Also, I’ve tried to find any reliable sources for this story at previous occasions, and it seems like it’s fully made up. The working conditions have reportedly been abyssmal which is likely the origin of the story, but that specific story is not real.
It aligns with that the US and Israel are terrorist states. Aiming for targets which spreads the most fear and despair seems to be a part of their plan. Making parents reluctant to send their kids to school is an efficient way of imobolizing people.
It’s an illegal war in the first place, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a continuous stream of war crimes going forward.
The integration of AI into regular, deterministic software bothers me a lot. As a developer, I want my IDE to be consistent so I can feel comfortable that autocompletion and other functions do what I expect. But recently, and at an accelerating rate, I find the IDE to make inconsistent autocompletions - often suggesting a lot more code, which often contains errors and non-existant references.
I could use AI every now and then for work, but I wish it only helped when I’m explicit about it. Currently, it kills workflow and sucks out energy both from me and the grid.
