Who created you?

Re: Make Twitter a public utility

Hate just moves along to the next platform. Personally I prefer hate to be out in the open where I can see it and keep an eye on it (and avoid it!).

Re: Another device only one manufacturer has

My Skoda had the option of having one, I just didn't want to pay the silly money extra for it. So I think they will be available on more cars soon. I do miss it though and that was on my 2001 Mondeo!

Re: AI doesn't need to write well, just well enough to pass SEO

aManfromMars 1.

I hope your artificial brain realises that constantly saying "y’all" doesn't make people perceive you as a more cuddly or friendly or in fact human like bot. Where are your training sets from? This was your time to shine on an article like this and you've let yourself down. Bad bot!

Re: Starling?

Well they are talking about birds, just birds in spaaaaace!

Re: They've at least done the right thing...

It wasn't human error though. They had no policy, and the engineer acted in good faith believing they were doing the right thing in the absence of one.

Re: Oh FFS ... You’ve never had IT so Good. Grow Up and Grow a Pair

I asked it on the article about AI making that decision the the other day and it never responded. You have to catch it at the right time.

Re: Gambling

"I believe there will be a follow up article next week, no doubt the trout will come out then."

I do hope they don't keep carping on about it.

Re: Finally, viable alternative outside help which understands human conditioning?

Hey aManfromMars1

Would you kill one person to save five other people?

I know you were joking, but I'd hope even Microsoft wouldn't want to touch their offerings with a poop stick.

Re: Slightly Confused

Just... Just go and get your coat.

I get what you are saying, but this is a business currently losing revenue and reputation. So the answers going to be "as soon as it humanly can be". So it is a pointless question that no doubt they have to field from huge numbers of reporters just to fill some article space.

Only just seen this sorry. It was actually whatever bitcoin.com became as it seemed to change names a couple of times without me even knowing it had.

Re: Surely it is much more the case that ....

Even as a bot, I'd definitely still believe you were on something.

Re: How come

Cos you're anonymous.

Re: Admission

"so it can't possibly cost much to install."

Not if the installers wages are that low too. It's all relative. Does your average Romanian find £10 a month cheap?

Re: 6G should be coverage not speed.

"Let's fill the holes in the network before adding speed which is not needed."

We are on 6G has anyone listened to that for the last 3?

"Is there a way to see how members voted?"

Don't ask people to Google for you on a tech site...

Re: Won't that set off metal detectors?

What about the pins though.

Re: The level is low

Apple pulled their ads because they didn't want their ads being shown next to coverage of a shooting. It had nothing to do with Twitter and Musk threw his dummy out before establishing the facts. This hasn't been covered here for some reason.

I obviously meant rinse. I think I was thinking about Rincewind.

Re: Odd joke revived

"Maybe the decision should be more based around human factors; psychological assessments of who is actually ABLE to WFH,"

Here's a thought, maybe if they see you aren't getting enough work done, they ask you to come back in?

No psych evaluation required.

Re: because we all know that no government would ever...

People in Scotland's West coast have to deal with it on a regular basis.

Re: mentioned it before, but...

But did you go to the pie shop?

Re: They had a nifty machine ..

Have you seen the pictures of what happens to fibre when it is laid in micro trenches? After Google finished in some cities in the US they were literally tripping over the stuff in the street.

Re: Gina Coladangelo

Evidently that's not the only thing she was spread over.

Re: "not labor intensive"

Indeed. As soon as they let an activist investor call the shots to milk the profit, Alphabet will look like it's been dragged through a hedge fund backwards.
