Thought Leaders: "Programming will be obsolete within 5 years. All business software will be generated by AIs"

Actual Businesses: "actually we're mainly still on-premise, running on Windows Server 2003 and VBScript ASP, but our two-year plan to migrate everything into a cloud kicked off in 2015 and we're making steady progress."

BREAKING: Brazilian authorities are reopening the criminal case against #GeorgeSantos, who committed fraud in #Brazil.

Santos is now the target of local, state, national, and international law enforcement.

George Santos should RESIGN before disgracing himself any further.

@RitchieTorres He's a perfect GOP candidate.... Just Saying
@Henry288 @QasimRashid Where are you getting the notion that it wouldn't be earned? Qasim listed a "living wage" and wages, by definition, are earned through work.

A quick reminder that law enforcement *responds* to crime, but a living wage, food and water security, accessible healthcare, and public education *prevent* crime.

If you want safer communities, invest in people, not punishments.

If this year taught us anything, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers.
3) Poverty is a policy choice.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.

I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

This study from Stanford shows that people who use GitHub copilot produce code with more security flaws than people who don't; it's roughly the same size as the study GitHub keeps quoting saying it makes developers faster. https://www.theregister.com/2022/12/21/ai_assistants_bad_code/
Study finds AI assistants help developers produce code that's more likely to be buggy

At the same time, tools like Github Copilot and Facebook InCoder make developers believe their code is sound

The Register

In America, this is what you can do when you’re white.

And to put it plainly, appeals to racial animus are like catnip to millions of White Americans. In the modern era, Trump (and Abbott, DeSantis, the GOP writ large) know this and go all in. It’s their secret sauce.

“The migrants were dropped off in below-freezing temperatures.. some wearing only sweatshirts and shorts.”

More migrants bussed to Kamala Harris’s home on Christmas Eve

Three buses of Central and South American migrants arrived at the vice-president’s home from Texas

The Guardian
On Christmas Eve Putin says he’s “ready to negotiate.”
Having “negotiated” w/ Russian military & Defense Ministry I learned lessons: Even in small things, RU officials don’t negotiate…they demand, then they lie, and then they renege on agreements.
