No, this can’t be. They took all of our personal information so they could use AI to tailor ads to exactly what we wanted at any given moment.

Not too unusual. There have been a lot of new vulnerabilities announced lately. A few months ago they announced one that exposed all (?) mainstream CPUs, even Apple’s new chips.
Some of the vulns are serious, but many require very specific circumstances to actually work.
A: “We really need this super-important and highly-technical job done.”
B: “We could just hire a bunch of highly-technical people to do it.”
A: “No, we would have to hire people and that would cost us millions.”
B: “We could spend billions on untested technology and hope for the best.”
A: “Excellent work B! Charge the government $100M for our excellent idea.”
Wall St destroys yet another company through sheer greed. Film at 11.
I will always say, “Fuck Carly Fiorina” for ruining the finest company in the engineering world.
Yup. A better simile is Boeing. Quality don’t matter if cutting it makes number go up. Oops.
Yes, Teslas can charge at 250 kW, but they do not sustain that charging rate for long. As the battery charges, its charging rate drops. If newer battery technologies can sustain the higher charge rates longer, they could theoretically store more charge in less time.
Ransomware you have to pay $10,000 every few years. Crowdstrike you have to pay $1,000 per month. Same number of outages for both. /s
You’re not wrong. I’d argue the iPhone was quite innovative. I laughed when I heard Apple was gonna take on Nokia. Nokia was a juggernaut at the time. Apple presented Nokia’s proverbial head two years later. Quite the turnover. Apple is still living off iPhone profits 15+ years later.
When one of your medium-sized customers felt the need to build their own processor design team, you’re in trouble. When their new design beats yours, you’re done.
The fastest way to save money is to stop spending money. Shut down the business and sell everything off brings in billions and costs nothing. Pure profit and I get huge bonuses! — Most financial/Wall St vultures
Decades ago, a collegue of mine (who once worked in hard drive design) said, “Oh, hard drives stopped reading 1’s and 0’s years ago. Now they compute the probability that the data just read was a 1 or a 0.”
“I’ve got to leave early.”
“Why? We’re having fun!”
“Sorry, I got to go home and charge my shoes.”
We surely live in the future! /s
we hope will will see some reviews by western media, with clear comparisons against AMD and Intel solutions.
So Tom’s Hardware is hoping that someone with motherboard expertise will step up and test these things proper so (presumably) Tom’s Hardware can report the results.

Yeah, for a short time there the word ‘java’ was very ‘in’. Marketing hipsters at the time wanted to use it in everything, just like the word ‘AI’ now.
There’s just currently no way for AI to understand the difference between dry humor and serious responses.
There’s no way for humans to do this either. We invented an entirely new series of markers (emoticons, /s, etc.) at a vain attempt at doing just this and still fail.
I’m not going to lie to you and tell you I know how all of this works, but from experience, the people running these scams are rarely the people who suffer.
Here’s one I’ve seen myself:
There’s a new hot startup. Wall Street rolls up to the C-suite of this company and makes an offer: Go public and we’ll give you thousands of “special” shares. (Some companies might even get multiple of these offers from different Wall St. investors.)
Once the company agrees to go public, Wall St. gives that company’s C-suite Special Shares. Wall St. also gives these shares to friends, family and power people they would like to reward and/or influence.
On the big day, the company goes public. (To the Moon, Baby!) Everyone with Special shares can sell anytime they like. Company employees have a 6-month “blackout window”. The general public is encourages to “invest now before the shares go up so they can sell after they go higher!”
After the stock climbs in value, the Special Stock holders dump their shares and rake in the cash. Everyone else is left holding the bag.
So who in this scenario are the losers? The people who bought the stock and watched it lose value? The people who sold their Special Stock after it went up and before it crashed? Who gets punished? Who goes to jail? Where does the money go?
You saw this whole scam condensed to it’s essentials during the Crypto Currency scams a few years back.
So many different variations on this scam. Keeps working too, so long as you don’t get sloppy and steal from rich people like Bernie Madoff did.
Because the investors are always using Other People’s Money. They “invest” OPM and if it succeeds they take a huge cut and proclaim themselves to be geniuses. If it fails, they shrug and make up some BS to console the loser.
One day, someone’s going to have to debug machine-generated Bash. <shivver>
Sure, Microsoft is happy to let their AIs scan everyone else’s code., but is anyone aware of any software houses letting AIs scan their in-house code?
Any lawyer worth their salt won’t let AIs anywhere near their company’s proprietary code intil they are positive that AI isn’t going to be blabbing the code out to every one of their competitors.
But of course, IANAL.
