  • I couldn’t imagine being a software engineer for Telsa, pouring your heart and soul into making a good product.

    And in your bosses’ drunken haze, gets to make an ass of himself on the world stage and get paid 1,000,000,000x your salary to do it.

    Lose advertising investors, lose quality and face on the products you have to build. Still gets to be CEO of three failing companies

    But your job is the one that gets canned to save the stock price.

    Edit: loose

    Fair point.

    Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.

    However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren’t as good as people think.








  • The findings, based on interviews with 4,702 company chiefs spread across 105 countries, point to the far-reaching impacts that AI models are expected to have on economies and societies, a topic that will feature prominently at the annual meetings.

    Once you start digging into the article it is quite hysterical what executives think a predictive chat model are going to replace. It reads more like a wish list then anything else.

    But they expect AI to replace transportation, Tesla and General Motors are not having any success with this… yet. There appears to be a bandwidth issue that isn’t going to be solved until the US upgrades to fiber.

    Boston dynamics are having a lot of success with their robots of late. Everyone else is stuck still getting robots to stack boxes. Which is also having it’s problems with bandwidth. And apparently logic issues.

    They also expect things like Energy and power/utilities to be replaced by AI. And that is just dumb. Automation has already swept through the power sector, and AI is not going to help with much else, unless it is going to start repairing power lines, transformers, or the regular substation.

    Above all, this is not taking into account the new jobs this also creates. People will need to repair and troubleshoot equipment at multiple layers.

    What is also absent from the article is the executive jobs AI will also replace. Once AI can view things at multiple levels. True, you don’t need the average worker anymore. But you don’t need someone that is just collecting a paycheck, do you? If AI will be programed to replace redundancies, then it won’t only find those at lower levels.


  • Looks like they attacked a vulnerability in the HR system to gain access to social security, addresses, and names of the people who worked in the system.

    In the long term, it means the people working there will have to freeze their social for a bit, I don’t think anyone is going to bother with the addresses except to sign up for stuff on amazon, pins and password resets, and a whole security analysis.

    That being said the effects of this won’t hit as hard as people think, however I do think it brings up a very important problem in the industry that is now being exploited.

    In that HR does not have the proper tools to confirm/deny someone’s identity.

    This is the third time this year that we have seen this kind of attack used, it is also the third time it has cost the company dearly.

    All the firewalls in the world will not help, if one human with window access is constantly able to break the system.

    HR might have to become a human solution again rather then a telephonic one. In order to fix this problem
