No one benefits from giving senior management an inaccurate view of the situation. There are two possibilities. Either your manager is a CYA type, and will eventually throw you under a bus, or the people above him are the CYA types and he doesn't want to be thrown under the bus. Either way, your career has probably topped out unless you move laterally away from that mess.

The problem isn't being a perfectionist. The problem is being a hero. Hiding the existence of systemic problems by being so good at handling them that management doesn't realize they exist. Granted, that's really more the company's problem than yours.

It's important to never be the only one who can do something. If you need someone on call, have a rotation, and trade if you can't do yours. No one should be on call 24/7.

If no else can do what you can do, then you haven't done a good job of training or documenting.

I've tried Petco Lost Love. Just filtering shelter pets to those with a vaguely similar look has value. I like this plan. Actually, I suggested something similar a few years ago.

Around 2e-8 Joules.

Everyone calls the autopilot George. And by the way, autonomous flying is not that hard. The hard part is having the biological backup in case things go wrong.

Yes, it can. We've seen stories about agents writing defamatory blog posts about GitHub maintainers who deny their pull requests, after all.

All the stuff that used o be exactingly specified can now be vaguely described and you get a half-decent result. It's certainly interesting times.

We really shouldn't be so surprised, Star Trek has been promising this style of computer interaction for decades. I think maybe we just didn't really believe it.

People get defensive about the idea that a machine can take their job. It's human nature. We think we are Picard in "The Measure of a Man," but when it comes down to it, most of us are Maddox.

I like Lower Decks, but I like Prodigy even more.

That was happening 25 years ago too you know. Firefly had the advantage of having Enterprise around to draw fire in that regard, but it was still there.

You're missing out. That's your choice of course.

The animated Star Wars shows are among the best parts of that franchise, so let's wait and see.

> what the hell Human resources??? Are you really that freakin incompetent? Yeah.....that's why the whole "just use merit" thing doesn't work. We aren't very good at assessing it.

My point has nothing to do with the use of AI militarily. No software of any kind, from any government contractor, can include any line of code that Anthropic's software might have been involved in creating. That's what a supply chain IS.
