"including how to leverage AI for software authorization"

So, they're not actually serious about software security. You'd never let an "AI" system anywhere near your evaluation chain. They're just looking for cash.

Can we get back to the judge's decision that Google Search is somehow a monopoly? He's clearly either corrupt or a complete idiot (porque no los dos?). There are many other search engines. I haven't used Google's in years. He's incompetent and ought to be removed from the bench.

...when Johnny's nature report about beavers takes a sudden turn...

No! You want a criminally insane lawyer!

See subject.

Microsoft's had a program that paid people to use Bing for many years. Just do 50 searches a day and you get some tokens good for Microsoft merchandise!

I don't know if that's still around. I dropped it years ago.

Sure, fine, whatever, I'm game for it. How much do I get paid for this managing job?

Gosh, I've never been a manager before.

I feel it would be more effective for them to employ the magic of crystals along with aromatherapy.

The fix is obviously in on that one. There are many other search engines.

However, the idea that the U.S. can't break up Google because we need to compete with China on magical AI fairy dust is completely bonkers.

Companies have been throwing massive amounts of cash into the pathetic illusion of AI, so maybe they'll be interested in funding something useful that pretends to be for AI. The concept is interesting. Whether it's practical is another matter.

I was not aware that this "AI" was previously running on rutabagas, but it is such an incredible triumph for Microsoft to be able to run software on computers, now. To be sure, the farmers will be devastated.

I know that this site is rapidly devolving into some sort of cheap Buzzfeed knock-off running on CP/M but, err... I take it that the current "editors" have no idea what a CPU is? Possibly they think it's some sort of boat, possibly running on tubes?

My first computer was a TRS-80, Model I, Level II, starting out with all of 16K RAM and a cassette player for storage. I would follow the latest Radio Shack catalogs with wide eyes.

They started losing my interest when their first floppy drives only had 35 tracks, instead of a normal 40, and somehow still cost much more. At that, I think my aftermarket floppy drive and operating system ran around $500 anyway. But, you know, fast random-access storage! Maybe 160k of it! And you didn't have to keep fiddling with the volume control to get your programs to load!

It was spectacular, at the time. The expansion unit allowed a full 48K of RAM and room to install a serial port card, so I could add a 300-bps modem.

You are alleged to be an editor, and you can't even manage the little squiggly red lines under a word that tells you it's probably not a word.

I can manage that even when I'm not legally allowed to WALK anywhere. Do you guys get paid, or do you have to pay to be "editors"?

You have a valid certificate that disappears in six days. What genuine site would have any need for this? It's for pulling off a quick scam, hello, goodbye. I promise that the Brooklyn Bridge is in your email.

Your comments are certainly interesting but, I'm not sure what country you live in. America doesn't have a "left wing". Trump's babble about "radical liberals" presumably refers to Bernie, who must terrify him in his nightmares, but is about as effectual as Barney the eggplant dinosaur.
