Fuck this AI shit. It's just going to be used for swamping every avenue of human communication with marketing.

I usually end up with a title like Staff Engineer or Software Engineer.

In a courtroom, I'm a software engineer in California. And it is what I report on taxes. What I report on census. And what I report when I apply for a mortgage.
My lack of a formal degree in the field makes it very unlikely that my company would call me to act as an expert witness. Even though at one time I was an automotive safety trainer and safety lead for regulated camera. What is good enough for a private company is often insufficient in a courtroom or at least won't stand up to a well placed argument, which is ultimately what an attorney is all about.

In part because nobody wants to reveal that they don't actually know much about Rust.

Legally I'm a software engineer despite not having a degree in engineering or computer science.

Not much I can do about it. That's my job title and what I put down when I am told to provide accurate information to a government agency.

You may certainly petition the legislature of my state in order to force my employer to change their job titles. But it's out of my hands (I also do not care)

You've heard of ironwood surely? Then why not iron cheese?

Imagine how much more plastic and other petrochemicals you'd have if we stoppes burning most of it.

Just because some people want to put their penis into everything doesn't mean everything looks like a vagina.

Because the first thing I'm told is the most likely correct thing.

Economists can attempt to build a model that has some predictive power. And we can wait a year, a decade, whatever and throw out the models that don't fit reality. We've theoretically been doing this for 250 years but there is also a very good reason most of us think economists are full of shit.

And the people who are into having a camera in their bedroom want to get paid per minute.

Ukraine has no way around these security measures, not without having someone on the inside helping them...

The whole Netflix DVD mail thing is what had me drop TV service and go Internet only. I can't stand long interruption with ads, I start to lose the plot and don't enjoy watching. And I don't watch a lot of series, especially if they are new. I'd rather let someone else tell me if it is worth starting. Been burned too many times on stuff like Lost.

They will be coming to crop shortages in North America and Europe. So I don't think you get it.

People will either buy it or ignore it. Not the first silly product from them that most of us will not remember.

We'll be wondering why there are so many starving refugees before we move a millimeter on the climate change issue. Of course, the longer we wait to act the more expensive and difficult it will be to overcome. But doing things the stupidest and laziest way possible is a bit of a pattern with us.
