the SLTs of all major tech companies and software companies are absolutely hyping AI. these people are have compensation packages with significant ties to stock prices and those go up with hype and inflated expectations.

This guy Microsofts.

as fun as it would be for redditors to now go and burn down any/all content that would feed this bot, you have to believe that this announcement is more of an after-the-fact notification vs a we-are-about-to-do-this piece of information.

either way. there has never been a better time to abandon reddit so ... see you all on Lemmy and here.

This. I invite everyone to go and look at the amount settings that must be turned OFF in Windows 10/11, Firefox, Chrome, whatever app from companies that claim to respect user privacy. For Windows it is literally dozens of toggles, and unsoliticed apps. Then there are the so called security features like malware scanning of URLs/file downloads, etc. Then the DNS replacements which, ya know, still see the URLs that you are asking for.

Every company that claims to respect your privacy is full of shit. There is too much money to made in not respecting it and this is the sole reason that they exist.

"Once the Guardia Civil obtained the iCloud email address, the documents show that it requested information from Apple, which in turn provided a full name, two home addresses and a linked Gmail account."

Basically everything but their favorite colors, TV shows and emojis.

If anyone is dumb enough to trust Microsoft after all the shit they've pulled over the last 30+ years, including the most recent collection of large-scale security fuckups, they deserve what they get.

Until we sort out the whole idea that it is OK for the US intelligence communitity to use Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Apple, N-other big tech companies to act as their data collection services. They will all continue to basically do whatever they want including jeopardizing our national security with their plainly stated profit motives.

It isn't that Microsoft does not care at all about security it is just that they see it as some business that they can/must make 40-50% margin on like the rest of their operations.[aka outsource it all to countries where folks have fake credentials]

Evolution seems to work fine for me.

Notice how little scrutiny Microsoft has been getting by Congress, DOJ, FTC, etc. despite these many huge security blunders and whatever is going on between them and OpenAI.

This might be because it is almost impossible to tell where Microsoft starts and the government ends these days. Also remember that Microsoft was basically the pilot program for Prism.

offshoring is a big part no doubt. another big part is that almost no one's comp structure includes things like bugfixes, quality or perf work. people only get credit for shipping new features, etc. this is why everything is basically just hollow chocolate rabbits.

Some things to think about.

- Tesla's charging network is opening up. I think this used to be the single biggest selling point.

- Tesla's repairability is not great, neither are the insurance rates.

- The 4680's have not exactly changed the world... might have made things cheaper for Tesla but that is about it.

- Some folks might think that Teslas aversion to buttons has reached peak dumb. Latest model 3 has even ditched the turn signals and drive-selector stalks...

- Requiring FSD demos prior to sales? GTFO.

- Musk is officially more of a liability than an asset.
