But why is it Apple's job (or concern) to prevent other people from scams?
Because once their iPhones are infested with sideloaded malware, customers call Apple tech support and bring it to the "Genius Bar" at the Apple Store, and blame Apple for the problems.
Apple incurs costs and a hit to its image.
Apple can't just say, "You were stupid and now you've voided your warranty," because EU law doesn't let them say that.
Indeed. Intel's founders included many of the Traitorous Eight.
Everyone thinks "I'm going to start over and eliminate all the old mistakes".
But they're not "starting over". They're using RISC-V, which is a mature instruction set with existing toolchains.
prevent Intel from using their Monopoly to crush you.
What monopoly?
Lately, Intel has been a crushee, not a crusher.
At least make it sound as if you're not being paid to write this, for crying out loud.
Back to the article: basing any insight on the number of job adverts is bogus. Everybody knows that most adverts are for jobs that don't exist (ask any recruitment agent that you know socially).
And the skills available come from self-reporting. Guess what? In a boom, everybody says they have the skills. A friend of mine is selling herself as an AI expert when she graduated in fashion and has worked in retail for decades. Don't get me wrong. She's a smart cookie in her domain. But AI expert? WTF?
I don't think they were that good at reading.
Just wondering which revolution Greed went all non-greedy and created a paradise.
The revolutions that tried to eliminate greed created the worst dystopias.
Kurzweil is predicting a post-scarcity society, where greed is kinda pointless.
it won't be distopia but a paradise. I sure do effing hope he's right on that one.
I also lean toward a preference for paradise.
Yes, there was a ton of jobs in the 1930's for those farmers and farriers that became unemployed.
The mechanization of agriculture happened in the 1800s, not the 1930s.
I like how people downvote comments like this without any comments or replies.
That's how Slashdot works.
You can either reply to a comment, or you can downvote, but you can't do both.
Why such antipathy for employment?
Because they'll soon find new jobs that are more productive and meaningful.
Regions with high levels of employment churn tend to be more productive and prosperous.
It says right in the summary that the new AI page just reads like an encyclopedia of facts now because the AI has no idea what people actually enjoy.
That is a quote from the fired copywriter, who has an obvious bias.
What matters is what the readers think. TFA doesn't mention that.
If AI takes over all the text we are going to live on regurgitated stuff from now on.
If readers don't like it, they'll cancel their subscriptions and/or stop going to the website. The magazine will respond by rehiring human copywriters.
The market will self-correct.
On the other hand, if readers are okay with the LLM output, the money formerly spent on the copywriter can be invested elsewhere.
Disclaimer: I am a gardener, but I don't read about gardening.
Everyone starts thinking that. It is intuitively ugly, but it's practically great. Python demands the indentation you should be doing anyway.
If they wrote their code in a language that doesn't burn CPU like it's a free limitless resource their costs would have been far lower.
You don't have to know how the computer works, just how to work the computer.
