Oh, and by the by, Amazon paid for the miserable Melania Biopic sop as a bribe to his Orangeness. Seems like a lot of jobs they sacrificed in order to “make” an #EpsteinGirl “movie”???

Somewhat like Sharp Cheddar, I'm Gen X. My company laid off some engineers, including me, *just* before the AI bullshit kicked into high gear. And the layoffs have kept coming since then. It's been more than a year; I've been thinking of myself as involuntarily retired for a while now.

Not sure exactly what I'm going to do. Get some kind of day job that doesn't require 20 years experience or years of specialist training? Try to live off retirement savings years earlier than I'd planned to?

I refuse to use "AI". Even if it worked (it doesn't) and even if it didn't deskill its users (it does) and even if the C-suite didn't have unrealistic expectations about it (they do), it's still an ethical minefield and I'm not touching it. My open-source projects' code has been used to train all of them without my permission, and I'm damned if I'm going to give those companies a "customer" statistic.

We heard the name "Copilot Control System" on many of the big stage keynote presentations at #MSIgnite last week.

I tired to find out what it actually is. Finally, this slide was discovered, not from Ignite, but from a separate analyst bfiefing by MS.

Yeah, it's a "system" with #airquotes. "Collection of IT capabilities", related to managing #Copilot in various #Microsoft admin experiences.

Oh well. It's vision stuff, like so much of Ignite. In 2025 they'll probably rebrand it anyway.😁

Peter Graves engages in espionage in such exotic locations as a hotel hallway and the attached conference center in 'Missile X: The Tehran Incident'!

A ★ review of Missile X: The Neutron Bomb Incident (1979)

This a shockingly incompetent Eurospy flick; it hits all the beats of a James Bond knockoff but always off… beat? There has to be a better way to say that. There’s the “dashing” government agent played by the never dashing Peter Graves, who doesn’t show up for far too long. There’s a rogue plan to throw the world into chaos, I guess, the details are a little vague and we never meet the person behind it just their hired guns. And a glamours and exotic location that is never shown off, is so poorly shot, that the production might as
