I asked #Grok: "What are the chances of success for Elon Musk's / DOGE's plan of rewriting (in two month's time) the SSA's COBOL codebase using AI?"

"[…] the chances of success […] are extremely low, likely in the single-digit percentage range (e.g., 5-10% at best).
This estimate assumes DOGE has exceptional resources and AI capabilities beyond what’s publicly known […] The stakes are high, and the margin for error is razor-thin."

I’m still pissed at Elon for two things:

1) making me learn how to spell Mastodon
2) that he didn’t buy and ruin LinkedIn instead

"Apple’s AI isn’t a letdown. AI is the letdown"

Even CNN is slowly starting to get it.

How to out compete any major tech vendor right now: work in the same space as their core products - but just don't put anything AI in the product.

They're all so distracting tickling their own bollocks with AI right now they've completely lost focus on their core products and real customer needs.

The prior (more than a year old by this point) CISA Cybersecurity Advisory minces words a bit less than the recent MAR.

The ICT (internal or external) may not detect compromise. The threat actor may retain persistence after "factory reset".

@gpowerf 😮 What on earth did AI tell you?

Dear US: no, do one.

Cowardice is a brand, too. https://www.ft.com/content/8d3e4dba-1246-482d-9aaa-d970d2cb0a94
