Anyone charging hundreds of dollars per hour for their work had better damned well be doing it. Not only should they be sanctioned by the courts, but they should face criminal fraud charges. If the courts want to put a stop to this they had better get serious now and stop handing out slaps on the wrist. Multiply the sanctions by an order of magnitude and give opposing counsel a 30% finder's fee to encourage additional vigilance and it'll quickly stop.

Almost nobody actually laid of employees because of AI, that was just an excuse to downsize in slow markets. If sales were growing, the same number of employees could do more work via bots such that they wouldn't actually reduce head-count.

Then again, I figure the days when NASA did the right stuff are long past.

"It looks like you're trying to pull an Apollo 13, would you like some help with that?"

"My God, it's full of bugs!"

"Star-North", solved!

Bots can't test the newfangled space-toilet.

Some slob had a double salami sandwich just before launch.

Donald has repeatedly claimed climate change is a hoax, and his cult believes him.

"Pssst, wanna see my north pole?"

...get elected. Brains are optional in politics.

Nobody wants Oracle products & pesky lawyers any more. AI ain't gonna save you. Sayonara
