The song was written about the public suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer on January 22, 1987, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dwyer had been convicted of bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a lengthy sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Muir. Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot and killed himself with a .357 Magnum revolver during a live televised press conference.

Yea was here for that. Guy I went to HS with, was on duty that night and joined the chase. Didn't fire any shots but was on scene at the time it happened.

He testified truthfully during the trial, and wouldn't you know he had to throw away a 10+ year career because after that all the other cops hated and harassed him.

During that murder, one of the cops jumped up on the hood off the car after it was stopped and unloaded his entire magazine down straight into the people inside.

Protect and serve my ass. And of course heaven forbid if we ever hold law enforcement accountable.

Ya I agree, there was a time where Satya had a fresh outlook and instilled hope.

Now he cannot take criticism about their AI offerings and they are forcing it into everything.

Boggles my mind that Notepad has a Copilot button. Truly tone deaf.

Yea I am not saying the tools are bad. Also use Claude mostly via our internal corporate tooling to do initial generation of things like unit tests and it helps sketch and brainstorm.

I will say it is crazy the amount of trust people/companies are putting in the tools though. It can and will make up straight lies out of thin air. At least with code things don't compile which helps a bit. Even then, have been watching a few MSFT repo's and they have devs just blanket approving copilot generated PR's that have bugs and breaking changes.

The tools are great, but they aren't an excuse to be lazy. And they aren't a replacement for that last 10% like you said, still need devs and real human problem solving.

Always assume the worst, I gaurentee it is usually that bad in reality. Companies absolutely hate spending money on IT and security is always an after thought. API logs for the production systems that contain your full legal name, DOB, SSN, and home address? Yea wide open and accessible by anyone. Production databases with employee SSN, address, salary information? Same thing, look up how much the worthless management is making and cry.

Booz Allen just got shit on because of the dude they hired who specifically sought out consulting for the IRS so he could steal Trumps IRS records.

Not that different from all the innocents the US gov has murdered. We literally just watched ICE gun down two citizens in Minnesota and per usual nothing will happen or change.
