Well there is
Java == (because = is the assignment operator)
Delphi = (because := is the assignment operator)
Javascript has == AND === (I'll let someone else explain that)
Is this what they are meaning? Because other than that, 2 = 2 doesn't seem that complicated.
No it isn't becoming a big problem, it's only a big problem for mathematicians who don't operate in the real world.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

While Windows 11’s Paint Creator uses Microsoft’s cloud to generate AI images based on your prompts, Paint Cocreator turns your drawing/outline into an AI masterpiece locally, thanks to NPU. Or to put it another way: another feature you won't be using

I can't even figure out how to use the Paint 3D app, and now this!
The difficult we do right away...

What does Brad Smith contribute to cybersecurity I wonder.

In a new paper published in the journal Ethics and Information Technology, a trio of philosophy researchers from the University of Glasgow in Scotland argue that referring to chatbot's propensity to make crap up shouldn't be referred to as "hallucinations," because it's actually something much less flattering.

Businesses have become more cautious about investing in artificial intelligence tools due to concerns about cost, data security, and safety, according to a study conducted by Lucidworks, a provider of e-commerce search and customer service applications. Magic AI isn't magic?

This is entirely out of character for them. I thought they always dive in head first, spend a pile of money, and then worry about potential fall out (cost, security, etc.) later. Microsoft's antics with the "Recall" debacle is an example of this.
