AI is only going to replace jobs that people hated doing in the first place, (eg boring, repetitive, hostile-customer facing jobs)
Prepare for a future where "I want to speak to a manager" results in being sent to an AI to stonewall you.

Wait till they realize that is not the only model.

The only thing new here is that one could theoretically make like a series of MDU type units, where you have like 100 perfectly designed, shaped, structurally sound in a row. In practice, water and soil conditions are unlikely to make this viable anywhere that gets rain. Structure buildings need to be on bedrock, made out of solid rock, and the closest humans ever get to that is roman concrete. Adobe material is not 'packed dirt", it's clay. Clay is not just that stuff you buy in a store to make a crappy mug out of.

This is why you see adobe-style stuff in deserts and nowhere else, you can build such things in dry climates where clay exists. But these are also not structurally sound buildings, they will crack with thermal stress, they will crack with earthquakes, etc. They are basically only suitable for areas with no inclement weather.

Google's subtitles are terrible, and what's worse is that a lot of AI crap trains off it.

Like all my videos have perfect subtitles because it comes directly off the input. When I've let youtube "auto" caption, it can't tell what is speaking most of the time. So you get really worthless captions on anything that is not a one-person podcast with no music and an American accent. If they have an Aussie accent, not a chance. If they have a Quebecois accent, ZERO.

The main reason to get rid of homework is because it does not reflect reality (sorry Asia with the declining population due to work-a-holics.)

A healthy, proper, day is one of two:
6am wake up, have breakfast, start work at 8am, leave work at 4pm, have dinner at 5pm, go to bed at 9pm.
or
9am wake up, have brunch, start work at 11am, leave work at 7pm, have dinner at 8pm, go to bed at midnight.

You do not take work home. And your roommate/spouse that you live with should not REQUIRE an additional income to afford to live in your city. Things are so bad now, that you need 4 incomes. (You work a job, your roommate/spouse works a job, and you rent out a basement suite or a second condo to another two people.)

Which is the problem here. Homework reflects a type of work from the 1920's that stopped being a thing in the 1980's. Everyone has access to the internet and uses some form of computer. Hence there is no point in being assigned homework when there are better programs, even games, to learn from.

Homework is "take your text book home, and waste paper and ink copying the textbook" You don't really learn this way, you memorize stuff that you need for the next few days and then never use it again. You need to be able to use this in reality.

Of all the stuff I learned in K-12, the stuff I have rarely had any practical use for is the sciences, yet, I'm genuinely interested in the sciences, so I have to read about it on the internet, because I can't walk into a lab and play with chemicals and 3D print robots. If you are a non-curious person and all you ever do is watch tiktok and ask chatgpt everything, you're just a slave to the machine, and that is what needs to be learned in school. NOT being dependant on the machine. When I was in elemtary school it was "no calculators". And when the computers got into the classroom, you still had to print everything.

The thing is, we can recycle waste now instead of trying to bury it like companies were still doing in the 80's when these accidents happened.

Like I'm not going go advocate for nuclear power, it has other problems not related to waste (like being a significant contributor to greenhouse gasses like all thermal plants, instead of pushing that steam through multiple heat exchangers so none of it's wasted.) Like it still feels like the oil industry would rather burn (Flare) oil and gas than use it for co-generation, and when they flare it, it's just plain heating the atmosphere. Start optimizing energy generation and people will be less willing to hate how it's done.

Nuclear waste can be 96% recycled. That's substantial. Yet because its' cheaper to dump it or vitrify it, that waste is going to end up long lived. The rules that need to come down the pipe from the Atomic Energy industry is "zero waste". All waste that a plant produces, must go back into the hole it came from when it can't be recycled, not dumped.

Brand Loyalty programs are just charging you more, and they use your "extra money" spent to be banks. That's what the airline industry did, and then devalued your points.

It really depends.

