DT that is, obviously not Chat.
But, I reiterate, artificial intelligence is here to stay and it’s changing the world we live in.
A new technological revolution.

Just demonstrating the power of AI, ShortWhacker, you did ask.
If you think how complex the comic examples above are, it is very impressive. So, if given real tasks such as DT’s use of AI, I think it’s a winner. In my opinion DT have the best, and sharpest, tool in the box, to boot!

So, I’ll buy more when and as I can.

It's a doddle:

ShortWhacker fears the unknown,
Thinks Big Brother's watching, on his own.
Online threats, his constant fear,
But introspection would bring him near.
Well-intentioned, but a little scared,
With awareness deep, he's surely prepared.

ShortWhacker lives in constant fear,
Online threats and hacks he holds dear.
But is Big Brother really here,
Or just his mind, clouded with fear?

He means well, his caution clear,
But a little balance, he could bear.
For all his knowledge and awareness,
A little introspection would bring awareness.

Click regenerate and it has another go, fantastic!!

Charles, a fellow with a zest,
Favours Darktrace above the rest.
Enthusiasm bubbles from his speech,
Though his evidence is sometimes out of reach.
His forum posts are a frequent sight,
Sometimes a nuisance, but always polite.

ShortWhacker,
How does CHATGPT work?

To put it simply, it's a search engine on steroids. You tell it what to do and it does it - the user's creativity makes all the difference. For example, ask it to write a poem, with some keywords and info, and the results are staggering!
Herer'sone I prepared earlier:

Charles, a jolly good fellow,
Shares his stock tips, oh so mellow.
But beware, he tends to go overboard,
On Darktrace, his words are adored.
Though forums are flooded with his voice,
We can't help but love his enthusiasm and rejoice.

‘Darktrace on Wednesday said E&Y has begun its probe. Findings will be published once complete‘

If it’s a clean bill of health, which one expects it to be, it will be tremendously helpful in restoring confidence, one would think. Anyone know how long these things take? Or is it a case of how long is a piece of string!

I think we came through that pretty well. I'm keeping my dog in the fight, hold.

Quite, CR888
...and mostly edging on negativity.

A weaker demand for electronics ....that’s new electronics.
People are belt tightening, but not necessarily going without upgrading!
From a green perspective, and the fact Apple products are hugely over priced,
schadenfreude!

We need a clean bill of health from the EY report - that, hopefully, will reassure investors.

Ultimately, we need the ML fiasco to end, a lot of prominent people want it to end too.

‘Some of Britain’s most prominent business figures have called on the prime minister to block the prospective extradition of Mike Lynch, the software tycoon, to the United States.

Entrepreneurs including Brent Hoberman, a co-founder of Lastminute.com, along with City veterans such as Lord Stevenson of Coddenham, the former chairman of Pearson and HBOS, have written to Rishi Sunak complaining about America’s “unreasonable” use of an extradition treaty.

The letter is understood also to have been signed by Sir John Rose, the former chief executive of Rolls-Royce, the aircraft engine maker, and Martina King, who used to run Yahoo’s European business.’

‘

Ahhhh, right - clear as day!

Motley are upbeat, yes I know!

All the same, at least someone is:

ShortWhacker,
Could you translate that, for us lay-readers, into plain English?

The Ernst & Young appointment was not obligatory. It wasn't necessary, but It carries weight, in my opinion, and will be the main pointer to the integrity of the company.

Not a fan of Proactive - sensationalists, same old, same old.

DT’s new customer base has risen by 741 since the end of the last fiscal year to 8,178. The rate of customer growth in percentage terms, we were told, does appear to be slowing.
One expects this blip to be belt-tightening related, but recent, and ongoing, cyber attacks will have focused minds on what should be essential. The Royal Mail cyber attack took a long time to sort out, if it has been, and cost RM dearly. One wonders if WH Smith were belt-tightening?

*EW
EY

The EY report - there was no obligation to commission it. Having done so, DT are reassuring investors. All being well, that’s good enough for me regardless of sp movement on Wednesday. The ongoing issue is ML - who rightly or wrongly will be a dark cloud over DT until the matter is cleared up.
That said, the EW report ought to carry significant weight. So why isn’t it good enough for David Vignon, vice-president equity research at Stifel, who said a review was not enough to reassure investors?

Any thoughts?

That clinging to a 'hope and a prayer' smacks of a sore losing run, or an ulterior motive, Trickytree55. If you entered the doorway simply to hope for the house to be knocked down you may well be disappointed.
For you too, If you have such little confidence in the current leader you could always sell up and return post-2026. It would probably do you a world of good, but don't expect to re-enter at sub £1.
