so you are ok if everyone is silenced that you don't like? Careful, because that can turn on you real fast. If you think trump and the billionaires are going to take care of you look how everything is way more expensive in the stores. They could careless about you and instead keep feeding you this crap to be outraged about that doesn't matter.

It is worse than that. In Texas the deep freeze of the last couple of years and the failed electrical grid has literally killed people. And have they fixed the power grid? No they are worried about stupid stuff like what bathroom you pee in. More people at the hands of conservatives are going to die.

Actually, IMHO, it is much simpler than that. Republicans have focused on wedge issues and creating conflict making politics more about what side you are on than running the government. Everything is about how something makes the conservative feel. So voting against your own interest so rich people can get richer, because your made about what bathroom some one pees in is how they are getting elected.

Comment AI will make up programming classes and functions (Score 1, Interesting) 50

When AI was just starting to become popular a co-worker asked me to review code they could not get to work. I took one look and quickly understood that core library functions being used did not exist and that is why the code failed. He had used AI and then did not even go to any trouble to look at the API to verify the code.

I pretty strongly doubt they are saving money. 80% of software in maintenance. So you saved a couple hours creating the initial code and now you have created way more work for yourself in the process rather than just doing it right and having a competent Software Engineer build it. And as well, you have now opened yourself up to risk that the code does something unexpected or has security holes. I expect we will start to see stories about incidence like this with AI code like we did with bottom dollar overseas developers 20 years ago.
