Unless you know your history and recognize that every single time one of these fantasies takes over the economy, the failure to actually, y'know, be a profitable business ultimately dooms it.
I wonder what it's like being an investor in one of these companies. You're watching them shovel mountains of money into the AI furnace, with literally no profit to show for it, but the stock keeps going up. What's your "get out before the whole thing collapses" number? I mean, there must be some voice at the back of your mind going, "This is unsustainable."
Tech bros and their sycophants have started saying things like "the old rules don't apply anymore." That also happened in 2007-2008. That also happened just before the dotcom bubble burst. That happens before every pie-in-the-sky idea that takes over the economy but has no actual plan for profitability finally burns out.
So what's your get-out number, investor guys?
Holy shit, I can literally just copy and paste the text?!?
Loads fine for me. Maybe their servers were taking a beating when you tried?
I've been somewhat avoiding the news (for my sanity), but I have heard that some of the PDFs turned out to be badly redacted and the original text is accessible programmatically. Do you happen to have a link to one? I'm a developer and have worked with PDFs extensively in the past. I'd love to delve into one and un-redacted it.
If I won that, my very first thought would be, "I have to get rid of most of this as soon as humanly possible."
I like that you called it poison because all options are bad, but I prefer the one I consider the least bad: Angular.
His main mistake is that the child in question is Eric.
React sucks. I'm sorry, I know it's popular, but for the love of glob, can we not use a technology that results in just as much goddamn spaghetti code as its closest ancestor, jQuery? (That last bit is inflammatory. I don't care. React components have no opinionated structure imposed on them, just like jQuery.)
I'm required to use it a little bit for my job. (I'm a software developer). I do the absolute minimum I can with it, then don't touch it the rest of the day.
Reasons:
- It's an ongoing environmental disaster.
- It's a giant plagiarism machine.
- If you're trusting its output, you're being foolish.
- The business model for them being profitable doesn't exist. I don't want to depend on a technology I consider a dead end.
- They make you stupid. If you get hooked on using them, then when the bubble finally pops and most of these bullshit purveyors fold, you'll have already forgotten how to think and research for yourself. The imaginary "convenience" of being confidently and convincingly lied to by a large language model isn't worth it.
Ask one how to cook a turkey, it will give you convincing and unsafe instructions. Ask it if any mammals fly airplanes, it will gaslight you into thinking none do (humans are mammals). Ask it to do any task involving parsing the letters in words, and instead of honestly telling you it can't, it will give you utterly incorrect responses.
These tools aren't fit for purpose. They're shiny and fast and wrong in both obvious and subtle ways.

Hmmm. The NVMe standard has existed since 2011, and Samsung released their first commercially-available drive with it in 2013. So Microsoft has had at least 12 years to make nvmedisk.sys the standard driver for these disks.
