Can Trump literally do anything he likes? If so, what is the point of the Senate and Congress?
Why are the Senate and Congress not pushing back hard against this madness?
Sorry, I'm from the UK, I don't understand American politics.

Bring back the good old functional specs, I love them!
One source of truth for the Customer, BA's, Programmers, Testers, Service Management Team.
A lot easier than trying to work out the functionality of the system by trawling through 1000's of PBI's in Azure DevOps.
I fully agree with this statement:
I also wonder if every business is assuming that other businesses won't be paying off staff. If we're all replaced by AI who will be the customers? Who will have money to spend.
In the short time some companies may make money. But if the workforce is reduced across the board by say 20%, that's 20% more people on the dole, whose ability to consume products will be reduced, resulting in reduce income for companies.
What the Government and our local Councils need is the AI Customer Run-around tool.
Instead of the Customer talking to real person, who then passes them onto the next department and so on, until the Customer gives up in frustration, thus preventing the Customer getting the help they need and hence saving the Council loads of money. This could all be done using AI. The AI answers the call, pretends to pass it onto another department, but just changes its voice.
Thus, saving Council staff doing this and also reducing the amount of time Council staff spend on giving the Customer the run-around.
Theres no way we can meet our net zero carbon plans if we allow AI data centers to be built in the UK or anywhere.
We should put a stop to AI until it can be implemented without using so much computing power and energy. There should only a few AI centers for research until the energy issue is sorted.
It's crazy how the Government has jumped on the AI bandwagon. More waste of tax payers money, when there's more urgent things to spend our tax payers money on like sorting out social care.
OK this is a crazy idea, but maybe we should throw the concept of Open Source Software in the bin.
Everyone should get paid for their work!
Why are people working for free on these projects? How are you going to put food on the table if you are not earning money.
If you are working for free, surely you are putting some one out of a job somewhere.
By working on Open Source Software, you are providing you services for free to thousands of organizations who could afford to pay to pay you.
Surely Microsoft are trying sell stuff that 99.99% of the population don't need. They are trying to find a market for AI that just doesn't exist.
I think we need to rebrand AI as Artificial Ignorance, that will stop this AI nonsense. Every other company CEO is trying to get on the AI band wagon.
Having a company with x number of employees is like trying to protect a castle with x number of doors. You only have to leave 1 door open, and your castle is breached. With an attack occurring every 70 seconds, surely, it's inevitable that every company will eventually succumb to a cyber security breach. It’s like a constant war of attrition.
I think Rapid7 behavior is disgraceful. They are no better than unethical hackers. Publishing this information was just malicious.
If I was a Company whose computer systems had been exploited as a result of their disclosure I would be suing them.
There's no way that 5 hours would have been enough time for everyone to get their servers up to date.
Short replacement cycles are not good for the environment, think of all that electronic waste that is being generated.
I just had to move to a new laptop due to a fault on my existing one. It took me over a week to re-install all my developer applications and a month later I'm still discovering that I'm missing stuff. I don't want to go through that pain again any time soon. Long refresh cycles for me!
Maybe there should be more focus on making existing software run more efficiently, so that it can continue to run on existing hardware.
We need to ask ourselves what is more important:
the mental well being of our children?
or the ability for people to view porn websites or post harmful content without the risk of being identified?
I feel that the mental well being of our children is extremely important and that social media should use age verification to prevent children accessing harmful content.
