And for promotions as well. And if you want to see the results of that, President Nixon outed a whole bunch of CEOs and other government/industrial movers and shakers.

Nope. Sorry. I don't want to be a part of that circle jerk.

After all, women go for more decidely female-related professions such as female doctor, female surgeon, female attorney, or female director.

Of course the AI versions would get paid less.

... the female AIs are more likely to quit in mid project to spawn a child process.

(Ducking and running.)

... Miskatonic University?

Instead, we could have kids playing outside after school in the dark. At least when they are walking* to school, I know where they'll be.

*People actually make their kids walk these days? If you don't drive them in the Land Rover, Child Protective Services will be called.

So, traditional Japanese time.

True, to a point. Perl made _some_ commitments to maintaining the "multiple ways of doing things". Which led to a lot of unreadable code (intentionally, at times). And like Python, Perl was a glue language. And proud of it as well. The problem will become that in the step to Rust, there are things that Rust can't do (efficiently, at all, or without "unsafe" keywords). And then where will we be?*

Larry Wall is a linguist as much as anything else. He didn't have a PhD thesis and associated reputation on the line with "a new thing".

*I lived through the era of things that just worked on various flavors of UNIX and Linux. And then the Microsoft consultants came in, picked up our requirements documents and a red Sharpie and started to cross out anything that Windows can't do. Just to get it in the door.** History repeats itself?

**I worked in a secure facility with armed guards. At one point, I asked the boss how these people even got in the door. "We gave the guards guns. Why can't they use them?"

Except that nobody is really desperate to get on broadcast TV anymore in urban and suburban areas. Other than to get onto the cable systems via "must carry" rules. For free, to boot. There's no quicker way to get your Sunday Morning preacher carried all over the city than to put up a crappy low power transmitter and ask no remuneration. The Word of the Lord spread far and wide is sufficient compensation. Same for the shopping channels. They ask no money, so they can't get bounced off the cable. And they make plenty by advertising cheap jewelry, silver (plated) coins, personal injury attorneys and CBD infused everything.

Somebody needs to look at the economics of cable and broadcast and figure out which way the value is really flowing. Without input (coke and hookers) from cable or the NAB.

What happened to the "must carry" rules? Where the Big, Bad cable companies had to carry local broadcasts? Including every 500 Watt Jesus Channel in town. It's getting so you can't tell who's on the receiving end of this corporate daisy chain anymore.

Here's an idea: Everyone divest themselves of content providers and studios. And become common carriers for local regions. Then let the big boys fight for room on your cable, fiber or r.f. spectrum with their cash. Which will go quite a ways toward funding local news and programming.

I don't think that makes the document any less your own than having a human copy editor conduct a similar review which has been done since forever.

Which is what I've been saying as well. If all you're doing is asking for suggestions to something you have already written, using AI is no different than using a human editor. It's your work. It's been written. You're just looking for advice on how to improve it.

This is completely different than people who tell AI what they want and it does all the work.

Well then, I'm taking my Tannerite and going home.

... take your Mac down to the rifle range and use it as a target.

It's the only way to be sure.

Because she's gonna be rich pretty soon.

As long as it's my hand on the lever, I'm OK with the outcome.

... because when Israeli intelligence breeches FBI security, they don't deface the home page.
