How much hubris/ignorance this guy has to believe his algorithm is accurate enough to detect “10%” of employees were deadbeats? What precision! If it found 50% deadbeats, that would mean the algorithm might be working.
The worst companies have only 10% deadbeats? Any company with only 10% deadbeats means their management team is doing a great job hiring/managing. Any company that only 50% deadbeat managers would be outstanding.
My theory is: free publicity. Just like the fashion industry comes up with ridiculous clothes that no one would ever wear, attention whores will constantly do outrageous things so that people will talk about them. The number of electrons spilled over this stupid mouse port placement over the years is uncountable. But the repeated conversations keep Apple in the public consciousness as a fashionista.
I just tell them I don’t have a phone. Even if I’m still holding it in my hand. Most don’t want to engage. They likely figure they’re not payed enough for that.
Sam Altman is demonstrating the power of AI. He’s showing how a single CEO can fire the entire company and continue to develop the product to be even better than when humans were involved.
“OpenAI. No real humans involved!” ™
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.
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.
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
“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
Yup. It was the same enshittification process. “Subscribe to cable. We don’t have commercials!” Then a few years later, “Guess what?!? You’re getting commercials!”
Cable is dead! Long live Cable!

How does one set up such a filter?
When used by marketers, “up to” should be understood by customers as, “we guarantee you’ll never get more than”.
