A new survey from Cisco reveals that software developers are spending more than 57% of their time in “war room” meetings to resolve application performance issues, rather than focusing on building new software to drive innovation. Remember to aim for the base of the code when trying to put out fires

This is an outrage. That means you won't be able to access your files from a different install of an OS. And even if you can turn it off for yourself, your relatives are out of luck if their OS ever fails to boot.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I can see why one might want this for a mobile device or a laptop. I can see why enterprises would want this. Why would your average person want this on their home computer?
The biggest risk for your average user's home computer is attacks via the internet, against which encryption helps not at all. Even if one has secrets (e.g. financial data) on one's computer, this is overkill. An encrypted directory would solve the problem without compromising performance or risking complete data loss if the password is forgotten.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Researchers at MIT CSAIL and Project CETI believe that they have unlocked a kind of sperm whale “alphabet” with the aid of machine learning technologies. ArOOOO before mmsssshhhh, except after gk-gk-gk

I can see it years from now when the headlines reads. "We've done it, we've decoded a sperm whale conversation!"
father sperm whale: "Brrrrrr pop tick tick blop"
son sperm whale: "ArOOOO -gk-gk"
father: "Whoop Whoop Whoop1"
Translation:
Father: "My fin hurts son, could you pull on it for me?"
Son: "Oh dad, that's nasty!"
Father "Har, har, har!"

I used resume spammers to apply for 120 jobs. Chaos ensued. What happens if an irresistible force of AI-generated resume spam collides with an immovable object of AI-managed resume filters?
/shrug. Too long, too lame of an attempt at rephrasing a classic question. Try harder next time! C- (yes, I grade all my blurbs)

Quote: What I wanted was a true spray-and-pray machine, the AK-47 of job-application bots. For that, I turned to LazyApply.
Too bad LazyApply didn't keep it simple, and just call themselves "Spray & Pray!" as he used!

OpenAI is getting ready to give Google and Microsoft a run for their money in search. Why search, when you can have the AI hallucinate the results?
|
|
|
|
|
I hate to say it, but sometimes their hallucinations are pretty damn good. Even when they were wrong, it still took less time to confirm wrongness and continue on to the right answer than it would have been to wade through Google's ever-increasing garbage results.

AI/LLM could be an answer to how sift through gigantic mounds of garbage data.
It may be a bit like when you solve a problem with regex though.
