In my study days, around 1980, I bought a book with the title "Machines who think". (It has since become sort of a classic.)
If we presented young people of today with what we had 45-50 years ago, out expectations then and how it ended up, I guess that they would considerably cool down.
25 years after I completed my studies, at the bi-annual student festival at my alma mater, I gave a presentation of the visions we had as students back then, and related them to the current state of the art. True enough: We have more colors on the screen. More dots. The waiting time for a compilation has gone down. But these are not principal advancements. All the "revolutions" that we expected within a few years are still future revolutions. (Even today, 15 years later, they still are.)
In a few years, I expect the current 'AI' wave to be similar to 'more colors, more dots'. Sure, there is an improvement, but a gradual one. Not earth shaking. This wave will be similar to the numerous previous waves, leading to an expanded set of commonly recognized algorithms for extracting information from large data structure.

imho, if you cull out the people surveyed who tend to be too impressed by tech innovation ... and survey those who are reluctant to extrapolate game-changing implications ...
you may see a different picture.
i heard distant thunder as the first Chat/GPT demos and facilities rolled in ... now, that i get hands-on with seeing what it can do in terms of code-gen in actual code development ...
i am convinced it has an important future; one that is still to be realized.
i am ready to say: "increasing my skills (prompting ?) in describing what i want in code" is worth investing in.
YMMV !

Job recruiters share advice to help applicants increase the chance of landing the job, even as more tech is used in the process. Using pink paper still good?

yesterday (or maybe two days ago) I read another article on this topic, and it was giving a serie of totally different tips. Some of them just were the opposite, specially in format and layout.

Two Linux vulnerabilities introduced recently into the Ubuntu kernel create the potential for unprivileged local users to gain elevated privileges on a massive number of devices. It's the Year of Linux Vulnerabilities

Disconnect from work and let the horses of Iceland reply to your emails while you are on vacation. Your boss may get suspicious when they start understanding your emails

For that I think we would need donkeys to write the messages and not horses...

The SEC rule change also requires public companies to disclose their cybersecurity approach on an annual basis, which could push them to invest more in their IT defenses. Just report EVERY four days to be sure
Probably fairly accurate for some companies.

I think the SEC is going to need a lot of new personal...
Or are they going to do as many other agencies and ignore almost everything they get reported?

This is Microsoft’s first antitrust investigation in the EU for nearly 15 years. First in 15 years? I could have sworn it was more like 15th this year.
I'm sure this has nothing to do with Slack being down this morning.

Teams is a core UI component to the Microsoft 365 environment, using Exchange on-line for chats and SharePoint on-line for file storage. My staff uses both Teams and Slack, depending on who they're talking to. Now the braindead Teams client that ships with Windows 11 - that needs to go away.

And, these kinds of whistles, followed by official denials ...
May lead to lucrative post-hearing gigs, books, movie options, etc. for the blowers ... in the boundless conspiracy-theory economy.
i'm hoping for an alien abduction real soon, and that they might fix a few things wrong with ... this 1038+ lunar-cycled body: take all the samples they want; put some hairy swagger back on those telomeres.
Meanwhile, the aliens right under our feet party-on: [^].
Just keep saying: "Oumuamua" [^] ?

Agree...
On the other hand, what would be the best way to make possibly real affected people get perceived as nuts? To make a film that describe what they would try to whistleblow, so most people say:
Yeah, right. You have seen the film XYZ under the effects of whatever drug you took and you think it was for real.

That would probably be some of the most classified material this country has and this "ex-whatever" yahoo is out there talking about it? So much for the respect of the credentials, the requirements to get them, the job, and his peers.
To say I don't believe him would be an understatement.

Area 51 was spoken about for a long time and people didn't believe it (and I only mean the place itself, not the "content"). Later on it got disclosed and some people could have said: "See? I told you"
I am not telling this is true. I am just telling, that it could be true.

Pissed off people can go way long beyond that just for revenge.
And it would be not the first time, someone discloses things giving a rat crap about that (or maybe because they thought it is too "trascendental" to be kept secret and must be know by the general public)
Or whatever the personal reason for such a leak is.
i.E. Snowden
On the other side... I am sceptical too. It would be a real coincidence that the only place in the world where UFOs land, get caught, crash, whatsoever... is the USA. And that noone else manages to even detect them before the crash. Or that "men in black" flashlight does exist and is used extensivelly to hide the cases.
