    Let me guess.

    A bunch of kids who have never seen COBOL before use AI to rewrite it all into a language they also can’t read, do the bare minimum of checks, and then run millions of payments through it.

    This from the genius bar whose hard drive “overheated” when they ran a query on 60,000 records.

      Ugh that overheated shit pisses me off. Everyone decided they can just make up whatever they want and there will be no repercussions for flat out intentional lies. So annoying.

      It does sound a bit like creating plausible deniability for some sketchy transactions later on.

        Hahaha, good point. On the other hand, “cheap” depends on the perspective. From Musk’s it’s an incredibly cheap way to get a big payoff…huge ROI!

    He’s going about it all wrong. Make the new system run parallel to the old system, THEN take the old system down. This is being done wrong on purpose.

    Musk remains true to his Disney villain character and I stand by my previous wish for his fate to be:

    …eaten by hyenas. Preferably hyenas he had recently betrayed to save his own skin.

    At the rate were going were going to get the bad ending which is:

    …Chinese bombers over Washington blotting out the sun.

    Hopefully, when it’s all broken and nobody’s getting their social security payments, maybe some of them will wake up.

    I would bet that there will be an “accidental” bug in the code that deletes every single Social Security account.

    For my Americans across the pond, I ask earnestly:

    What could Russia do today that would cement themselves as an unparalleled oligarchy where just a few people control everything with no regard for anybody else in their country, that the US isn’t already doing?
