"The "people" presumably the public have zero clue what work you directly produced. They see a road was built. They elected an official who ran on a policy of building roads. No one cares if "Arrogant-Bastard" (LOL, thanks, I don't often get a chuckle when looking up who I'm talking to, though you don't come across as one :-) ), did the soil load calculation of the road."

This is not only false in that there are people who care, but it's also false in that they have a right to know and they can get that information via FOIA request in the US.

The Internet is by definition a network of networks. Therefore how you define it will be defined by how you define networks. However, since a reasonable definition of a network includes all of the devices on that network, it is also reasonable to include the functions provided by those devices.

The internet IS bloodsucking corporations, that's the rub. In early days it was a bunch of schools. Under their benevolent stewardship, the Internet flourished. When its mission was research, it was healthy. As corporations took over providing the backbone, it became ever more malignant. This should lead to obvious conclusions about the influence of the profit motive on all things, but too many people have been brainwashed by prosperity theologists to get it.

Ignorance, really. The ads for Muse do stuff like asking it to help you shop for gifts and other things, as well as deal with customer service agents if you get wrongly billed.

So it's kind of obvious they gave up the password so the agent could peruse the account charges and then do stuff like challenge them on your behalf.

The way the ad makes it seem is that it happens automatically and takes a few minutes, instead of spending hours on the phone trying to deal with the charges.

So people are being pulled into it simply for the convenience factor.

What an inane comment. If you're not getting something from AI, you are either using it wrong or not using it.

Tell us you didn't understand the statement without telling us.

I have a company full of software engineers, this is real.

Double down on telling us you understand nothing about this conversation. You actually manage people? Here's how it works: Until AI can pay for itself, it's a net negative. You're chained to a rock sitting on a melting ice floe.
