It wasn't at all. There's still a serious problem with shoplifting. Wal-mart would not be removing self-checkout if this were just a PR campaign.
At my local CVS, they just started locking up the bulk candy. You don't take the the sales hit and the expense of those locking cabinets unless you have a real shrinkage problem.

They absolutely would.
Shrink has not gone up
The National Retail Federation, which publishes those numbers yearly, has stopped publishing those numbers to hide that fact.
There are real shoplifting problems but they are extremely local. Your local police department needs to stand up and do their fucking jobs to identify and take down the organized crime perpetuating it.
I don't have Office installed, nor do a significant majority of my peers. Given that sqlite is installed by default on Macs, a sqlite file is far more portable than an Excel file.
The open weight models are nipping on the heels of frontier models. The frontier labs have to make forward progress and keep tokens cheap in order to maintain marketshare.
Eventually, we'll have a Mythos-level model running on integrated hardware on every PC.
Just like a manager, you don't need to look at the code. You need to set up quality systems to provide evidence the code does what it is supposed to do, just like a manager.
I’ve never met a manager that have setup “quality” systems to ensure that the job is done correctly. Their actions are always retroactive. And not pertaining to code at all. The overarching contract is “You do a bad job, you will be fired”.
Code review has a number of important purposes beyond merely verifying functionality. It's true that some managers don't recognize this, fail to allocate time for anything but feature work, and then wonder a few years later why the software is so buggy and new feature development is so hard.
From what I read, Atlassian has data from most of the Fortune 500. And this metadata that they are wanting to train on, is data that Anthropic can use to build software for specific verticals (like they just did with Claude Design), or simply to make things like Cowork function better using this proprietary data collected over the last 20 years.
