And let's not overlook that this is yet another attempt by the AI lobby to convince the public that AI "thinks," and even has the same concerns that human workers do. Which it doesn't. But the more the public believes that these algorithms are comparable to human intelligence, the better it is for all the people who keep pouring money into this bubble.

I remember when virtualization was the new hot thing roughly 20 years back and VM ware was aquired by some big corp, instantly turned to shit and the FOSS crowd started pushing out VM solutions to counter the problem.

They got bought by EMC, which at the time was a Dell company. Then they got acquired by Dell directly. Then they got spun off as their own company, which lasted a year or two before Broadcom snapped them up. Through the whole ordeal, they were sustained mainly by a combination of legit vendor lock-in and people just drinking the Kool-Aid.

Actually, mainframes give you a level of reliability and other things you basically get nowhere else. But the cost is high. Even big banks only use them for critical things.

Sure, but we're talking about organizations that have already successfully deployed on VMware. If they didn't need all this massive transactional integrity and twelve-nines uptime back then, they don't now.

It's not trivial to get credit cards in the UK. Say you were bankrupted even a long time ago. Or, I heard, say you never borrowed money or you never once paid late fees, surcharges, etc.

On the other hand, suppose you just stole somebody's wallet. Bet you could get that $1 charge through before they canceled it, and they wouldn't notice.

Or, if working as a health care professional has ever crossed your mind: try Chiropractic College! After an undergraduate degree (and even that isn't always necessary), you can become a Doctor in 3-4 years depending on which chiropractic college you attend.

And that should tell you all you need to know about how much your "doctor" degree will be worth.
