Headed for the web as well as Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp, AI Studio will let you build a chatbot that acts as a virtual extension of yourself. Think of how much time you'll save by having your bot get into arguments for you

And of course, to be trained, it will need to have access even to the closet of your underwear

.NET is big, very big! So how many API's does it have? Let's find out! .NET... is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is...

|
The question is... how many of that is REALLY necessary?

Let us praise [.NET]:
Oh [.NET],
Ooh, you are so big.
So absolutely huge.
Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell you.
Forgive us, Oh [.NET], for this, our dreadful toadying, and barefaced flattery.
But you are so strong and, well, just so super.
Fantastic.
Amen.

Microsoft calls for a new legal framework to prosecute against AI-generated scams and abuse. At least that's what the video of Bill Gates said

"This is essential to build trust in the information ecosystem and will help the public better understand whether content is AI-generated or manipulated."
The downside is when it gets it wrong after lots of people have learned to trust the label. This is an arms race and there will be times the baddies pull ahead.

It’s not just you. The world’s software is feeling a little unstable lately. Must be all the Rust people are using

And this is a surprise?
Every advance in hardware is instantaneously filled with more bloated consuming software just because. Only because you can do one thing doesn't mean that you have to. If people tried to be good at a couple of things instead of purchasing all the buzzword bingo bullsh1t that is put in those useless rankings every year... maybe some things would not happen. After all, there is no bug free software and no 100% security, no matter what you do

It's growth. Well, that, and the way we grew.
We needed a decade's worth of web developers. We thought it was just fine to have a million different APIs we just download and glue together with tips from S.O.
This is skill, but it is a different sort of skill from authoring those APIs or authoring things without them.
I think it will continue to erode a bit longer. Too much demand and too little skill to go around and the combination means it's even more rare to have acumen in management with regard to all of it. AI will exacerbate this (via quantity), but the degree to which it helps find mistakes may make it a wash.

Even as companies race to roll out generative AI tools to be more competitive and productive, several hurdles are leading to pilots being abandoned. The other two will just disappoint

Microsoft's cloud services are having a bad day with users worldwide reporting difficulty connecting to Azure. Who needed to get any work done today anyway?

From the article: The outage will doubtless trigger a cold sweat in admins after the events less than two weeks ago, in which an Azure wobble preceded the arrival of CrowdStrike's horseman of the borkpocalypse.
