Pom in Oz, I stare at firewall logs for a living. Recently promoted to senior tech, still don't know what I'm doing so faking it until I make it. Outside of work: computer games, scuba diving, martial arts and natural movement.
AI rapidly increases speed of the first 90% of software development. But still, you’ll have to do the remaining 90% yourself.

something i’ll never understand- if you are a journalist and you get to ask trump a question, why not just make some shit up to prove to the world how full of bullshit he is? he’ll make up an answer to whatever - show the world.

e.g.

“Mr President, regarding the war in Iran, the people of Lanora, specifically the Lanoran Guard Corps have offered to join your fight if you supply them with Stormlance rockets - what do you think of their offer and will you be supplying them?”

“Well, the Lanorans are famously brave, wonderful people, so yes I’m thinking about it. Stormlance rockets are tremendously powerful, perhaps the most powerful we’ve ever seen, so I’d like to get them some, we’ll see. Our stockpiles of Stormlance rockets are the biggest they’ve ever been since I ordered them to be built faster so we’ll see.”

Leaving the tap running while you brush your teeth is irresponsible.

That water could have been used to cool a data center!

My mother clipped and mounted a cartoon to physically mail it to me. Of course I must share that kind of effort.

Here's a thought experiment.

Imagine a stamp mark with the words "Made with #AI" on it.

If you see this mark on a picture, illustration, mobile app, song, movie, or story - do you get the notion that this product is of higher, lower or unchanged quality?

If you see two identical products for the same price, where one has an AI mark and the other doesn't - which one would you buy?
