This is nonsense "Whenever companies are more productive, they hire more people". I can tell you from personal experience, I have seen massive layoffs at companies with skyrocketing profits and high output. Companies hire when they NEED people, that's it. And if AI replaced the need, then it replaces the people.

That isn't how the law works. And that is why every lawsuit so far has failed miserably. AI isn't reproducing the works word for word, it is learning patterns from them, and making up it's own words from all the texts combined. It isn't copywrite violation for me to read everything on a topic, and write my own book in my own words. I don't even need to cite sources unless I copy word-for-word or use a single source of that rare fact/theory/data - and AI will already cite those where needed. Citing isn't violating copywrite either. All that aside ... good luck hiring school-funded lawyers to fight in court against Google and Microsoft and IBM and OpenAI and Meta. Let us know how that works out. :)

Comment Self-Identify - PO (Score 4, Interesting) 127

I say this as someone likely on the spectrum but undiagnosed ... piss off with the self-identification garbage. This isn't your sexual preference on a Tuesday after a few drinks. It is neurological function and cognitive abilities and should be determined by an expert. What next, percentage of people self-identifying as geniuses.

Comment Agree ... BUT (Score 1) 82

I agree with him in principle, but this is also a very odd approach to problem solving. He is ignoring other solutions to the identified problems. If the issues he is calling out could be caught by AI-driven lint use, is there really a problem to solve that justifies the additional problems of mixed language use?

Comment Yeah, developers fault (Score 1) 71

You can't blame developers for using the language in different ways when it has been designed by a committee for decades to give developers the most bloated and convoluted ways to do everything. It is a terrible and inconsistent language with terrible libraries that should be allowed to die.