If you are making a sequel to an existing film, and the film absolutely relies on that person's voice, then okay, I will let it slide (eg Darth Vader's voice in Star Wars is basically impossible to replicate by another actor.) But I will only let it slide for some very specific reasons where recasting would not work.

For example. Star Trek. Kelvin-verse is basically dead because one of the main actors is dead. The only reason you can make a film is with the existing actors. And these films weren't very good to begin with. Sufficient entertainment, but they weren't "star trek" enough. If you lose a primary actor before you get to finish your film trilogy, and that actor was the one contracted to play that part, then you owe it at least to the estate of the dead actor to finish the film they were supposed to be in. If the Estate is like "nope, recast it." then you're off the hook, but your trilogy is likely dead.

Like if you wanted to make a TOS film now, you can't. You have to start over again. At that point, reboot the entire star trek continuity and eject everything added since Enterprise.

I hypothesize that the smoking linked gene might simply be "pushed out" due to the frequency of damage caused by smoking, so the gene might be expressed due to the exposure of tobacco/cannabis during youth, and in turn making them smell garbage/feces when exposed to it. Any time I run into people who still smoke, they smell absolutely disgusting it's smell that reminds me of campfire when you burn green/wet stuff. Cannabis smokers are worse, they smell like they rolled around in garbage juice or dog poop.

The celiac disease might be a consequence of the high-sugar content of bread in the US, and how quickly it goes moldy. When exposed to green mold too many times it likely causes the gene to get turned on and say on, and subsequently tries to get you to stop consuming bread by not digesting it, but it goes too far and doesn't send a signal of "I feel sick" to the human but rather" it isn't noticed at all until they stop being able to digest food.

Maybe. If "AI Vibe Coding" is really good, it could write everything in C correctly the first time, and none of these other languages would be necessary.

Eh, nah.

Rust can replace C++ and Java, not C. Nothing can replace C because C is as close as you can get without writing assembly. You can not make C "memory safe" because the CPU is not memory safe. Rust is at the same layer C++ is. You can compile something in Rust or C++, and then decompile it back to C to see exactly how it works.

To that end, There is this really godawful paradigm of programming recently, even before all this AI crappy-vibe programming started to be a thing, where people advocate for their pet language that is not C, and do not understand why C can not be replaced. If AI vibe coding is so good, then it should produce error-free C code and you should no longer need any other programming language. I sincerely doubt this is what the AI programming is doing because very few people write "good" C code.

Wordpress is just an absolute terrible CMS. It's core feature is posting text and letting bozos spam the blog with millions of spam comments.
- Wordpress has no anti-spam solution
- Wordpress has no caching mechanism
- Wordpress relies heavily on themes and plugins to have any functionality at all, all it takes is one bad plugin to kick the tentpole holding the site up.

Why would anyone want to replicate this godawful design.

Funny how that once-in-a-life-time switch to work from home, didn't stick, and all the corporate morons wanted to go back to the office, because they don't care about fuel and energy costs.

Like only a small handful of areas in the US/Canada would be able to switch to WFH at the drop of a hat, Metro Vancouver and Montreal, because they have automated metros. If it's automated, then going to the office to work and working from home just saves you commute time. If you have to drive, like most of the rest of the continent, you the employee are subsidizing the office.

The answer to that is "absolutely not"

If you can't code worth a damn, then of course the AI is going to find a lot of "bugs" and many of those bugs aren't even bugs, they generate warnings in the compiler otherwise the program would not compile in the first place. The first thing you do when you want to eliminate bugs is "treat all warnings as errors"

You don't need AI for that.

I'm sure AI is useful for finding errors that don't show up as warnings first, but I can tell you first and second hand that your average open source project has thousands of bugs in them, and they're ignored because the compiler is allowed to ignore warnings, especially those about truncation and incorrect cast's.

Do not let the AI recommend solutions unless the code going into it is already 100% correct, otherwise you may simply be "unplugging the oil pressure light" rather than servicing the vehicle.

Remember "full self driving" , remember "hyperloop"

Yeah, this is more of that.
