Gestern: KI generierte Hausaufgaben erzeugen Brain Rot
Heute: KI generierte Professoren unterrichten Business
Was kann da schon schief gehen?
Wir könnten das gesamte Management durch Bots ersetzen. Und die Regierung.
Böse Zungen behaupten, das letzter wäre schon geschehen. Vielleicht das Empathie Modul nachrüsten?

187 064 инструкции ради одного флага: Разбор HTB Callfuscated (Insane)
Что делать, если статический анализ crackme выдает 187 064 инструкции мусорного кода? Идти в динамику! В этой статье разбираем таск Callfuscated с HTB: пишем свой ptrace-трассировщик, создаем валидируемый x86-64 эмулятор на Python, снимаем дампы памяти и сводим сложную VM-обфускацию к арифметике первого курса.

Sometimes it's as simple as the purchasing agent thinking "It's easier for me to order all these products from one brand rather than buying them from their specialty manufacturers".
This is "death by MBA". It's a slow process. They will keep making these kinds of changes, and each one drives a few of their traditional customers away, maybe bringing in a few new ones. And it doesn't necessarily end up with chains on the doors and a sheriff's sale. Princess Auto might live on indefinitely, but change to resemble Canadian Tire [2] - and you won't be able to go there to get the stuff you just can't get at big consumer retail chains, like that inexpensive gas-powered hydraulic power unit, or a replacement engine for a piece of garden equipment, or that weird tool.
And the prices go up, while you start seeing commercials for them on TV. And the quality of the products goes down, in direct proportion to the recognizability of the brand names that show up.
It does eventually kill a lot of companies, but MBA disease takes a long time to metastasize, like in the story of the family clothing chain that ends up selling nothing but women's lingerie before they go out of business.
I hope they can correct course, but I'm not hopeful. Once a company gets MBAs, you can't get rid of them. It's like roaches.

Want to see the death of a large Canadian #retailer in slow-motion?
Princess Auto. [1] It's dying of #MBA disease.
I don't go there as often as I used to. I wasn't sure why, exactly - it's a great place if you want to pick up some weird #tool you'll use once a year and you don't want to drop the big bucks on a name-brand, and you're okay putting up with it being a little less #skookum or awkward to use.
I was there recently, though, and the reason clicked. It's turning into Generic Big Retailer. People like Princess Auto because it's not like other retailers that might carry many of the same items, like Canadian Tire.
Among other things, I was there to get a can of electrical contact cleaner and some spray lubricants. And when I got to that aisle, I found -- virtually all of the products were "WD-40" brand. Contact cleaner, rust penetrating lubricant, white lithium grease -- all from WD-40.
This isn't a good thing, and it isn't what professionals and serious amateurs want. If you go to a mechanic or a machinist or some other skilled pro, you'll find all this stuff in their shop supplies, but they'll all be from different brands, and if you're not in the business, you won't have ever heard of them before.

[1] For USAnians, it's something like Harbour Freight, but with more big-iron stuff for farmers and whatnot.

Что если причина, по которой не растут продажи, находится совсем не там, где вы ищете?
Почему Фрейд и квантовая механика объясняют бизнес-решения лучше, чем большинство MBA-курсов Я пришла в психоанализ из топ-менеджмента в IT. Последние 4 года я развиваюсь в психоанализе: как в частной практике, так и в B2B. Я практик до мозга костей и поэтому все получаемые знания сразу переношу на понятные мне бизнес-структуры. И чем дольше я работаю на стыке этих двух миров, тем отчётливее вижу одно и то же: когда бизнес буксует, он ищет причину не там . И причина лежит не в стратегии, не в рынке, не в конкурентах.

Firefox has long been the most resource-efficient browser I've seen. I can have a ton of tabs open in multiple windows (on Linux) and it used to only get the main process to a few gigabytes of address space and a gig or less resident in memory. When not actively using it, CPU usage was moderate, with the main process using between nothing and 20 or 30%. It was fast and responsive.
And now, it's jerky as hell.
The main process has allocated 16 GB and the resident size is varying between 2 and 3 GB. It'll go down, and then suddenly another 300-500 MB of memory is resident, while the browser is doing basically nothing. CPU varies from 25 to 150+%.
Killing off some of the sandbox processes, the ones that are taking 100+% CPU, helps a little, for a bit, but it keeps getting worse.
We all knew they were dropping their focus on the important stuff by focusing on "AI" bullshit, and this is the result. It'll end up driving me to Vivaldi [1] if it doesn't improve.
[1] Or servo, if it becomes a usable daily driver.

Capitalism, in theory, is great. #Capitalism, as currently practiced, doesn't work very well.
Many years ago I read Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" [1]. If you don't understand #economics but want to, it's the second book I recommend you read [2] to get there. He describes how all the parts of the system work together, what influences other actors in the system, how it incorporates diverse feedback, and more.
What we actually have today, though, only approximates what Smith describes. There's too many things gummed up with collusion and political and regulatory capture and a bunch of other things, so our #economies don't run very well.
Illustration:
Sears lasted longer in Canada than it did in the USA, but it still failed. At some point, #Sears #Canada shuttered its retail operations while it tried to figure out what to do. There was a large Sears warehouse in my city, visible from a busy freeway.
So the company had no #revenue, but ongoing #expenses - like property #taxes. Some bright spark #MBA realized unimproved real estate was taxed at lower rates than buildings, so they tore the warehouse down, razed it.
It was still completely full of #merchandise at the time. I watched it. Too much trouble to sell or give away, so off to the dump.
Then Sears went bankrupt, somebody bought the land, and built a warehouse on it.
[1] As was common then, its full title is ridiculously long.
[2] The first, much easier read is Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson". -
🎩🤡: When the data you depend on is as reliable as a politician's promise, the MIT Sloan #wizards have the solution: become a wizard yourself with one of their endless #MBA programs! 🔍📉 Because when numbers don't add up, it's time to swap #spreadsheets for #philosophy scrolls and hope for #magic. 🧙♂️✨

This really is brutal. I don't know if it has come to Canada yet, but "this implied-chocolate candy has very little or no cocoa in it" is really death-by-MBA.

#AI can predict your future #salary based on your #photo
In "AI Personality Extraction from Faces: Labor Market Implications," the authors describe how they used the LinkedIn facial images of over 96,000 #MBA graduates to extract subjects' Big Five personality traits – Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.
They emphasize that they don't advocate doing so because personality extraction from facial images is fundamentally discriminatory.
