Right... because we know the full well that the press pool is conservative and unbiased. :lol:

Even with the qualifiers above, it's still a HUGE BOOST to productivity and quality in the right people's hands. Room for lots of error? Sure. Is that going to stop people? No. Will it be the end of all humanity? I doubt it. Maybe that's the fear?
It can be in the right hands as you said. I'll give you a couple examples of things I find a bit concerning when it comes to AI.
A couple weeks ago on this very board, someone mentioned that a junior programmer (junior to them, not junior as in 1 or 2 years in the business) said he needed a couple extra days of code review before he would feel comfortable releasing the code. The poster's alleged response to that was to use Claude to write the project and then send the code to the junior developer. And he talked about it like it was a good thing that he handled the situation like that. That's an outright dick move and slap to the face of someone that is legitimately trying to do something without just relying the "magic answer box". I personally think something like that sets a horrible precedent and sends the wrong message.
Another one I heard was about a kid fresh out of college going in for his first interview. The interviewer asked the question "How comfortable are you with IDE's and working in a team setting within an IDE?" The kid's response was "I don't know what IDE even stands for, but give me Claude and I bet you'd be amazed by what I can do." The kid probably thought he nailed that answer, but I would have actually found a way to move onto the next candidate with an answer like that.

I am a software engineer and now IT Manager that has been in the field about 25 years. I am an outspoken AI skeptic. I have myself found some legitimate use cases for AI, but I think it should be a tool, not THE tool. I do worry about people becoming too reliant on AI and neglecting their own growth and development because of it. I also don't feel a non-technical person that cannot easily recognize a hallucination, when being led down the wrong rabbit hole, or cannot independently verify AI results should be allowed to use and/or publish AI output.

People often associate federal prison with club feds, but the worst of federal prisons actually are worse than the worst state facilities.
That's largely if you're at a camp or a low level fed prison. Even then, you're still in a prison and can still get caught up in trouble. Medium and above security often have a "no hands" policy in the feds. That is if you have a beef with someone that you want to address, you either have to stab them, or you just let it go.
The way some people view him as a folk hero of sorts says alot about certain pockets of modern society.
Slow news day? :lol:

Yea - he seems way out of his depth. I am not sure who convinced him that his very first major move as CEO should be to try to bully competition through legal means.
I hear there's a really good one called Grindr.
re: BYU guy says Saints wasted Taysom

I don't think he should have been forced into the starting role. However, I think Taysom was a bit misused in that he should have passed the ball a bit more. Teams nearly always sold out for him running. Mixing in a few more passes would have made him even more dangerous.
Book of Shadows is awesome as is his Pride and Glory work.
It's not the same thing. A calculator is deterministic and mostly serves as a tool to assist some process. AI is not deterministic and is actually performing the process, not assisting it. Critical thinking and overall deep process understanding will be lost at some point if everything just comes out of the magic answer box.
I have found some great use cases for AI myself and don't feel I am an AI doubter. I just feel that when it becomes the tool instead of a tool to assist, it crosses into territory that could be detrimental to employee development.

I had a similar experience today when a junior level guy was talking on a call about code he was working on and said he needed a few more days. Before the call was over I handed him complete code and docs using my $20 month account
Great way to kill his confidence and teach him the wrong way to go about things IMO. He's actively trying to learn as a junior and you're telling him "nahhh... just use the magic answer box."
A time of rampant stupidity laid bare that I'd prefer to forget. :lol:
I think it was a TD poster that helped take down Brandon Scott Lavergne a few days after he killed Mickey Shunick. BSL was dating his sister at the time.
