I should have added:

"In general, renaming things does not fix a problem."

Though heaven knows, lots of stupid people try it.

Why not just discard the whole idea of DST instead of putting it into permanent effect?

The whole concept is an attempt to redefine time as a way of addressing perceived social problems. Schedule activities around the clock, not the clock around activities.

Not surprised that someone exploited a vulnerability, but surprised that deployed military personnel are allowed to use civilian communication systems.

I think you got the timeline wrong. IT work is technically easy to replace because a lot of their output can be achieved using APIs that usually already exist. The work itself may be more complex, but the integration isn't. But it's different for, say, a bookkeeper. They may have to deal with things like paper receipts, or do phone calls. You need to be able to digitize input and output for those jobs. That's the difficult and time-consuming part. But once you've done this, these jobs are far easier for a LLM to execute. That's why I think these jobs are even more at risk of being replace, but it will take years to digitize the whole pipeline.

Human customer services gets it wrong at times and someone needs to fix it :)

The Wall Street Journal used to be a very good newspaper with a moderately conservative viewpoint and an extreme (some would say nutty) Radical Right editorial page. Now it just exists to provide a veneer of respectability to whatever scheme the hard Radical Right has cooked up to demonize a new Other (or resurrect the demonization of a previous Other) and hoover more money out of the pockets of the median Citizen.

I'm having a bit of trouble working up any sympathy, as the saying goes.

The FSB is certainly getting a good ROI on their investment in Trump.

AI is so smart that it can hallucinate without even having to take drugs.

Good point!

Darl McBride used to refer to the "spiffy agent technology" that was going to find the allegedly infringing code, so that particular grift is nothing new.

Undoubtedly the origin of the Hobbit-steals-dragons-treasure meme.

I think you mean, "so the middle men can pocket the savings".

"Thank you Vera much."

I am old and my sight grows dim, but I am pretty sure this all happened before the first 0.01 version of Linux was released.
