Word is that Anthropic Claude has successfully hacked Oracle DB, Internet Explorer and Outlook codes with ease. Dinosaur Bones are vulnerable.

Corporate Messaging to start by end of the week.

It's a perfect example of what's wrong with Apple, all they do is make these worthless cosmetic changes ( like this stupid liquid glass cr-p that makes it hard to read the screen) that add zero value or functionality for the user, all iOS 26 does is drain the battery faster. Time to switch to android.

As of April 2026, Oracle finalized a $16.3 billion financing deal for its massive data center campus in Saline Township, Michigan. This transaction is widely recognized as the largest single-facility technology debt package in history.

The way things are going right now, there are directors pushing people to adopt new tech, then telling them they can't use for what they were telling them to use it for, because it presents major security risks. Yet people already did.

These bad decisions will just compound the longer this goes on. We're sinking. Fast.

I accomplished something today in about 20 minutes with my manager using Copilot a project that would have taken the India team 11 hours to accomplish. 1 hour to explain. 6 hours to read the document and do the work. Another hour to re-explain what I wanted because they did it wrong, and then another 3 hours to finish the project.

The co-pilot answer was structured, tabular, concise, without excessive use of passive voice that makes my brain hurt.

Definitely the future

Can AI fix walgreens systems without a human?

A new study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York indicates AI will reshape jobs rather than eliminate them immediately. The report suggests AI will augment more roles than it replaces in the near term. White-collar occupations, including finance and technology, are most exposed to AI tools. This technology is expected to boost productivity without a proportional increase in hiring. However, long-term effects on employment and wages remain uncertain.

I want to see what people on this board think about the impact of AI on our industry or specific roles/teams. I know that things are already happening and that there is no going back, it's not looking good. But I also thing that the impact is not going to be linear and that some parts will be affected more than others. What do you think and are you seeing it already. I am in Finance/planning so impacts have been limited so far but I can see situations where some of the low level work is completely done with AI.

Why is it above 60s now ?

Curious if anyone’s been getting logged out daily. Thinking it has something to do with tracking for RTO

Can Mac users actually expect it to change any further?

Nvidia has reportedly spent more than a year exploring a deal for a large PC-focused company that it believes could reshape the PC and Server landscape!

Just saw this on Wells Fargo's board, it's coming our way too:

• Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs
  Agentic engineering as a standard
  Link: @OP+1kmzq8d4n

  We all knew that something like this will surface sooner or later. Now all engineers are expected to go full agentic starting right this second ( according to the communication). They even drafted a roadmap of how they envision this would take place. What are your thoughts about this move? I guess, this is mainly will affect technology but looks like some businesses will be included in this madness as well.

AMD says it will buy Intel, completing the strangest reversal in chip history

https://www.techspot.com/news/111906-amd-buy-intel-completing-strangest-reversal-chip-history.html

but our technology is still in the 80s. Forms that require standard text fields with predetermined values, which the user needs to spell out, and a highly paid analyst or manager has to manually reject for typos. No drop down, no back end data validation, no autocomplete.

BUT USE AI. lol. Because we bought Microsoft bonds, Charlie is on the board, and we are spending billions on CoPilot to keep them afloat. Or something.

How about we just spend the billions bringing our technology later into the 20th century.

Thinking about putting in for it and just wondering what the craic is really

Has anyone told Sarah that we are about 25 years behind in terms of technology? It’s actually embarrassing, yet her town hall she emphasized the need for us to be immersed in data. Why can’t anyone close to her tell her the truth?

if you look at tgs, all sr dirs and vps are stuck in late 90s or early 2000s. our chances of building a modern and prosperous it org are zero unless we have new folks in these positions. that will never happen, so rest assured, things will continue to go downhill as the rest of the world accelerates change. at some point someone will wake up but it'll be way too late

Makes me wonder if we shouldn’t replace a lot of C-suite employees with AI.

Is this True?

To get an idea for how far behind Intel is in AI, they still employ hundreds of secretaries. These are status symbols. They are so old fashioned on the inside. The leaders don't know how to schedule Outlook or create ai agent.
