The absolute state of AI

First AI came for coding
And I didn’t speak out

Trapped in MS Office Seeking IT independence, Europe wants to escape Microsoft Office. The question is: where to?

Microsoft Office traps us in a world that vanished decades ago. Like the workplace in Severance, it holds us in a closed labyrinth where, instead of thinking, we click. Europe says it wants out. But how exactly do we escape the maze? And where would we go?

In the Age of AI, Human Support Is a Moat - @iamgregb The latest trend is to declare software, and SaaS in particular, dead. Why pay for tools when “AI agents” can build software tailored uniquely to your needs?...

Many people in high places are just tech-illiterate, but in my opinion, the worst privacy-violating and surveillance laws are always passed under the banner of “protecting the children.”
