  • My last company had two primary software products. The one customers always opted for was the green-screen version, like something out of 1989 with an AS400 backend. Funny thing is, the backend was IBM’s latest version of the 400. :)

    Had a couple of customer service and tech support jobs in the 90s using such systems. Once you get the hang of the menu tree, you can haul ass through tasks. When our customers would go for the GUI product, they’d immediately revert back to the green screen.




  • Nobody read the article? This could be a game changer if they stick with it and train, train, train. This is the exact sort of thing AI should excel at, no idea why this is failing so hard. Seems like this should be correctable pretty quickly. 🤷🏻

    the “smart” gizmo analyzes the rhythms of the heartbeat and blood flow that’re undetectable to the human ear, while also performing a quick electrocardiogram, or ECG, which is a test that gauges your heart’s electrical activity

    I guess EEGs are pretty quick as is, had one last years in my doctor’s office. But still, if this turns out cheaper and faster, well, more testing never hurts. I’d love to get results in one minute and not have to strip and get wired up.


  • Winners will rise from the eventual ashes, but what then? I still don’t see how they make a profit, let alone recoup their outlay. Even large corporate customers will eventually drop AI.

    Business has seen failure after failure to reap real benefits. At some point the boards of directors will take it out on the CEOs, ousting any that went all in on AI. I don’t think that’s wish fulfillment. CEOs have been kicked to the curb for far less than fucking up their workforce and lighting money on fire.

    Anyway, AI expenditures are propping up our economy, in America at least. Consider the coming crash along with Republican’s idiot tariffs and other boolshit that has turned away even our closest allies, this crash is going to make the dotcom bubble and 2008 look like small beer.







  • His puppet masters are working overtime to stop him from firing Powell. The shockwaves in the financial market would indeed trickle down. LOL, for once trickle-down economics would be real!

    Seriously, have you ever seen someone Trump hated so publicly, whom he could legally fire, not be fired?! He’s trying his hand at firing Cook because that’s as far as the aforesaid masters dare let him go. Also, she’s black. So score some points there.

    I could be totally wrong. I’m stunned he was allowed to throw tariffs around as he has. His wealthy advisors and sycophants aren’t as dumb as we think. They got money behind them saying, “Oh FFS! Do not do this shit!” And yet he did?
