Besides the usual CEO shenanigans, they really want AI to succeed, to replace usually leftist intellectuals with a far-right AI.

I too see it coming.
email/call your reps pre-emptively and say no bailouts

But is it smart enough to turn to Darwin at the silicon or the molecular hardware layer, before the AI winter is here? Because it will be fimbulwinter this time.

because everyone else already posted this 6 months ago

Why does Larry Ellison give me such crazy uncanny valley vibes?!

He turns 82 next month.

He looks like an older Vincent Price.

First time I saw him I thoughr he looked like John McAfee.

I think his gotee and hair just look like absolute shit. Further proof nobody cares about him.

It's already irrelevant in most places. If you're non-American you only heard of Oracle's Sun acquisitions like mysql, virtualbox or openjdk.

I told you not to call me on this wall. This is an unlisted wall.

They've made it so they will all fail together. They're bound. This way they can ensure a bailout, because if they don't get a bailout, they will have a significant effect on the us economy on their way down.

My last day at a dumpster fire AI slop company is next week, and I can’t wait.

So now they HAVE to double down and fund this AI infrastructure, because sunk costs dictate that they can’t admit to a bad decision and hire back the terminated employees.

Just because it’s costly doesn’t mean they aren’t going to push forward with all their might, unfortunately

I got my first computer at 15, in 2005, and even then they were very clearly bad just from my newbie experience and seeing forums posts. The word itself is so tainted for me because of them. One of the companies that "enshittified" way ahead of the curve.

JDK is the greatest scam ever.

When something needs JDK, most people usually just download the first one they find without much thought, just like with any dependency, which is Oracle's, instead of OpenJDK.

Oracle will go after companies where their employees unknowlingly installed their JDK for some minor thing, and hit them with multimillion fine for breaking their license after a while. Or at least I remember hearing they used to.

Blocking anything Oracle company-wide, especially JDK, is the first thing an IT admin should do.
