    What game? I used to need to occasionally boot into Windows to play games, but it has been over a year since the last time I had to do this.

  • Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge

    Jump

  • The elephant in the room is 42% “we bought this and it didn’t do shit”.

    It depends on whether the cost of adopting AI was included or not; if it was, then buying AI did not hurt, which could theoretically be cited as justifying additional experimentation with it. If buying AI was not included in the costs, then arguably this box is simply wrong because it did increase costs.

    (But again, given that this is just a survey of CEOs, it's not like there is anything rigorous about any of this...)

  • No, you're right, me grouping the boxes into "red" and "green" was misleading because the neutral box was red.

  • They were referring to the original article that The Register is citing: https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/issues/c-suite-insights/ceo-survey.html

    Scroll down to the 3x3 grid, and you will see that the percentages in the green squares (corresponding to benefits) add up to more than the percentages in the red squares (corresponding to drawbacks). You can see from this that The Register cherry-picked the numbers to tell a particular narrative. For the sake of illustration, were one trying to push the opposite narrative, one could just as accurately have said that only 13% of companies experienced worse outcomes as a result of using AI, whereas 87% experienced neutral or better outcomes!

    (Just to be clear, though, I do think that a survey of the prevailing attitudes of CEOs is not a great way of obtaining an objective metric for anything other than the prevailing attitude of CEOs.)

  • Actually, you make a pretty good point there.

  • Ok i doubt anyone is going to be willing to have this discussion, but here i am.

    You're right; here I was enjoying a silly comic--written in 2011--about computers turning programming into human daycare, and someone had to turn it into yet another excuse to start talking about AI, as if we didn't have enough of that!

  • X.Org Server May Create A New Selective Git Branch With Hopes Of A New Release This Year

    Jump

  • You missed the part where the reason why they are doing this is because the person who started XLibre had previously committed so much bad code to XOrg that needed to be rolled back that the git history is now a mess that is hindering forward progress. The goal of the new release is to start over from 2024 and cherry-pick the commits they want to keep in order to clean the history up.

  • I will give you the benefit of the doubt that of course you would split the profits from the ticket sales; you just left it implied.

  • I really wish that my parents had mentioned much earlier in my life that mental illness runs in the family and what the signs were so that I could have started getting treatment right away, rather than wasting years of my life confusing feelings of depression for proof that I was a terrible person. (Just to be clear, there was no malice involved; my mom just felt really self-consious about it, so she did not want to bring it up.)
