   I'm surprised at how little the perception of GitHub changed post-acquisition. Coupled with WSL, it almost balanced things for a lot of people and put Microsoft back in the "benefit of the doubt" column. This is undoing a l

   It isn't. Lots of unacceptable things going on these days and everyone seems to be accepting them just fine.

   My thinking is that if there would be more money in releasing Mythos and Cyber than there is in just scary unverifiable (or verified using very favorable context - Mythos) propaganda, they would. These aren't people that go for second

   Yes, I am assuming the AI/LLM of choice you've implemented in your software engineering org is Claude because as far as I can tell there aren't really alternatives that come close to its quality in software.

    I don't know why anyone is still using this - much less defending them.. In the last MONTH, I've asked how you can defend implementing (or even choose implementing) AI when: the AI you have implemented throughout your company chan

    If you've worked with Azure you don't need to be explained what the problem is. I'll believe that workloads are different now than they were some years ago but... they literally are the cause for it so no sympathy from me the

    This is called brand loyalty, and it's one of the first thing they'll abuse.

    If it doesn't work, try and monetize the failure. therefore AI works 50% of the time, most of the time.

    Get used to it, it's gonna keep happening since we're dumb enough to create a technology that mirrors reality with no safeguards whatsoever.

    It enables people to solve , not explore. It's a solution engine not a curiosity engine. Getting effortless answers at every turn is the opposite of curiosity.

    AI killed curiosity. At least Google made you search and look at alternatives, AI just gives you solutions, whether right or wrong. In a few years, the cognitive decline will be obvious. The only people who remain curious are the people who

    I'd argue that as soon as Camacho became aware of Not Sure's IQ test, he reached out. He didn't call on him before because he didn't know he existed (and/or he wasn't around), so he couldn't have helped pr
