And nearly everyone will choose to not do the work because verifying third party code is a lot of work. This is particularly true with NodeJS where each component gets its own copies of dependencies (instead of having shared dependencies which is usually true in most other environments) and you can have literally thousands of dependencies for a single app.

Comment Wrong Goal (Score 1) 93

If the goal is to rapidly increase revenue then get more intelligent execs that set better goals. The goals should be to get things done faster and with higher quality, that is unlikely to grow revenue rapidly - especially when everyone else is also using AI. The real promise of AI is lower cost in the long term, and higher quality. But you're not going to make more revenue from that higher quality because everyone is using AI, it's just the ante to keep playing in the game.

"'The nuclear bombs, since they were known to be killing civilians going about civilian business, were contrary to both the Hauge and Geneva conventions."

I don't know what the standard was then, but that's damned sure not the standard today. The standard today is will possible civilian casualties outweigh the military benefits. It's often an eye of the beholder sort of thing. Given the estimates of dead and wounded of invading Japan and that they rightfully believed that dropping the bombs could end the war, certainly seems legal by today's standards.
