It says he was suspended, not fired.
Was it suspension, with a high outcome of being fired?
Suspended pending an enquiry?
Suspended, but maybe get his job back?
I mean if it's suspended pending an enquiry where he may get his job back after a disciplinary, then he's an even bigger idiot and maybe the company thought "no need to wipe his account, he'll be back next week' (although I would still disable them".
...it's how AI tends to work for many things.
It simply outputs something around the middle. It's one of the giveaways for AI images and videos (and I'm guessing music)
If you look properly at AI imagery, it tends to look pretty flat, no deep blacks, no bright whites, no hard shadows and bright spots, just an average all over brightness and contrast, like everything has been shot with all over flood lighting.
I think it was on a podcast by Tech won't save us, or Better Offline, that these doomers are both sides of the same coin.
You have the "AI is the greatest thing ever and will save humanity" and "AI will destroy everything", both are both put forward by AI "researchers" with a vested interest in AI, often funded by the very AI companies that benefit.
BOTH "arguments" promote 'The Power of AI" in one form or another.
Do you see any of these AI snake oil peddlers going "We're going to fund research into how little difference it REALLY makes once the hype dies off?" Of course not.
So had the "joys" of Token Ring and 10base2.
Ah the fond memories of crawling under desks trying to which dodgy card was taking half the site off line....
Or wondering if the Baystack 450T's would power up, or the Shiva RAS would have Factory reset, after after any reboots.
"Do we have a definitive answer to the Spanish blackout yet?"
Yes it was the non-renewable power plants not doing the job they were paid and contracted to do, I.e. ramp up output when doing power surges.
Quote
"Both the government and Redeia are adamant: renewable energy was not the culprit. In fact, at the moment the grid crashed, renewables were supplying a massive 59% of Spain’s electricity. As Redeia’s own operations chief put it, “Had conventional power plants done their job, there would have been no blackout.”

...listened to advice?
If they did, most drugs would be legal, as would soliciting for sex (paying for sex could still be illegal), council houses would be a thing, as would rent controls. I could go on about shell companies, overseas businesses buying UK properties, income related fines, investment in youth services, reduction in planning red tape and on and on.
It's on about reselling businesses. It completely ignores the likes of FB and eBay, let alone hand me downs.
My old Mate 20 Pro has a new life as a fire TV remote (can't be arsed to buy a new one) and as a audio streamer for my "ancient" hifi.
It was replaced this year with a Pixel 7 pro, which is what 2 to 3 years old now.
Sigh ...another home user comparing their set up with a 10,000 person set up
For starters, why the fuck are you using DHCP if you need a back to check every 10 minutes! Unless you are using DHCP to assign fixed IPs, but again, why check every 10 minutes?
Also are you checking if the service is running or it is actually handing out renewals? Two very different scenarios? Are you checking that it's not just handing out renewal but all the DHCP options often required these days such as SIP proxies?
Another brain-dead moron talking bullshit about "AI doing stuff" without saying what stuff it will do, because, as with most of these fucking corporate ass kissing managers, they don't have a clue a) what they are talking about and b) what the people that work for them ACTUALLY do day in day out
They just spend every day in meetings talking with equally pathetic people , who also have no idea what they are talking about.
We don't
We poison the fuck out if it. We inject corrupted images, with Glaze and Nightshade, we use Harmony cloak and Poisonfy for music.
If Google's dog shit "search" gives you a terrible result, upvote it. Copy the text and inject it into your social media accounts, with a healthy dose of sarcasm, which it will not understand.
Let's make the models collapse asap, so we can move aware from this brain rot and hopeful regain control from the brain dead narcissist pricks like Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Satya Nadella.
...the in joke was that they moved just so the management has a window seat on the sunnyside of the building.
Mouldy food, missing hardware, hundreds of power bricks, single shoes and even a pair of knickers.
Seen it all.
The day we moved to IP telephony was a joy.
