when Broadcom took over VMware in November 2023, it would not honor the deal and instead tried to get Tesco to pay “excessive and inflated prices for virtualization software for which Tesco has already paid”
If you use proprietary software you don’t own it. no matter how much you legally licensed it. So this is what you always risk.
But fuck Broadcom for being worse than average bordering on illegal.
Not true, lot’s of people can easily afford these.
And a shitload of people can if they really want them.
The rest can pay over multiple years, in easy to afford monthly payments. /s
Meaning the people that can’t really afford them, can buy them anyway and pay twice the price with interest.
You clearly don’t understand. Google glasses didn’t have Augmented reality.
With these AR glasses you can have fluffy fur balls in different colors that jump around you everywhere you go.
If that isn’t worth $2200 to look like an idiot, IDK what is?
The perfect glasses for when you are driving your Cybertruck.
Considering how cool 😎 they look, $2200 is a steal!
Now you are not wearing the glasses, the glasses are wearing you. 🤣🤣🤣
How uncivilized, how dare they make dangerous missiles! 😡
sarcasm aside it’s kind of a weird thing to describe something constructed specifically to cause harm as “dangerous”, and completely takes attention away from it being powered by a dirty nuclear powered engine. Which is bordering on a war crime to use.
First create, then find. 😋
it’s going to make it possible for people to identify more problems,
He may be right.
For every job taken away by AI, 2 jobs are created to fix the problems caused by AI.
If there was no AI, we wouldn’t be able to identify new problems that were caused by AI!
Yes of course you are right, my bad.
The 1 trillion is an extrapolation.
AFAIK it’s less than 10%. But it’s a start. 🤣🤣🤣
It’s not only a joke, it’s an analogy to show how stupid the claims of politicians are, that they want to have a backdoor for law enforcement.
Of course the analogy isn’t perfect for the reasons you describe, and those reasons makes it actually worse.
Is he going senile since he wants to play in the streets again?
We have an easy peasy solution to that.
We will just make it illegal for burglars to look under the mat.
And if they do look under the mat, we will also make it illegal fro them to take the key.
Finally we will also make it illegal for burglars to use the key.
See there an absolutely bullet proof solution, so why does the tech industry continue to claim this is a bad idea?
As a politician I simply can’t understand why they are so contrary to this idea that will increase safety for everybody!!
/s (just in case)
Exactly the same as when Microsoft ditched Outlook express.
you have to have some awareness of what AI even is or you are at risk of being harmed.
Yes that’s how it is, but that should not be the case, AI should legally be considered like asking expert advice, like asking a lawyer or a doctor, those are not considered risks, because they have legal responsibility for their advice. The same must be the case for AI, AI must have similar legal responsibility covered by the company offering the AI service.
If AI responses can’t be trusted and are false information, it’s not a service but a disservice. It can never be the case that normal users should have particular skills to use an AI service. That’s legally a slippery slope we should absolutely refuse to allow.
I never read any “fake” Asimov stories not actually being written by Asimov himself.
I have however read everything Asimov wrote, I think he was an amazing author, and I love how well thought out his stories are.
Is there any particular reason to read these Roger MacBride Allen stories?
I must admit my interest in reading has diminished, because I find mostly everything I read has become banal and without any new thoughts.
Thanks for the good constructive response. 👍
a company that provides unreviewed AI output must ensure users are aware that output can be harmful or incorrect.
I agree, and then we should require such warnings for every AI response, kind of like we have on cigarettes.
Meaning the responsibility to warn about harmful effects is up to the company offering the service, not for the user to assume.
I think responsibility comes once you present AI output to something who doesn’t consent or understand AI.
Which means 99.9% of the users currently using AI, or unknowingly exposed to it through services that use AI without it being clear.
I wonder if Elon Musk is laughing his ass off about BYD making robots, like he did about their EV cars?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9ftbRWqkj0
In China BYD is now selling 5 times more EV cars than Tesla!!
https://autovista24.autovistagroup.com/news/what-was-the-best-selling-ev-brand-in-china-in-2025/
Now Musk claims his stupid AI and Robots that aren’t even competitive today, will be worth billions or rather trillions in the future.
My guess is the competition will walk all over him in every field, because Tesla is lagging behind now even on EV where they had a solid head start. Elon Musk does not have a head start on robotics and AI, and I doubt Neither SpaceX (XAI) or Shitter (Grok) or Tesla (Optimus) will ever make a profit on any of their AI products.
Maybe BYD won’t either, but I give them a way better chance than anything Musk related.
Exactly.
