    😂😂 About 5:00 talks about "SQL being generated in minutes" and exactly a min later around 6:00 says "I haven't tested it but it is reliable for relatively simple SQL" ROFL That is called BI not AI. Business Intelligence. Then COBOL converted to Java? Excuse me? Give it a huge enough payload like COBOL program worth 3mil lines of code then it not only chokes but pukes 😂😂 Please do some homework before shoving this AI mess down IT managers throat 😅

    You talk about the snake eating its tail - my wife firmly believes that recruitment is already in this position, where applicants are using AI to generate CVs and cover letters and recruiters are using AI to sift through them, so humans aren't really involved in the process any more. It certainly makes actually getting past that initial sift stage a lot more challenging...

    05:02 - This use case tells me he never worked in IT. Non-technical members of a business, generally, aren't that inquisitive about technology. A more likely scenario I envision is, non-technical person complains to chatGPT that their app isn't doing what they want, then asks chatGPT to fix the problem. chatGPT will give a bogus answer, as any human would do given such little contex about a database problem. Then said non-technical person will report to anyone in ear shot that AI is a sham and waste of time.

    Smaller models are getting as good as the trillion parameter models. ChatGPT 4o-mini is better by a considerable margin than ChatGPT 4, so it’s not the case that advances are only coming through increases in parameters. Add to that the development of AI specific chips, like Groq’s LPU, so more and more companies will be producing ASICs which are build specifically for transformers, bringing the capabilities of frontier models, into phones and PCs,and once that happens agent frameworks, like Jim Fan’s Voyager MineCraft framework, will be able to rapidly adapt intelligently to many different scenarios and environments, so LLMs will break out of the niche areas. Things are only just getting started it like the web in 1995, when people couldn’t see it as much more than a novelty. But,yes, there will be a bubble that will burst,but this stuff is real and will make a huge difference to our lives.

    We need universal standards for deploying changes that touch the kernel. And never deploy on a Friday. Internal culture failure.

    Space X and Tesla were completely unaffected. Elon Musk steadfastly refused to do business with CrowdStrike, even though it is in his preferred city of Austin. So, companies with DEI departments should absolutely love CrowdStrike! After all, they must support their fellow DEI hires in all that they destroy.

    No worries about cyber attacks when rampant capitalism will simply move to destroy itself, why? Ha because it's more cost effective lol, and a bit more sinister when contracts are awarded exclusively to Israeli firms in cooperation with state agencies that enjoy freely accessing systems globally whenever they like, save for Russia which was unaffected...

    Hang on a second, let's roll back right to the start, why is something like CrowdStrike even required? Is it because the world's most used O.S. is simply not secure enough for corporate/industrial/critical work? If it's so important, why only roughly half of the fortune 500 companies are using it? Are the other 50% completely at risk? I doubt it very much. Is CrowdStrike simply snake oil and it just became popular because one or two big companies somehow started using it and the others felt like they had to keep up with the Jones's to feel like big boys?

    Crowd strike implemented a scheme similar to other cyber security software vendors but that doesn't make it right These cybersecurity software applications are overprivileged on the operating system operating at a kernel level... Extremely dangerous and it is malpractice to have allowed them to be installed on all these systems or any similar cybersecurity software; this stuff needs to be isolated

    All I can say is test your product to destruction, I suspect Cloudstrike don't test at an acceptable level and believe that shortcuts they made in the past testing will be OK to use today. Cloudstrike claims it's not a security issue but is wrong because that will be judged by their customer base, who'll see it as a security issue due to their systems becoming inoperable. Anything that causes a company to lose money is a security issue.

    Interesting show. However, I would like to point out that this only impacted companies using CS, not regular home users unless you are using CS. The issue was CS was also installed on Windows Server OS. Also, there was a CS issue with Linux in the past. The issue was bad or not enough testing by CS. Now the bigger question is, was this a test for something to come?? Thanks for the show

    If you have a server, run a server OS. Which would be Linux. If you run the XBox OS on it, it's not a server, it's a game console.
