The rise of artificial general intelligence—now seen as inevitable in Silicon Valley—will bring change that is "orders of magnitude" greater than anything the world has yet seen, observers say. But are we ready? We weren't as worried about an electric apocalypse

Definitively not... there is way too much natural stupidity to be able to leave in peace with artificial intelligence. And I do not necessarily mean in a Matrix / Terminator sense.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

AI isn't going to heat my morning shower. It may make it so I never need to shower again, but it will never heat my morning shower.

Rust can benefit from the entire ecosystem of GCC tools and plugins created over GCC's 35-year history. A little WD-40 should prevent that

A potentially landmark copyright lawsuit could affect how libraries are able to scan their own book collections. Is it a library, or a lie?

For the sake of the general public I hope the Internet Archive wins this case. Publishers have put so many restrictions on their e-books that it's nearly impossible for libraries to afford them.

While these AI-powered tools have gotten much better at producing creative and sometimes humorous responses, they often include inaccurate information. I'm saving that one for my next annual review

In other words, technically correct and totally useless.

Sounds a lot like a human. Then again, GIGO's the word!

Hadn't thought of that -- using it for my current annual review... LOL!

Hackers continue to target zero-day vulnerabilities in malicious campaigns, with researchers reporting that 55 zero-days were actively exploited in 2022, most targeting Microsoft, Google, and Apple products. It's almost like: the more 0-days available, the more they'll get used?
Puzzling coincidence that

I don't know... but it can replace "article writers" for sure...

Sadly, no. This will probably be another Android store. Unless the do something magical and let Xbox games play on phones well.

Semantic Kernel (SK) is a lightweight SDK that lets you mix conventional programming languages, like C# and Python, with the latest in Large Language Model (LLM) AI “prompts” with prompt templating, chaining, and planning capabilities. Because your boss wants "some AI in our applications"

I am not sure if to say "luckily" or "sadly" but my boss doesn't want it. Neither I am sure what is worse...

Advocating for quality code isn’t always easy, because management doesn’t always care. But it’s the only way to build good things that deliver on their promise. Quality is job 0
Why has no one thought of this in the past?!

What? Wait... Do we have to think?

In news that should surprise absolutely nobody, a Windows update is causing major issues for some of those who've downloaded and installed it. An evergreen news item

Too bad MS hasn't allowed people to prioritize their updates (below). Then they would have known this faster. /s

As a writer, developer, content marketer, and business owner, where ChatGPT fits into the future of written content is top of mind these days. Not if people keep writing articles (hint, hint)
Because: "His master's voice", that's why
