Have you never had a corporate job? A technology can be very much useless while incompetent ‘managers’ who believe it can do better than humans WILL buy the former to get rid of the latter, even though that’s a stupid thing to do, in order to meet their yearly targets and other similar idiotic measures of division/team ‘productivity’

Thx, corrected

It’s also not the first or only 21st century technology that is or was waaaaaaaaay overhyped.

First it was the Blockchain

Then it was the Cloud

Now it’s Artificial Stupidity.

I have a friend who was addicted to both cocaine and alcohol. While he, of course, is convinced that cocaine is one of the worst substances to have ever existed, he is even more wary of alcohol because of: (I’m obviously both paraphrasing AND excluding most countries with a Muslim majority here)

a) Social acceptance. No one is ever going to judge you for quietly sitting in the corner of a bar drinking your beer. Try snorting a line on the same setting and see what happens.

b) Availability. Even in sparsely populated areas, you are never too far away (say, a 10 minute walk) from a bottle of wine/spirit/beer.

c) Practicality (which is what answers your question). You don’t need a syringe, spoon, knife, bill, bong or lighter, not even another recipient, to start binging on booze. Once you buy/steal the stuff, you’re all set - and drinking something definitely IS more ‘natural’ (as in, it’s a reflex) than injecting or smoking something.

I hate the fact that they made ‘The Descent 2’. Totally (and unnecessarily) killed the ambiguous ending of the original.

I seriously doubt that it would count as ‘shitty’, but it wasn’t very well received and is not widely known either, for me rather a kind of comfort movie I’ll defend till the edges of the earth: the Cohen brothers’ ‘A Serious Man’

You can argue all you want about TPM and its ‘security’. I ALWAYS thought that forcing users to use TPM 2+ hardware is planned obsolescence and nothing/no one will convince me otherwise.

The only thing affected users can and should do is to leave that PoS of an ‘operating system’.

This is a very good, comprehensive and comprehensible answer. Thank you!

Amusing.

a) I don’t use shitGPT and never will, so I wouldn’t know how to phrase questions for it;

b) You are aware that this is ‘no stupid questions’, right ? People here expect to be asked stuff - or to learn from others’ answers for that matter, which I’m pretty sure is the case here;

c) Cold? Maybe that’s because this is a science question? I’m not asking a lady out;

d) Disrespectful? It takes a particular brand of pessimism to be offended in the least by a question that’s not even directed at you…

So if I understand you correctly, in the real world, they do add up?

‘The Lion doesn’t concern himself with Microsoft Teams.’ Full stop.

That’s…silly

Burnout.
