yup

Fedizen , 23 days ago to Technology in Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI

Rather than driving the industry forward with leadership and vision Microsoft is being driven by AI and Advertising fads that are self destructing facebook and google.

Its clear its too late for Microsoft to do anything but lose trust at this point. If the outlook hacks and US government didnt cause them to rethink these terrible anti-privacy ideas then a bit of AI backlash won't either. As soon as people look away they'll start stuffing the OS with snoopware again.

the 2008 ranger is such a nice truck. Maverick is just a minivan with an open trunk. Might as well just get a real minivan.

I'm in the "hatchback car or tiny truck" market for my next car.

Fedizen , 24 days ago to Technology in Boeing sales tumble as the company gets no orders for the 737 Max for the second straight month

I think its more if you look at what they did and the problems they're having all came after a merger with McDonnel Douglas and seem to be a typical case of corporate "fire people for reporting bad numbers" aka "kill the messenger" along with lots of outsourcing. Which results in numbers go up but at the cost of QA/QC.

This is all standard reaganomics and like nearly every other company that went down this road while selling real physical products they're now reaping the fruits they've sown for over 20 years.

why would boeing need help damaging its reputation? It seems to be doing a great job of that on its own.

Fedizen , 24 days ago to Technology in New York governor to launch bill banning smartphones in schools

I think flip/dumb phones are still allowed with most smartphone bans, are you suggesting this one is different?

I think this is less about isolating kids than it is separating them from distracting and addictive apps.

Also it creates a class distinction in schools - some kids don't have them causing them to be socially isolated

Personally I think the schools should be handing out locked down wifi phones to students without smart phones. But I don't think any part of this is about isolating students.

smartphones are a distraction in schools. The teachers shouldn't have them either, tbh

Witch hunts were sanctioned by the state in many cases. Getting shamed for having shitty opinions is like the barest minimum accountability.

The hard fact is OpenAI is already exposing itself to lawsuits by training on copyrighted material.

So the proof here should be "what makes them trustworthy this time?"
