therefore it can be found on PyPI as PiPy. I’ll see myself out.

Man, I miss those batshit crazy threads about esolangs!

it’s kinda funny how all these massive business are all giant money drains year after year after year. back in the day business people used to pride themselves being in the black.

I don’t think they care about ROI for real. If they cared none of that would’ve happened because that’s just not how a real businesses are operating. You can burn the investments into R&D to an extent but if the product’s money flow doesn’t show a positive dynamics long enough - you get ready for some soul searching shit. My guess is that a lot of things contributing to AI bubble have something to do with money laundering.

next year’s salary research is going to be a lot of fun!

There sure are but will there ever be a real chance to attract sober investors to make it work as a real business and not growth hacking extravaganza any time soon?

But what will be left after it bursts? At least in cause of the housing bubble - the houses existed physically - what will be after the AI crash? Lots of spare gear sold for cheap?

therefore - fuck all’em

what baffles me is how blatant the big tech behaves. it is comically Bond villainesque. even big oil and pharma don’t act like that - at least they try to play-pretend they’re good guys (albeit everyone sees through their bullshit)

If that’s ain’t gaming system then I don’t what is

that’s why duckduck gang 4 life

that word is so loaded for me - literally every time someone uses it regardless of context I remember The Godwinns theme and feel really old.

Wired clickbait, sigh

I see. Thanks for clarification. I never worked with COBOL myself but have couple of folks on the team who worked with COBOL in banking back during 2000s who still have full-on vietnam flashbacks over it. I guess the COBOL they worked with was an older iteration than you described.

my only experience with it was for code cleanup - since those tools save me from bitching and moaning from the team - let it rip

You sir are hardcore.

It has its moments, but you are absolutely right - 25 years ago Wired would’ve torn modern Wired a new one for their clickbait speculative thinkpieces.

Its Freemium, at least it was like that. Using COBOL should be regulated by Geneva conventions at this point.

nowhere, I just relayed my personal observation regarding vibe coding in Ukraine as one of the examples

Wired pushing corporate agenda is happening.
