I remember when Three Mile Island had it's meltdown. I was working in radio at the time, and was getting hourly updates on it across the teletype machine. Between the Three Mile Island incident, nuclear war fears in the Cold War environment, and disposal of nuclear waste from other nuclear plants that weren't melting down, folks turned pretty hard against all things nuclear.
Flash forward 50 years, and now cow farts are suddenly an existential threat to Earth, and suddenly the threat of nuclear annihilation doesn't look so scary when compared against the devastations wrought by cow farts.
My, how the times do change!
I'm more concerned by the comment that M$ is working AI into it's entire product line. Is your Windows computer now going to AI-spy on you, too? It's not enough that M$ has built an entire operating system as spyware, but now they are going to automate that "intelligently"?
"All your datas are belong to us".
Furthermore, "cloud computing". There IS no "cloud" - they just mean all your stuff is on other people's computers, and is defacto owned by someone else, because they, not you, have control and possession of it.
"All your datas are belong to us".
Welcome to the Brave New World.
