Technology Upgrades Are Not Enough: Why People, Training, and Mentorship Matter More 

In an era where AI, automation, and digital transformation dominate business conversations, organizations are rushing to upgrade their technology. But here’s the hard truth: Technology alone doesn’t guarantee success. It’s the people using it that determine whether an upgrade is a game-changer or just another expensive, underutilized tool.  A recent white paper on AI transformation highlights…

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

i tend to be kind of defensive of staff because like... i'm a software dev, i know how absurdly expensive and complex a web service of this size is. plus they're looking at the site on the scale of tens of millions of users, whereas my sample of a couple hundred at most is not nearly representative. plus i'm really grateful that they've kept tumblr friendly to 3rd-party developers (i.e., xkit rewritten, tumblr api)

but i think many of the changes over the past few months have seriously damaged user trust and that's an extremely serious problem that needs to be corrected

anyways, submit your feedback to staff here. please keep in mind that these changes are almost certainly coming from the top, not whoever will be reading your comments or doing the actual programming

okay i could talk about canadian nationalism all day but i think it's so fucked that people are suggesting people visit canada rather than the US if they're scared of ICE. the border security is WORSE here, they just don't have ICE... like you will simply get turned away at the border and deported or put in migrant detention.

i find the common implication that Google of all companies wasn't already using up a ton of water and energy before its implementation of AI annoying but it is true that the AI results feature is bad and useless and therefore an extra waste of water and energy for no practical purpose. i would have no problem with posts that just say that instead of bizarrely wording it like "well google USED to be fine but NOW thanks to AI it uses a million billion tons of water"

honestly the fact that procreate is apparently working on a destop application is pretty sweet, its def understandable how it became like a workhorse for a lot of people, its super lightweight and can still do a lot of stuff, even if it's ui is extremely minimal and takes some learning. I hope it'll be good n work on windows tbh

I’ll admit until recently I didn’t catch the game’s implication at all that the engrams Alt takes would be somehow destroyed or automatically merged into Alt? I just don’t understand the technical requirement in that. However, that does also make me wonder about the relic prototype, which has to be in some sort of stable environment? Which to me just smelled of plot device to get it into V’s head, but now I’m wondering if you can consider the relic to be alive, and if it requires some sort of external stimulus, some sort of companion device for I/O, and I’m also wondering if that means Johnny was dreaming in there.

I thought that being pirate themed Sol! Omega could be obsessed with treasure hunting as to conquer all the treasures before Captain Whiskers.

But treasure hunting is more Rouge's thing, what means then that should be left for Sol!Rouge...

Oooooooooor, this could be a shared interest of both Sol!Rouge and Sol! Omega

Oooooooooor Sol!Rouge could be more of an explorer/wanderer/traveler, more interested in seeing nature than finding treasures

Anon I am kissing you on the forehead.

Changing around the interests of Sol Rouge and Omega 100% works for me, as I don't want them being carbon copies of their chaos dimension counterparts. Blaze and Rime aren't exactly the same as Sonic and Shadow after all! So a treasure hunting robot? Who's decided actually, I want to keep this hard earned treasure for MYSELF rather than give it to Captain Whisker? Perfect. Incredible. I love it. That's got the same chaotic neutral vibes as Omega, but not necessarily centred around destruction.

Sol Rouge being an explorer also slots in perfectly with the vague idea I had of him being the one to wake Rime up rather than Eggman Nega - sort of merging the two times Shadow got woken (first by Eggman and second by Rouge). So he could have found her while exploring! Finding treasure can be another interest of his, as if you're exploring a new area you're bound to find something! So that definitely could be a shared interest. Being an explorer also means Sol Rouge would probably get along well with Marine, and could take her along on adventures :]

idk if people on tumblr know about this but a cybersecurity software called crowdstrike just did what is probably the single biggest fuck up in any sector in the past 10 years. it's monumentally bad. literally the most horror-inducing nightmare scenario for a tech company.

some info, crowdstrike is essentially an antivirus software for enterprises. which means normal laypeople cant really get it, they're for businesses and organisations and important stuff.

so, on a friday evening (it of course wasnt friday everywhere but it was friday evening in oceania which is where it first started causing damage due to europe and na being asleep), crowdstrike pushed out an update to their windows users that caused a bug.

before i get into what the bug is, know that friday evening is the worst possible time to do this because people are going home. the weekend is starting. offices dont have people in them. this is just one of many perfectly placed failures in the rube goldburg machine of crowdstrike. there's a reason friday is called 'dont push to live friday' or more to the point 'dont fuck it up friday'

so, at 3pm at friday, an update comes rolling into crowdstrike users which is automatically implemented. this update immediately causes the computer to blue screen of death. very very bad. but it's not simply a 'you need to restart' crash, because the computer then gets stuck into a boot loop.

this is the worst possible thing because, in a boot loop state, a computer is never really able to get to a point where it can do anything. like download a fix. so there is nothing crowdstrike can do to remedy this death update anymore. it is now left to the end users.

it was pretty quickly identified what the problem was. you had to boot it in safe mode, and a very small file needed to be deleted. or you could just rename crowdstrike to something else so windows never attempts to use it.

it's a fairly easy fix in the grand scheme of things, but the issue is that it is effecting enterprises. which can have a looooot of computers. in many different locations. so an IT person would need to manually fix hundreds of computers, sometimes in whole other cities and perhaps even other countries if theyre big enough.

another fuck up crowdstrike did was they did not stagger the update, so they could catch any mistakes before they wrecked havoc. (and also how how HOW do you not catch this before deploying it. this isn't a code oopsie this is a complete failure of quality ensurance that probably permeates the whole company to not realise their update was an instant kill). they rolled it out to everyone of their clients in the world at the same time.

and this seems pretty hilarious on the surface. i was havin a good chuckle as eftpos went down in the store i was working at, chaos was definitely ensuring lmao. im in aus, and banking was literally down nationwide.

but then you start hearing about the entire country's planes being grounded because the airport's computers are bricked. and hospitals having no computers anymore. emergency call centres crashing. and you realised that, wow. crowdstrike just killed people probably. this is literally the worst thing possible for a company like this to do.

crowdstrike was kinda on the come up too, they were starting to become a big name in the tech world as a new face. but that has definitely vanished now. to fuck up at this many places, is almost extremely impressive. its hard to even think of a comparable fuckup.

a friday evening simultaneous rollout boot loop is a phrase that haunts IT people in their darkest hours. it's the monster that drags people down into the swamp. it's the big bag in the horror movie. it's the end of the road. and for crowdstrike, that reaper of souls just knocked on their doorstep.

Finally looked up what Severance is about since it is appearing on my dash more and the fact it is about corporate "classified" work as opposed to actual government feels very accurate.
