As usual, the business fundamentals thing happens after the compensation has been paid out.

I’m getting the picture that governance is a great thing until you find out that other people want to govern you back.

The encouragement of a situation where you disconnect with those outside, the sleep deprivation, the drip of hints that you’re not meeting the standard, the trust in the great leader.

It also sounds corporate, yes.

Just a minor paragraph rewrite for clarity.

“The reality of generative AI is you’ve got to have a foundation of cloud computing,” AWS Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector Dave Levy, whose compensation relies on him successfully growing Amazon’s computer rental income, told Nextgov/FCW in a June 26 interview at AWS Summit. “You’ve got to get your data in a place where you can actually do something with it.”

It’s always so tedious when these little conflict of interest notes are left out of articles.

I applaud your optimism that most people can do this without AI but have you gone and met people? Most people are not that capable of producing torrents of shameless bullshit as conscience or awareness of social and/or professional costs rear their head at some point.

I came here for his full-throated support of Apple Music staying installed no matter what and I am so sorely disappointed.

A really good lesson on offline backups of things like issue trackers, though.

This whole festival sounds like it could have used conflict of interest subtitles. When somebody’s voice is saying “I actually think that AI (blah, blah)” there’s one subtitle with the words and another with phrasing such as “(Person)'s annual stock award will be increased by (number)% if paid subscriptions to (company)'s AI product rise by (number)%.”

So that’s why people are getting Amazon to give them ANFO instructions.

I know that crowd’s politics are ultra-reactionary, and yet it’s still fascinating just how few ideas the tech revanchists have that aren’t “this thing is bad and should be rolled back”. Do they have any ideas developed from socially acceptable principle at all?

So pretty much like playing Hexen 2 on a P100 in 1997 huh.

The sheer comedy of libertarians rules-lawyering international law for their intermittently flooded microstate though. As opposed to, say, using free contracts between individuals.

Now I have another example of libertarianism for my list if I actually need to talk about libertarianism instead of just point and laugh.
