We are a financial engineering company that uses M&A and labor arbitrage to make most of the money. Innovation is completely dead. [21:01] schestowitz[TR2] Quantum is always 20 years ahead. It was 20 years in the future 20 years ago. IBM has a poor track record of making money from true innovation like this which is why they prefer to game the profit. It is easier. [21:01] schestowitz[TR2] IBM Watson Health was a genius idea - but poorly executed. Instead of learning from our mistakes and doing it right like Apple did with the Newton which evolved into the iPhone, we bailed - right before AI got really really big. The stupidity of the timing tells you how clueless leadership was. [21:01] schestowitz[TR2] Blockchain is another huge loss. Less said the better. [21:01] schestowitz[TR2] IBM doubled on design but then handcuffed the designers. Another great idea that became a core expertise but they just bailed and the design program was effectively dissolved. [21:01] schestowitz[TR2] Watsonx is not a successful product. It is not a contender. Granite is mediocre at best and we never captured the market with it. [21:01] schestowitz[TR2] Watson on Jeopardy and Deep Blue made me so proud in the days before IBM betrayed me. But they never became real products. They evolved into solutions we could not give away for free. [21:01] schestowitz[TR2] The reason IBM is being forgotten isn't because it serves the enterprise but because the company doesn't innovate. It fires the innovators and hires losers. It makes most of its money through buying companies, stealing the IP and replacing the employees with cheap labor. IBM is a corporate pirate or if you will, a corporate vampire. It consumes without contributing. [21:01] schestowitz[TR2] Wait, was that racist to vampires? I apologize in advice to the negativity spoken about the undead. And to pirates. Them too." [21:02] schestowitz[TR2] "hey pirates are good people who make hard decisions. They don't delight in pillage and mu---r; they make the tough choices about ra-e and theft. Stop judging. [21:02] schestowitz[TR2] And vampires just want to survive. Sure, they drink the blood of the innocent but they are fathers and mothers to other vampires, even cute baby vampires. So mean of you; think of them before you attack their behavior." [21:04] admfubar mincer, no it can blow up stars, like bobby the talking bomb from "dark star" [21:04] MinceR lol [21:07] Goblin sorry - its only partially related to the conversation here, but I've wanted to mention this - the Deathstar from Starwars was the most useless weapon. If its agreed that ships travel faster than light in the starwars universe then all you would need to do would be to fly any ship into a planet at the speed of light and it would take out the planet. [21:08] Goblin Infact I think in the recent movies they did just that - to take out a star destroyer... [21:13] MinceR :> [21:13] MinceR they seemed to generally treat this scenario as being dangerous for the ship but not for the planet [21:17] Goblin you could remote control the ship into the planet....I believe a pin travelling the speed of light could wipe out a planet. [21:26] admfubar my pet peeve with all sci-fi shows is artificial gravity. It magically stops at the ships hull. imagine suddenly parking an earth gravity field emitting object in orbit around earth... [21:28] MinceR i think star wars ignores plenty of physics [21:29] MinceR it was described as 'space fantasy' [21:30] Goblin :) also, surely if I take a ufo out of area 51 for a weekend in Las Vegas, as soon as my anti-gravity drive is engaged the earth will shoot off away from me as I'll no longer be part of the earth under its gravitation influence...or have I got that wrong? [21:35] MinceR i suppose it might depend on a couple of things [21:35] MinceR your location relative to how the earth rotates and orbits the Sun [21:36] MinceR but in any case, an 'anti-gravity drive' could do things other than entirely negate gravity [21:36] Goblin Bob Lazar probably knows ;) ● May 06 [22:04] MinceR https://crzysdrs.net/dv/victim/429-everything-i-ever-needed-to-know-about-summer-camp-i-learned-from-duke-nukem/ [22:04] TR Bot Daily Victim Archive [22:11] TR News (NEW): Mesa 26.1 Open-Source Graphics Stack Officially Released, Heres Whats New https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Mesa_26_1_Open_Source_Graphics_Stack_Officially_Released_Here_s.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Mesa_26_1_Open_Source_Graphics_Stack_Officially_Released_Here_s.gmi [22:11] TR Bot Tux Machines Mesa 26.1 Open-Source Graphics Stack Officially Released, Heres Whats New [22:21] admfubar eeewwww!... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/06/uk-territory-gibraltar-dumps-raw-sewage-mediterranean [22:21] TR Bot Gibraltar dumping all of its raw sewage into Mediterranean | Gibraltar | The Guardian [22:33] admfubar yeah sure they will... https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/06/chrome-on-android-now-supports-approximate-instead-of-precise-location-sharing/ [22:33] TR Bot on Android now supports approximate instead of precise location sharing | TechCrunch [22:35] admfubar https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/06/some-kids-are-bypassing-age-verification-checks-with-a-fake-mustache/ [22:35] TR Bot kids are bypassing age-verification checks with a fake mustache | TechCrunch [22:36] *psydroid3 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.2.6 Quasar http://www.kvirc.net/) [22:48] admfubar https://thenewstack.io/ai-agents-credential-crisis/ [22:48] TR Bot How a Cursor AI agent wiped PocketOS's production database in under 10 seconds - The New Stack [22:57] admfubar https://thedebrief.org/fusion-breakthrough-magnetizing-plasmas-with-high-powered-lasers-paves-the-way-toward-direct-drive-fusion/ [22:57] TR Bot Fusion Breakthrough?
