'ed itself.

If the system is designed so that a couple of routers in one spot can make it necessary to ground everything, the design is bad. Saying they need $50B stat is wild when it clearly wasn't done right the first time with however much was spent so far.

Harming Microsoft both causes harm now and reduces later harm done by Microsoft. What's the net?

It's only a matter of time before the US Government goes private and merges with Amazon, they'll be getting your call recordings to feed to Amazon Transcribe in short order anyway. Luckily it's actually shit so it will get all of the numbers wrong and decide you said you would do things you said you wouldn't and vice versa.

Child rape enthusiasts came to try to hide facts.

Slashdot has become a haven for child rape lovers and Nazis, but I repeat myself.

hahahahahhahahahahahah no.

It absolutely is not making it yourself. If it were, you'd be able to get a copyright on your slop.

I enjoy being able to get stuff made by AI, but I'm not doing it. I'm guiding the process, but it is fundamentally not my work.

Take my dick out of your mouth before you speak again. You're mumbling.

That is exactly the lie I was speaking of which you are repeating. Thanks for finding that, liar!

If it's a toss-up between a de-facto Chinese takeover or a de-facto Israeli takeover, then the question is not what the resignation is trying to distract from, the question is why a vital strategic manufacturer is being taken over by a foreign power at all.

(Obviously, there's good reasons for a foreign power to want to have absolute leverage over how US businesses work. Whether those foreign powers are "hostile" or "benign" is irrelevant there and so of absolutely no consequence to the discussion. What matters is that the US should not place critical industries, on which essentially all other parts of their economy have become utterly dependent, in the hands of anyone not subject to US scrutiny or US law. As it stands, I dislike how corporations work, boards have accountability to nobody outside themselves and majority shareholders - which are also usually themselves. That's not an effective system.)

I'd certainly investigate the entire corporation. If the guy is abusing his position of authority (which means that any "consent" given is a fiction) and the employees actively support this, then there's a good chance that the behaviour is rampant in the company.

There is, however, a flip-side. He's undoubtedly led the company to produce some superb products and has pushed them in a well-identified direction. Far more so than virtually any other US corporation. There's very obviously something about his personality and mindset that is actually wanted to have a successful business, and this something is lacking within much of the western business community.

Basically, much of the western world is stuck in Harvard MBA Land, and companies operating under such principles invariably collapse from complete incompetence. They're popular because those with MBAs are usually brash, arrogant, controlling, dominant, and abusive - typical sociopathic traits - and sociopaths in the boardroom tend to be very good at producing stable management structures and very high stock returns. Just not successful busineses. But who cares, if you get rich?

This does not mean we need more sex offenders or Chinese spies running US megacorps. It means we need to find out exactly what in his attitude allowed him to identify successful patterns, we have no reason to want or desire any other aspects of the guy.

I ain't seen him sieg heil yet
