Ransomware Ecosystem Evolves Amid Profitability Decline

The ransomware ecosystem is evolving, with the threat remaining alarmingly widespread across industries and regions, yet the business model fueling it is showing signs of strain. This paradox has emerged as ransomware-as-a-service and specialization have driven its growth, despite declining profitability.

Health is not a deliverable commodity and care does not come out of a system.

AI가 저렴해지면서 비용 자체는 더 이상 차별화 요소가 되지 않는다는 주장입니다. 향후 진정한 경쟁우위는 어떤 모델을 사용하는지가 아니라 그 모델을 어떻게 적용하느냐(응용)라는 전략적 관점을 강조하며, 출처는 artificialanalysis.ai입니다.

Nothing in the universe is as diverse as a byte of data, which can carry information ranging from baby pictures to a digitally signed million-dollar bank transfer. It's like saying that Shakespeare's works are a commodity because he uses the alphabet just like everybody else.

everybody "amazed" by "recommendation engines" should read this: https://www.amazon.com/Mood-Machine-Spotify-Perfect-Playlist/dp/1668083507

I'm personally so glad I'm not only not on a #Spotify plan, but I don't use the service what so fuckin ever. If I want niche i go soundcloud and bandcamp and occasionially buy directly from artits (I hope).

If I'm looking for confirmation something is good and I haven't missed it, I go to https://www.albumoftheyear.org/ and check reviews. Also #metacritic and then try to buy it. If I can't I download it this way or another... still better to discover and acknowledge artists than the fucked up "recommendation engine".

AI does not reason. It applies probabilities.

It's like eating an apple and assuming that everything will be as tasty: http://data.yt/kit/how-ai-works.html

‘Artificial intelligence’ accelerates the commoditization of paid employment.

To the extent that health care becomes a commodity it becomes distributed just like champagne. That is rich people get lots of it. Poor people don’t get any of it.
