And yeah, for me, 48 years old was the big downslide. So many small things start going wrong at the same time. And the maddening thing is, you still feel young inside. It's just that you slowly give up on stuff because the body doesn't follow. It's like seeing opportunities disappear and doors closing. Not fun...

Comment The kindest thing that can be said of AI (Score 1) 59

is that at the moment, it has human junior engineer-level skill. This means it's also liable to do stupid mistakes out of inexperience, that turn into giant screw-ups if you put it in charge of critical stuff.

I did my share of root rm -rf's when I was a young programmer but my boss didn't let me do it on the primary database machine. The wost that ever happened was that I deleted my own copy and had to reinstall my machine.

If you're dumb enough to make AI work on important stuff, you're a bad "manager" of your AI junior engineer.

Couldn't they pass all the bikes through a box that delivers a high-energy eletromagnetic pulse, or microwaves for a split second or something to destroy any electronics inside while leaving the mechanical things intact?

Or course stuff like electronic derailleurs or cycle computers would have to be taken off first.
