Take the "Moral Turing Test" yourself to see whether you'd trust "artificial" moral advice. "You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you."
Which isn't really much, is it?

I don't think an AI will want to kill us, it will just be the most logical option to acomplish a goal

I think it's a conspiracy to be declaring that all code should be stateless. What's up with that?
I always knew I was a rainbow farting unicorn. I just have to keep working on it to sell them on the job title.

I'd say quite to the contrary. Code should go from one consistent state to another consistent state in atomic steps of (conceptually) zero time. Event driven state machines are easy to comprehend, reliable, efficient. Error/exception handling is much easier than in other programming models.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

After reaching its all-time high of 28.16% in February 2024, Windows 11 plummeted below the 26% mark. How's at "encouraging" people to upgrade working out for you?

We made changes nobody asked for, restricted the hardware it runs on, released broken updates and added advertisements. Why doesn't anyone like us?

Microsoft was ‘very worried’ it was years behind Google’s AI efforts. Fear is the Microsoft-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings investment in shady companies.
meh. That was better as an idea, in practice it ended up pretty lame.

LinkedIn launched its first three games. They are available to access on the web for PC and mobile users. Because nothing says 'job search' like 'word games'
Although now that I've put it that way, 'word games' does sound like some interviews I've had.
