Coding arguably requires talent - although Microsoft has been proving consistently for half a century that you can be a successful software company with piss-poor engineers.

But even if AI produced perfect code, then producing software essentially requires no talent. I'm not saying it's a bad thing in itself, but it moves the act of producing software squarely into the realm of everyday mediocre accessible to everyday talentless people.

And on top of that, the fallacy is that AI simply doesn't produce anywhere near anything that resembles perfect code. But of course, Microsoft is desperate to have you believe otherwise...

I'll just say this: I'm glad I'm at the end of my career as a software engineer, because I didn't spend a lifetime honing my skills to end up a mediocre types-question-guy.

The stress level measurement is what the smartwatch pretends to supply you - a feature that entices you to purchase the watch, if you're interested in knowing your stress level.

What's being monetized is the raw data - accelerometer measurements, O2, location... whatever the hell those things measure to do what they pretend to do - because a lot of really invasive and personal information can be inferred from those measurements.

collect data on you for monetization.

You've been modded funny but it's absolutely true.

Extortion.

And books.

Trump, his Heritage Foundation puppetmasters and his MAGA minions have been at it for years too. Just like ole Adolf.

Trump is only able to do all the fascist shit he's doing now because the extreme right has been stuffing the courts - and the Supreme Court - with fascist-adjacent judges for years. And - if this needed remininding... Jan 6 happened.

Donald and Adolf are quite literally following the same playbook. The only difference is, Donald is an idiot who's really doing the Federalist Society's bidding.

Germany disintegrated even faster under Hitler.

Trump's wages war on knowledge and science.

And you know what? Even if you don't care about climate data, those satellites have been put up there at great cost to the taxpayer. Whatever happened to going after waste and abuse? People who pay taxes should be hopping mad.

Anyway, at the end of the day, it's yet another distraction to make his idiotic MAGA supporters forget that he's a fucking pedo.

That's why I replace the trashcan icon with a US flag.

for non-bullshit-AI OSes like Linux.

you're crazy.

Remember this: all AI knows comes from stolen data. Why would you interactions with it be treated any differently?

his Synchron implant isn't owned by a Neo Nazi, being that Synchron is a competitor to Neuralink.

This alone is worth something.

Hitler's was Germania. Trump's is a nuclear moon base.

And of course, on top of that, the orange utan needs all the distractions he can throw at his idiot MAGA base to make them forget the Epstein file.

that it should not be used for important stuff.
