the security industry actually learned Negative amounts of knowledge from the 2FA/MFA rollout.
Due to the implementation of Passkey Authentication and advanced login techniques. This institution has a low success rate when attempting to connect.

according to Letterboxd, Crawdaddy is the least watched film that I've ever watched, being the 58th person to log it

to be honest it is a fun ride if you are non-mono, because you will know and hate everyone in this film!

The Gemini AI regularly gives completely baffling summarized reviews of restaurants because it focuses on unusual comments like what the bathrooms are like

So this leads to pages like this, right? "AI" is the number one key finding in 2023, but they can't show any numbers, because the data would look pathetic and marginal next to their former bread and butter best practices. And admitting that would be bad for Google!

Basically effects are small and ambiguous/contradictory. Simple model in use cannot explain them well (vs. it was sufficient for huge CI/CD impacts)

You will find this if you look hard enough but not in the top level way it's presented, because the whole thing is now just a marketing thing.
Similarly, AI positively impacts code quality, documentation, and review processes, but surprisingly, these gains do not translate to improved software delivery performance. In fact, AI adoption appears detrimental in this area, while its effect on product performance remains negligible. If an individual increases AI adoption by 25%, time spent on valuable work decreases by 2.5%

Inconsistent number formatting: "over twenty years" (spelled out) vs "over a decade" (spelled out) is consistent, but earlier version had "over 20 years" - actually this is now consistent, good improvement.

Cultural Fugue, everyone's saying it lately
"How do you know?" my employer1 asked. "Can you tell, just from the feel of the sky above you, from the lowest frequencies in the thunders' rumble?" "I can tell because the Web's report on Information Deployment for your world is open to me through GI: there's not one sign, but at least a hundred seventy-five, that would be visible if you were moving anywhere near a CF condition." "The violence, the death, the anguish on our world, not only here, but many, many other places, have been immense," my employer1 said. I said: "I know. And I don't blame you for asking. But you should know this, too: in the many, many worlds I've visited in my capacity as an Industrial Diplomat, where there was some problem that stretched from horizon to horizon, if you talk to anyone in the middle of it, among the first things they'll want to know is if their world has gone into Cultural Fugue." I smiled. "It's little consolation, I know. But horizon to horizon—which is hard to remember when you're standing on the surface—is still a very small part of a world. A whole world, that's a big place. For a world to go into Cultural Fugue—for the socioeconomic pressures to reach a point of technological recomplication and perturbation where the population completely destroys all life across the planetary surface—takes a lot of catastrophe. There are more than six thousand worlds in the Federation of Habitable Worlds. And Cultural Fugue is very rare." "Forty-nine times in the last two hundred eighty years," the human said. "And our years are a bit longer than Old Earth Standard," said the alien. "I was up on our moon only days ago," she went on, "when I heard that a world perhaps a third of the way around the galactic rim was just destroyed. There were hardly any survivors."
