Meta paid $14.3 billion for a stake in Alexandr Wang's Scale. Meta has poached a guy from Apple who told them he can do AI, by paying him $200 million to change desks. Ilya Sutskever's company is valued at $32 billion and Mira Murati's Thinking Machines is valued at $10 billion. Neither has a...

Limitless.ai/#pendant Being a bit of a luddite I see this as a definite and unnecessary intrusion of privacy. But some deluded souls have spent $33M and counting in getting it to market. (Needless to say I'll not be shellin' out $300 on one.......plus the 33% 125% 145% tariff of course)

Whist I was driving back from a walk on the hill, ABBA came on the car radio. I got to thinking if I was the only one who was sick and tired of hearing their near identical 50 year old tedium. Hardly a day goes by without what has become ABBA's repetitious banality from the DJs and track...

Whilst I can change position, size, colours and just about any setting to objects on a form using VBA. They aren’t permanently saved into the Property Sheet pages in the Access IDE. Is there a method of permanently saving changes made using VBA to settings like TextAlign, Width, Left, FontName...

The CROWDSTRIKE issue started in jokes, which was maybe not the best place. I just wonder how much of that was written by AI and if there is too much automatic reliance on its superiority. Why was it not more thoroughly tested? Another concern to me would be the issue that Gasman brought up...
