Talk about trying to close the barn doors after the horse has bolted! You're only waiting until there are a gillion datacenters going up to talk? Oh wait, no, it's not that at all because fuck the environment, right?

"As the models become more powerful, they could begin to act against our interests and we could lose control,"

See, it's all about losing the certainty that people like him have been afforded in life. Frankly, I hope they lose total control of the situation and are forced to shut everything down, only to be faced with the dire consequences of their actions. Fuck all the people that don't give a fuck until it could possibly impact them because they are the same assholes who want tax breaks and think empathy is a weakness.

Even if the pay packages increased exponentially, there simply aren't enough people in the field.

Significant increases in pay will draw more people to join the field. Will it take time? Yes but it is how you get more people. However, if it were truly exponential then you would get people coming from other countries. It can be done, if you have the money.

In an interview with CarExpert, Vikram Pawah, the CEO of BMW Group Australia, said that young buyers prefer the newer controls. “We can see that voice and touch are becoming more and more common,” Pawah told the outlet. “Maybe it’s a generational thing as well. You would see that a lot of the younger generation, maybe 45 or below, they’re tapped into these technologies at a faster pace, using voice, using touch.”

This would be somewhat believable if this design only affected cars targeted at young buyers. It does not. Many of BMW are targeted at affluent boomers and Gen X due to high price.

While I mostly agree, the one part I may disagree with is with documentation. It's not uncommon that documentation can be scarce for certain things which means that if someone can generate, review, and publish documentation for part of the project, I see that as a way of helping users that would otherwise have very little, just poor documentation, or in some cases no documentation at all.

I don't think ignoring AI and remaining relevant is an option that is available to Debian, at least insofar as Information Security. AI code analysis in search of vulnerabilities is a significant force multiplier, to the point that we are flooded with CVEs for almost every major commercial product. AI's ability to identify vulnerabilities in existing code is already working very well, ability to preemptively fix these issues during AI-generated code is still being worked on. As such, very soon AI generated code will be a lot more secure than average human-generated code.

A drought of skilled workers is further slowing them down...

Given that we live in a "market-driven" society, the correct conclusion is that companies are refusing to properly compensate skilled workers. As for the cause, the only rational conclusion is that there is insufficient competition in the energy distribution market. To encourage competition, the correct move would be to start breaking up large energy distribution companies like PG&E.
