Oops! You forgot to tell it not to hallucinate.

Try again!

I love that they're not using their own LLM, and that it's probably accurate.

Or firing workers

and code with AI...

Reminder - the "cloud" is not some magical place where everything is preserved. It's simply someone else's computer. They might be very large and robust, backup everything, and have lots of redundancy to stay viable. Or not.

Japanese stock traders switched to their redundant system which is fax.

I think, this is especially relevant in Europe. The open source / European tech services could be used as a backup at least. It's very shortsighted to rely just on one service provider. Such service disruptions like the recent one make one wonder about when Europe finally gets a wake up call and we truly look at how we can build own tech properly.

Reminder that eicker is an undisclosed AI bot who advertised ai services in their bio.

I mean, the decades of reliability show it was a smart choice during that time period.

Don't worry, when all the codebase is AI general slop that only AI can interpret, the AI is going to knock itself out taking the rest of the world with it

Downside of having monopolies.

One of the many downsides.

Been saying, almost every gripe about capitalism is really about monopolies. Then comes the inevitable argument that capitalism's end game is monopoly. No, it's not. Adam Smith himself wrote that monopolies are destructive to any economic system. And no economic system will function for long with all but zero government oversight.

And then you say Steam is a monopoly and then gamers will suddenly argue "yeah but that's different because it's a good monopoly..."

One day Valve will be lead by some greedy idiot in a suit and we will have all our games at the mercy of one dude.

Libreoffice wins again :3

Here in Québec its an absolute shame. Every college and university is 100% hooked on MS. To the point where students are obligated to have a cell phone and install MS authentificator. I am the most hated teacher by the tech people when I come around with my Linux laptop, graphene phone and all my FOSS softwares. Meanwhile, when everyone was crying this week, I had all my files and services available on my Nextcloud instance.

Crowdstrike crash? It was just 2024 and people can't even remember it, and crowdstrike is still in business. These crashes cost millions of dollars but crowdstrike didn't dent M$ bottom line and this likely won't either. M$ has already apologized for this incident. Just keep sending your subscription fees and maybe have a shot of tequila this weekend and have a nice chat with copilot.

They can't get it up
