I missed the part that said it involved leftists, fats, or lesbians.

The thing to look for is how they go about solving a problem. That's the key. Coding is easy. Figuring out what the problem is and how to go about solving it, that's the hard part. Especially given that the problem the user says they need solved is often not the problem they actually have.

Cleaning, dammit! I would definitely buy an AI-driven robot to eliminate the following completely from my life:

- washing, drying, folding, and putting away clothing
- washing, drying, and putting away dishes that can't go into the dishwasher
- *effective* vacuuming, dusting, mopping, sponging tubs & showers, etc. (don't say Roomba, they are pathetic compared to a human with a Miele vacuum)

These activities are so frequent and so time-consuming. They continue pretty much unchanged for your whole life, so they don't teach you anything except the same repetitive motions.

To paraphrase someone (I don't remember who), "I don't want AI to create art so I have more time to do laundry. It's the other way around."

Yeah, let's ressurect a 30-year-old flame war!

Which is based on Minix.

So far as I know, the problem has not yet been detected on other planets or spaceships.

I'm guessing that Martians don't run Windows on their computing machines.

I like the idea of a folding phone. I really like a flip phone for something smaller to carry around.

But I'd never go back to a phone with moving parts. Just way too much stuff to break. No phone I've had with moving parts ever lasted longer than 2 years. I'd much rather just carry around a regular slab phone. They last so much longer.

Remember when we were all techno-optimists who thought we would end up with 401Ms and even 401Gs? We're as dumb as the flying-car believers.

They'll probably postpone is US share prices start dropping.

I think we should rewrite everything in Rust and then sprinkle unsafe() around like it was glitter to get most things to work, and then claim it's more secure because "Hey, at least we put warning cones out around the dangerous bits!"...

No browser is going to bring back the good old days.

He was here to save our asses. We should have shown a little gratitude.

Grade homework on completion and be done with it. Then schedule in-class quizzes and exams, where students are expected to show their work as well as the results and do it hand-written. That makes it hard to access chatbots, and even if students do the drudgery of transcribing the chatbot's output will discourage them (if they were willing to do that much work, they wouldn't be trying to skip the work using a chatbot). They may skate by on the homework, but the exam scores will show whether they actually learned the material or not.

AI can definitely be useful for writing code but you need to give it very clear prompts and properly verify that the code it wrote is correct and accurate.

As for my own code, considering that the stuff I am working on at this point (personal projects, not paid work) relies on a bunch of reference materials where feeding that stuff into an AI would probably violate various NDAs 6 ways from Sunday, the answer is no, an AI bot probably can't write the code I am currently working on.
