You know, Im not certain, but I think the job of being a cunty CFO could be done by AI... Are you listening Microshaft?

So dramatic, LOL

I remember it when old sysadmins would remember OS/2, Fidonet and be respectful to FreeBSD (despite not having touched it for many years). And I'm kind young.

There are now "old" sysadmins loyal to Windows? Something is wrong with this decade.

It's supposed to be growth related to the things which didn't progress, so to say. So it's not literally supposed to be growth of processes, just that stagnation makes things diminish in value, and compared to them things more alive "grow". Something like that.

Kinda like inflation. And that's fine, that can describe a pretty sustainable society, it's not about consuming more and more, it's like rotation.

Except with today's oligopolies there's a different idea, that they really have to grow as in capturing more and more of humanity's resources. The AI bubble (or not) is their most recent approach to that.

That's because expectations were shaped by the 90s when many things exploded (unfortunately much of that were countries, also landmines and other expendable means of destruction).

In the 00s it was possible to create illusion of that explosion still going on brighter and brighter, despite just continuing what started in the 90s, and then to create a few large-scale scams (or madness pandemics, or tech fashions, whatever ; point is they weren't the same as years 1993-1999) with iPhones, new Apple in general, Google, Facebook, Twitter.

I'm not saying it was fake or worthless, it was a revolution too, but not what companies try to show since the dotcom bubble.

So - they are still trying to show that, with kinda rough, generic, and insincere effort, a bit like sex workers in their makeup.

And they can't show that without such expansion in width, not in height.

Ah so it's the classic "but my hands are forced to do the machine's bidding" then goes on to do the thing they really wanted to do while their hollow appeal to authority is still echoing.

I believe it's one of the things corpos love about AI so much - it can be used as a stochastic authority to excuse their behaviour. And if they don't like what it extrudes? Well they can just shake up the inputs and run it again, until they get what they want.

I prefer emphasis, highlighting, and italics execution.

Maybe don't release an operating system that cannot be installed in a lot of computers?

I'll assume that is a rhetorical question? I mean, it's obvious why Tesla has been going off a cliff and continues doing so

It was 10x overbloated at the least, it's CEO is publicly a nazi, most claims that Tesla can do were all lies for over a decade now, the only new design it came up with is the cyber truck garbage container, the quality of all the cars is shit (even though they're overpriced) with the cybershit being literally more explosive than a Ford Pinto, and now there are way WAY cheaper options competing with Tesla. Then add to that that Tesla just decided to give the CEO 26 some billion dollars because that is apparently okay to do during a shitshow like this

Anyone still investing in Tesla gets what they deserve, you're an idiot if you do

There is no explaining job cuts when you've made record profits. You're just being greedy assholes.

I have no statistics, but my sense is that most orgs still depend on Active Directory, Sharepoint, and other services that are Windows-based and often hosted on the company's cloud structure. And Azure itself is fundamentally a Windows service.
