How stupid are these shareholders and traders?
I can only assume its part of a pump and dump scheme.
Oracle are nowhere on the AI radar.

I think you're a little too negative on this one - at least as far as UK law goes.
The announcement (if reported accurately) is a blanket policy and open to huge challenges, and potential joint actions by multiple 10's of employee's.
There is zero chance Dell will try to blanket enforce this in the UK.
Expect them to quietly back out and say it was US only.
But don't be surprised to hear of huge payouts by Compromise agreements to keep everything on the down-low.
It doesn't spy on anything you are doing. Yes it has some access by default but its not (currently at least) doing stuff with that access unless you explicitly tell it to.
If you're worried about that you need to spend a lot more time working about MS Graph. Thats the monitoring-ware.
Case in point - look at the default Edge Home page OR if you want real nightmares look at MS Delve. It basically can tell you what your boss had for breakfast.
The post office is not unique in using Private Prosecutions and has no special powers to do so, (in spite of its origin as being one of the earliest Investigations function.
The difference for the PO was that the Legal system was *accustomed* to them doing so *at scale*, some of the usual scepticism that maybe another private company would get was missing.
Eh? Are you drunk?
Considering he was sideswiped too he's not put a foot wrong. His decision at every point has been to protect MS's investment in Altman and his inner circle who are the geese laying the golden eggs.
The El Reg article on this from yesterday has aged rather badly. Lol.
Your first comment was a bust - but keep digging.
Not a Musk fan but SpaceX payloads have some of the lowest insurance costs around because it's the most reliable launch platform in existence.
Its exactly how deep SpaceX's pockets are. SpaceX expect and have planned for the first few launches to be underwritten by themselves, and will be offering hugely discounted payload fees.
Why do you think he launched the Roadster on Falcon Heavy?
Duh.
You are confusing your geeky needs with general use cases - they are not the same thing.
You *want* 16Gb coz you are willy waving. Coz bigger in better innit. Do you own an SUV?
I agree with the general tone of the article but the reality is there are tons of use cases where 8Gb is plenty.
Even on Windows - ironically have at 2012 MBA with 4Gb comfortably running basic browser and office tasks using Win10 Bootcamp.
Unless you're a tier one enterprise who can piss money and pride up the wall developing your own LLM's the only game in town are those LLM's from the hyperscalers, for which re-training and fine tuning are very limited options anyway. With a bit of prompt engineering they are pretty good - certainly for the general stuff you're likely to throw at them via Snowflake.
The actually cost of running the hyperscalars LLM's are buttons too - only the artificial price points set by the hyperscalars is a consideration. Anything from with GPT3.5Turbo is peanuts, GPT4 is still expensive but expect that to come down as the competition builds....
(Theres some interesting low resource LLM's emerging on places like Hugging Face, but Consumer grade LLM's from the hyperscalers is mostly where its going to be at unless you've got a big Data Science team struggling to stay relevant.).
This case has always struck me as a bit strange.
As others have pointed out showing that apple actually profited from this action is counterintuitive as they lost out on upgrades and similar. No-one has shown or proven any nefariousness on Apples part merely what appears to have been a poorly communicated effort to improve battery life and stability.
I dont see how ANY sane judge could rule that people have suffered a financial loss from Apples activities, and therefore are due damages. Even if they have suffered a loss there is no way to show its been anything but trivial.
This stinks of a monetisation play by greedy lawyers rather than any pro-active consumer led action.
Your last line is BS.
In 2018 the cheapest MPB 13" with touchbar was $1800 a year before that the *real* budget 128Gb non-touch model was $1300.
Today - the cheapest MPB 14" M3 is $1700
13" 2013 MBA base price - $1099
13.6" M2 MBA base price $1199.
So Apple prices have been pretty stable, they've always commanded a premium but there is little evidence to show that that the premium has increased with the M series processors.
Apart from the fact that you never, ever, ever customise these monolith POS ERP systems, there is no way Oracle doesn't have a way to allocate cash across accounts. I know of 3 from our Oracle implementation and I have kept as far away as humanly possible from it, someone with product knowledge would know more.
Its shit, but its not that shit.
Whats the betting the big 3 (EY, PWC, KPMG) have done the majority of the cash hoovering that took it to £100m?
Weird linking the resignation to the data breach. That was a clear case of incompetence on the part of the person who prepared the spreadsheet. Its literally their job. Dont see it as a resigning matter for the big boss, unless until the Inquiry has signifiant findings.
I do wonder what else has been bubbling away apart from the Disciplining officers thing,
Thats a pretty flawed argument. Any Aliens with the technology to visit Earth, must by definition be at least 50 years ahead of us minimum, if not hundreds or thousands.
The level of automation AND more importantly the cost of that automation would be buttons to them.
Therefore is no technological reason they would need human slaves, they would WANT to keep slaves for a reason other than the cost of technology - ideological or religious AND be culturally blind enough to accept the risk of a slave uprising using their technology against them. they'd have to be 100% sure that their technology was unusable in any shape or form by us.
The principles in GDPR are nearly all qualified including the so called “right to be forgotten” this article seems to skip that key point. There is no universal requirement for a processor to delete your PII.
For a privacy breach to be shown the following has to happen.
Firstly you’ll have to show there is a reasonable probability that a LLM was trained on your PII. (If OpenAI says no what are you gonna do?)
Secondly you’ll have to show it retains that information. ( can you show the LLM has retained memory that reliably returns your PII)
Thirdly all the way OpenAI or whomever will be throwing legitimate use and other justifications around like confetti.
I can’t see this working anywhere except perhaps Germany.
Fourthly if you seriously want to go after a LLM producer you’ll have far more luck down an Automated processing angle…
Iceberg, Hudi or some other kind of shizzle. Its all edge case stuff.
If you have mainly Data Science workloads have Databricks, if you have mainly traditional workloads have Snowflake. Even better - leave the DS's in the corner with Databricks whilst the real Enterprise level stuff goes on in Snowflake.
Based on my usage of ChatGPT thats not true though. One of the "killer" use cases for it is what I call style translation.
You paste in a rough draft and then you ask ChatGPT to formalise or to "Gen Z"-ise the results are pretty promising.
ITs also a great "inspiration tool" if you are struggling to get started its good for a couple of summary paragraphs.
Of course idiots will use it verbatim, but thats really like using Excel as a calculator - a valid use case but not the tool sweet spot.
