Great comment. Here's another thought. The difficulty with AI is that about 95% of working with AI is typing in prompts. (Which anybody could do.) The other 5% of it requires serious IT knowledge--usually at a senior level. Thus, the ideal software engineer is someone who thrives on verbal/creative expression--and is willing to learn a deep technical expertise so that they can get past the roadblocks. That describes a very, very small part of the human population. The creativity/social aspects scare away the geeks. The computer science scares away everyone else. In short, I think software development will struggle to get people even after job demand comes back because the job itself appeals to a very small slice of the population.

The vast majority of data needed to establish and run a business simply does not exist in the digital world. Even if the AI had the capability of establishing and running a business (which it does not) it's missing the necessary data needed to make correct decisions. We are a long, long way from having a real life Mr. Data.

Live long and prosper!

"How buggy software can be installed on a running system is unknown..." LOL. Breaking things is easy. It's keeping them from breaking that's hard.

So you need something to monitor the security and look for vulnerabilities. What could do that for you? More agents of course!

If Hugging Face could be hacked by an AI bot their security couldn't have been very good.

They should brand it "cheat GPT".

The AI angle feels like a sideshow. If a Berkeley math professor says her students are five to eight years behind, the urgent question isn’t whether she used an editor — human or machine — but whether the admissions policy is putting unprepared students into courses they can’t succeed in. Argue with her data, not her spellcheck.

What could possibly go wrong?

Many local restaurants are getting tired of the high fees and offer discounts for cash. I've started using cash much more often myself. The banking industry is out of control. Increased profits is not always a good thing. There are times that a business sector needs to shrink.

If you've forgotten how to innovate, do what everyone else does.

Original: smaller companies would come out of nowhere and eat the lunch of more established players by out-innovating them. Comment: That is actually what is happening right now. You are just to blind to see it. Examples not statements!

It's simply a conduit for fraud.

I can't imagine how this could go bad...

Good luck figuring out the brain. It's crazy complex and wonderfully simple all at once.
