heh, funny.

I get the sentiment, but I actually use an iPhone SE (1st gen), so almost a decade old device.
I refuse to spend more than a couple hundred on a phone which I use mostly only for whatsapp, maps, and websites. No other apps.

My criticism is not that companies are allowed to make money, rather my beef with capitalism is when it goes unchecked and where it grows to such an extent that it can become more powerful than governments and can use its capital to bribe politicians - "lobbying" and revolving door. Essentially putting companies and their profit before people.

See also: thalidomide, oxycontin, bextra, etc. And the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, and the deaths and suffering of countless people in other regions.

Itâ(TM)s quite disappointing, even though privacy is maintained, which is great, itâ(TM)s just another example of a capitalist company using any means to make more money⦠like bigpharma, military industrial complex, etc.

> "including rape and death"

This is false and highly exaggerated.
I would argue Morocco is safer than many parts of the US and some parts of UK. Especially for foreigners, as much of the economy depends on tourism.

Even with limited or no surveillance, the police is incredibly skilled and carry out pure old-fashioned detective work, especially when a foreigner is involved.

People genuinely fear the police as they are merciless if they see any crime (unless given corruption and where a foreigner is not involved).

Although exaggerated and hyperbolic, the general premise is true.

I've lived in various nations, including for a while in Morocco (near the capital Rabat, and a smaller village north of Kenitra).

Many people see the west as a role model of equality, justice, employability, and money. It's only the very wealthy in Morocco that enjoy fairness as they can give corruption. For the rest, they want to escape due to: -

1. Fairness and justice
2. Employment
3. Healthcare and equality

Morocco has virtually no healthcare system (mostly a facade), and almost all medicines are imported at 2x/3x the cost.

Ring is far worse, yet receives little to no scrutiny.

Flock is bad, but not to the same degree as Ring, which is ubiquitous across the US, Canada, UK, etc.

Quite sad that in the UK, the company and HR have won with forced return-to-office mandates, and there's been very little or no push-back by staff.

It's almost impossible to come across any job which is fully remote in UK now, unless it's a job from USA or a European company.

After reading opening paragraph, that was my first question.

The other slashdot article has a bit more info, specifically that they tried various other languages including C#.

Seems to me that pretty much any language will be faster than JavaScript, even php!

After reading that link, that quote makes sense now :)

Thanks for the laugh! :D

Don't you have any shame and get tired of repeating the same tired talking points of the zionists?

Iran has supposedly been 2 weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon for the past 30 years?!

Meanwhile in the real world, Iran's ayatollah published a famous religious edict (fatwa) banning nuclear weapons development, and Iran has been a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty (NPT) along with the JCPOA and UN inspectors have always stated there was no evidence of a nuclear weapons program.

Even the CIA admitted their intelligence showed Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon, and Tulsi Gabbard stated as much just before the war.

All the while, the rogue terrorist zionist regime has never signed the NPT, nor joined the JCPOA, nor admitted to stockpiling nuclear bombs despite intelligence to the contrary⦠and having the "Samson option"!

It's rather amazing that many now believe Iran should have just gone ahead and developed a nuclear weapon, it might have kept the terrorist apartheid regime from launching massacres every few years with their neighbours - or, "mowing the lawn" as the zionists like to say.

All this because America on behest of their master in the terrorist apartheid regime started an illegal war against civilians.
Marco Rubio stated as much, that America was pulled into the war.

Not only has that made Iranian people side more with their government, especially after revelations that Trump was providing weapons to protestors early in the year, but the new government has become more hardline.

Imagine if Iran unjustly attacked America to "save Americans from their Epstein paedophiles and corrupt MAGA politicians", while bombing a children school in New York on the first day, and then going on to destroy other schools and hospitals in the following weeks - you wouldn't become more patriotic and rally around your government to go after the attackers?!

Iran is doing exactly as they stated they would, and gave us at least a year's notice of their intentions to close the strait, and bomb American interests in the Middle East - also exactly what the terrorist apartheid regime wanted: they want to destroy the Middle East, especially UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia as almost half of Saudi Arabia is part of the "Greater Israel project".

Thanks to the terrorist apartheid regime, we have been giving over 20 years of warnings to Iran to destroy their country - they had plenty of time to prepare.
Remember former NATO commander and US Army General Wesley Clark shortly after 9/11: plan to “take out” seven countries in five years, naming Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there isn't going to be any AI bubble-bursting event for a while to come.

If anything, more companies are jumping on and finding intriguing and amazing uses for AI such as in the medicine and surgical space, whether using reasoning models or image/video/audio generation.
I may not agree with AI, but sadly it's looking more and more like the future behind everything, and many of us will sadly, soon find ourselves as reviewers/testers in organisations powered by AI.

As huggingface shows, AI is growing leaps and bounds and new general intelligence and reasoning models keep being produced, along with the data centres to back them - e.g. Alibaba's Qwen, or moonshot's Kimi, or Xiaomi's MiMo, or DeepSeek, etc, all of which are right up there together with Google's Gemini 3 and OpenAI's GPT-5 in benchmarks like GPQA Diamond or Humanity's Last Exam.

These benchmarks show that the newer reasoning AI models do far better than those with PhDs or subject matter experts.

Then there's nVidia and Amazon who are pursuing and creating their own AI models, Nemotron and Nova.

I think most agree with what you're saying, especially the first part.

The problem is modern software development, especially with "Agile" - in the real-world - means sacrificing quality over speed of delivery. Sadly most organisations don't care about code quality (thus cheap offshore devs), or the hardware required to run it. In fact, hardware is rather cheap compared to a developer's time, even with such high memory costs.

As for the second part - the reason modern games require massive amounts of storage is due to higher fidelity and photo-realistic games. Thus, much larger textures (like 4k quality), much higher polygon count means complex maps and layers of textures, and then there's the localisation files, high-quality audio and actor voices and orchestral scores, cinematic videos, and countless other assets like huge maps and unique terrain unlike repeated tiles. Many assets are stored with light compression for on-the-fly decoding and loading to minimise stutters for fast-paced 60+ fps games.

I've argued for a while, AI may not take all jobs, but it certainly will cut down on number of hires.

So instead of several testers, and a team of back-end and front-end devs, depending on size of company, they can get away with half or quarter of the team.

Sadly as AI gets ever more advanced, I envision a time perhaps in a year or two where the senior dev is left mostly just reviewing pull requests generated by AI.

AI is already taking away design opportunities, and you only have to look at some of the professional and frankly, quite amazing presentations and infographics coming out, not to mention the countless thumbnails for YouTube/Rumble videos!

Yes, God is the Greatest.
And?

Isn't that what every religion that believes in a deity, also believe?

This is false.

Mozilla themselves state in the article:
"AI-assisted bug reports have a mixed track record, and skepticism is earned. Too many submissions have meant false positives and an extra burden for open source projects. What we received from the Frontier Red Team at Anthropic was different."

Regardless, you can see various high-severity security issues found by Claude Opus 4.6 patched in the latest version of Firefox (v148) here.
