I absolutely love Dr Carson.

High IQ, competent, calm. He's a good one to have on the team.

These news organizations do NOT exist to make money. They continue to exist in order to put "fact" into record.

Trust me, some shitty headline or clip about Trump is put out, likely partially or completely fabricated, but now it's on a primary source that everyone can clip and post to social media.

Please stop assuming these are for profit businesses, they are owned by the US govt. Mockingbird media.

Yeah I dig it, I have a few from a few states. Just wouldn't use it as a large store of gold is all.

I have several, but my issue is they aren't pure gold so if SHTF you have an interesting item. Not necessarily a problem, I just prefer pure stuff.

AI sucks....these were basically stills with a lot of artistic asthetic over them.

It may get real good one day, but the last 10% of perfection will take a while. If you doubt me, where are the self driving cars? They have been 90-99 percent there for a decade. That last bit to perfect it is the killer.

fair point...seems this is a bigger scandal if true to be honest. it's wild to think they'd be that stupid. but fair point.

might as well be, AI is almost as much smoke and mirrors. It needs to be renamed, it's not intelligent.

I agree with you on all points. I just can't see a reason to use MSFT and Azure to do something special for AI. You can do it all and more on prem...worst case, run the model training on a distributed environment like public cloud, then pull it all in house for utilizing said models.

While it takes a lot of hardware, it's not like it takes Azure-scale datacenters to support DSP and Audio AI. Video and further might take more, but it's not at that scale.

Hillary didn't host her email on some large-scale enterprise exchange infrastructure...it was a server.

Same thing would be expected here.

That's not true. It requires a lot of compute to TRAIN a model. And even then many companies use local compute for this stage.

I do AI and ML services for a major integrator. Msft infra in azure for AI is nothing special.

They are big into it, but so is everyone.

Fellow IT pede here, always good to know the whitehats:)

Ok, even so, this whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense to me. AI does not need to be in a public cloud, why would they risk that? Only reason I can think is they can't find someone to run some GPUs privately, which seems not correct.

It wasn't a Microsoft problem aside from it affected their products. Like bad gas in a new car...

One of the few NC politicians I am proud of.

Can't wait for Cooper to vacate for this man.

Are they the largest shareholders of many companies? I understand them to own 3 to 5 percent on the high end.

It's not being dumb. The leaders are funded by NGOs and interest groups who tell them what to do. Then the constituents are beat over the head with "be kind, don't be racist"

They are taking advantage of people at mass scale. It's not IQ as much as it is propaganda acceptance.

Ever seen an abused spouse stick up for their abuser? Same stuff here.
