It may be a tedious job to spend days rotoscoping but I personally know people who get paid to do that, and as soon as AI can do it, they will have to go find other work (which they already do, on the side, because the writing is on the wall, but there's a ton of people worldwide who do this kind of work, and that's not the only process being delegated to AI).

So, I'm not pretending that certain kinds of jobs aren't going to be obsoleted. Lots of responsibilities went by the wayside as a lot of things were automated with technology and algorithms - I mean, this is not just an AI thing. But I also see it as many people not even executing certain creative visions that would be out of reach due to the mechanical (not creative) cost of doing things. That's where Jevons Paradox really shines and I do think that's where the explosion will happen. Of the (very few) people I know who do editing and have to rotoscope, rotoscoping is one of the things they really don't enjoy, but they do it anyway.

That's why we don't use machine to dig ditches, we use spoons, because this planet is a work program.

We won't even need to have meetings (or managers) in this happy AI future, because AI agents will be doing everything, so we can all sit at home watching TV because UBI will become mandatory (I hope you are right about puppies but somehow I think we will become the puppies in some sick and twisted Hunger Games episode).

Bankrupt? I didn't read about any financial penalties in that article. The board fired him back in 2020 when they found out, and then he blamed 2 IT people. Instead, he got 3 months suspended sentence (in a Finnish jail, which is not exactly like a US jail). The company still exists btw.

It got bankrupt in 2021 in an aftermath of the breach. I think they sold some of their operations forward before that.

The actual breach wasn’t that advanced hacking. They had copied their production data with all the patient information to test database which was publicly available and had default credentials.

You don't remember when people were generating private keys and tokens using github copilot in the early versions? I'm not sure if they ever completely fixed the issue, but it was a bit scary.

And yet in the US 40,000 people still die on average every year. Per-capita it's definitely improving, but it's still way worse than it could/should be.

Yes, and a photo you put on your physical desktop will fade over time. Computers aren't like that, or at least we benefit greatly from them not being like that. If you tell your firewall to block traffic to port 80, you expect all such traffic to be blocked, not just the traffic that arrives in the moments when it wasn't distracted.

That may be true to some extent but I am still often able to find some kind of answer, granted it's often just "NO, Apple doesn't do this".

Then we would have zero support, or they would shut down the forums entirely. Or are you implying that the companies would be forced to finally offer official support?

There is official support. Apple Support should be more deluged with callers, but they rely on these forum mod suckers to carry water for them and tell people it’s their fault to lessen that load.

Yeah but how much faster is hardware since then? M.2 SSDs, lots more GHz + cores, fast GPUs, etc. Everything is way faster and should more than make up for those security checks IMO.

That's because TPM 2.0 module allows M$ to uniquely identify you and sell your info to advertisers - it's not an actual technical limitation, it's just because M$ is greedy, and it's a shame they aren't punished by governments for creating all this unnecessary eWaste just to make even more cash.

I use WinAmp 2.0 sometimes which was released in 1996. I prefer to use v5 but I like to show friends that such old software still works fine (even Shoutcast streaming works fine).
