Ubuntu’s role in the ecosystem is important. They are good at first luring people into using linux. Then the users get pissed off of Ubuntu, because of Snap, ads, or whatever random crap they know from Windows. Finally, they move on to better options, be it Arch, Debian, or Puppy. Ubuntu ensures they don’t all stick to the same

Thought the same but with Queen

He would probably have died of natural causes anyway by now. But just disappearing for a few decades might be a sign someone wasn’t happy with his bodily integrity? Maybe he chills below one of the Miami skyscrapers now or whatever people in his business do in such cases.

Slightly late, but I currently rewatch the lecture I talked about in my other comment. The interesting part starts roughly here:

But really, the entire lecture series is quite worth a watch.

I think this entire “the Americans” and “the Germans” and “the Japanese” thing in this post is probably super productive and leads us somewhere useful!

Americans are also known for being really direct

Maybe in America. They are also known for saying “this is the best XYZ I’ve ever had in my entire life!!!” for every XYZ they ever have in their entire lives.

For politicians: Gesturing that you “do something” against the “rampant crime” happening everywhere, which makes you appear as if you care about citizens. On the other hand, actually doing something (e.g., preventative measures) is too expensive and doesn’t make you look cool as a politician. If you introduce the new surveillance ‘AI’ 2000 ™ by Future Corp., you represent safety, power, future, even if there is nothing meaningful behind it.

For Future Corp.: Sell a lot of shit to politicians and profit.

Wrong question. “I have a solution (‘AI’), what’s the problem it should solve?” This is the path towards micromanaging stuff that’s not core to the enterprise.

Instead, try to identify specific problems in the specific context, or factors that are most relevant for success. Then see what the solution could be. That solution might be “AI”, or a bunch of sticky notes, or whatever else.

Other than that: Wherever you use a new tech like ‘AI’, also consider the risks. For example, do you really want to outsource part of your customer relations to an unpredictable thing that sends them the implicit message that you don’t care to directly communicate with them? Etc.

Deadpool vs. (and?) Wolverine. Meh. They try to be funny by making fun of the megacorps that produce such movies (how witty indeed!) while being the same thing you’ve watched 1000 times before.

Many reasons on many levels. One of them: Browser developers and the companies behind them benefit from a system where we have basically 2 options that reliably work. They have a stronger interest in keeping this expensive, rather than making it easy and cheap. So making sure other people can also develop a different browser is not on the agenda of anyone relevant.
