Exactly, nobody is investing in their to-be seniors and dev culture.

Expecting ai-slop to make the difference is a fairy tale told to investors and board members.

I am not against any of our new devs (or myself, a longtime dev) using ai generated code but I expect them to understand it so they can fix it and build their skillsets. I tell them that renting their dev skills from a machine will do them no favors.

Oh totally.

I’m on the us west coast and the national news (think USA today, cnn, fau, etc.) is all “there is smoky weather over there or smthn, anyway here is a monkey dancing” each summer (local news is covering the smoke obviously)

BUT as soon as it started drifting eastward and reached Nyc/DC then the news lit up with it about climate change/hazardous conditions.

Funny how that happens

I absolutely cannot wait for kids to learn about “vegetative electron microscopy”

AI absolutely cannot replace teachers.

Augment possibly but replace? No.

By augment I mean provide some help at the direction of the teacher.

“Learnings”

Yes its an old word and was repopularized by Borat of all things.

Ugh. Just say lessons or something. Leanings just sounds … wrong.

Exactly - they can’t use Russia’s military strength as the boogie-man any longer.

Boeing (just one example) has been pushing for lower or self regulation for a while.

That was part of what led to the 737-MAX issue:

Airlines concerned for safety will be moving away from Boeing if the deregulation continues.

The libertarian BS is going to set America back a century - in many respects.
