If we didn't make stuff up, we would never have gotten laid, much less married.
This also depends upon the women willingly hallucinating about you.

Making stuff up is the only feature of AI that suggests intelligence.

My observation is that the population groups are different between young and old workers.

It's not that individual older workers are more productive in any way, but rather that the young cohort contains all the people who will become drunks, drug users, who bring their sex problems to works, who steal and so on.
The young people who are not fucked up are often amazing, but the worthless ones cause more problems and bring others down, so on the average productivity is damaged.
The worthless old ones who have jobs have mastered the art of invisibility, so less often screw things up because they don't do anything. Nor do they spend time inflicting their personal problems/neuroses on others, or perhaps they are easier to rebuff.
FWIW, I'm past the 3/4 century mark. That's my credential.

2 monthly Waymo doesn't stop for school busses story. Although this time posted by msmash instead of BeauHD for a change. I suspect we're getting a dupe of this tomorrow.

Regarding children, I have my car set to "stun".

Compare the careers of these two directors of CISA

previous director:

This one did this:

There is good reason to not let him go to a security conference if he doesn't understand what ChatGPT does with a conversation.
Note that CISA subjected their own director to a lie detector test and he failed, so they got rid of the employees.

Ask for volunteers to donate parts to replace whatever is worn out in the original Linus unit.
A ship of Theseus kind of thing.

Place spent fuel rods from nuclear reactors in the vaults instead of in cooling ponds.
Win-win.

We can start a gofundme so he can make his own backup of his work.
Round up those pennies you won't be using and help him get this backup device:

AI used to be the person who gets on the elevator with you, ignores your greeting, and says "this is what Einstein had for lunch" and then farts.
Today, the same AI is waiting for you in the stairwell, your office, and car.

Typo above. They were not big city people, but rather rural .

That got me to wondering what did my grandparents not have.
What did not exist or was not commercially available for ordinary people when my grandparents were young.
Automobiles
Telephones
Broadcast radio
Electric lighting
Refrigerators
Antibiotics
Airplanes
Women voting
They were big major city people.
It was mostly their parents that invented or engineered most of these things

What I remember about them that is different from today was they had prodigious memory capacity.

I reply to myself with this because slashdot is a handy place to store links.
The proposal clearly violates the NRC Dale Klein's "no bozos" rule.

"It seems that Sawtooth has gone straight to public hearings for a right-of-way, stirring up controversy in the local community with plans for a multibillion-dollar, regulatorily complex and environmentally sensitive project without prior experience in the industry, without publicly known financial backing, without a supplier and without secured rights to connect to the grid. I see no reason to believe a nuclear reactor will ever be built by Sawtooth, not least because the project manager was previously convicted of a significant financial crime.”
