They're going to need to bring in a few trillion dollars fast to meet wall street expectations. Expect prices to rise.

Oh man. the complete lack of definition or contrast from window to window is terrible. Which window are you clicking on? Nobody knows. It's especially painful when you have like three or four nested RDP sessions going on.

That would assume I like systemd in the first place.

Thank Lennart you degenerate apostates are finally starting to see the light of His glorious creation. Hallowed be thy systemd-journald.

As Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't always says... botany is just applied geology, so it probably isn't a big stretch to extend that to the underlying chemistry.

Fiber buried in the ground in 1996 is still useful. Servers from 1996, not so much outside of the retrocomputing community. The bulk of those trillions of dollars on AI is not going into useful long term infrastructure. It's going into

Did you see the news about the shennanigans of the SpaceXaiXsocialmediasite IPO and the consequences of that?

The other big worry is, what if it just doesn't do what is promised and these trillions of dollars that were spent assuming magic would happen were all for nothing? I mean, other than to make a handful of extremely wealthy individuals

I've been finding it rather odd lately that the companies that make phyiscal things that run the world bring in significantly less money than a handful of companies whose main function is stalking people across the internet for adverti

The AI says MBAs aren't necessary.

Exactly. In the four days that you worked you produced 40 days of output, so you should get 40x the pay. It would be unreasonable for the company to pay you 50x what you were getting before... they do have shareholders to think about after

No. They should give you 40x your current pay. The AI made you 10x more productive, and you worked four days, so you generated 40x the economic output. As such, you should get 40x in pay. At this point, you're doing the company a favor

There isn't a single thing about how the AI companies are operating that looks like a normal business. I know people who were in the room when Scott Sullivan, CFO of Worldcom, assured everyone that the future was bright at Worldcom day

Not to mention the API plans are also still in their "lose money, just get the suckers hooked like addicts" phase. Once the reality-based pricing comes into play, it's a coin flip of whether the bulk of the companies fail, or

AutoCAD is still the budget-friendly CAD program it has always been. You don't build big boats in AutoCAD.

You can't expect the average person on HN to admit to using a JVM-based language. That would mean they write boring business software rather than cool ad surveillance tech.

I don't know why you're so mad. Google knows best in all things.

Come to think about it, the one person I know that works at Meta is the absolute worst person I know.

And the thing is, you point out the easy out on this for similarly licensed code... a giant list of authors and contributors that may have code included in the generated output. It's a win/win for everyone. The original authors ge

And you often had to pay for the privilege... A dollar a month for them to not put your name and number in the phonebook.

So what you're saying is that everyone that works at Amazon and Facebook are now at grave risk because the bad guys now think they're informants?

So, a significant amount of self-dealing, and Elon Musk has an 85.1% voting share in the company. That sounds like a really great thing. There is no sarcasm in that previous statement. None at all.

I would like to announce I've retired. The tech industries are screwed and the future is paper.

The purpose of the law isn't revenge. Also, I see many other people in this thread confusing criminal law and civil law, which is a bit sad to see on a place like HN.
