If you're smart, pull your investments from them because it's only a matter of time before they push some AI built update with minimal/no oversight and totally fuck up, like crowdstrike did.

Totally fucking up has zero consequences when there is no competition and you can afford the lobbyists to keep it that way.

It'll be funny when Salesforce asks the AI for what they want, and don't get exactly what they want, and then don't know how to manipulate the AI to get what they want.

Exactly like it is now for a picture.

It's his wizard hat. He usually pairs it with a cloak.

"it started as a wart on my ass" - the hat

Apparently people were wearing "hats" on their heads before it became impractical and unnecessary with people taking cars to go anywhere that's more than a few feet away.
