Reading many many boo-hooz from *.ai users ... how their buttz get used and abused ... I guess the message is: if you live on the edge, there's no way to hedge. Kinda like airline passengers riding  early British COMET jet planes ... BOOM !  Seems to me none of this AI.crap should have been allowed out of government "clean-rooms " < like SMALL POX virus > for another 50 years.

Sovereign wealth funds are nothing new.Since much of the "productive" land ( cattle / oil / water / electromagnetic-bandwadth ) is government owned, the citizenry might as ell rake-in a fraction of derived profits. Combine sovereign wealth funds  with  savings from driving-out the welfare-dependent border-jumping narco-Mex and you have a real grasp on budget balancing and citizen services.

I've never had anything to do with Face-Book. So ... I don't know. How do they stay in business ( & grow ? ) with such a vampire reputation ? Do (some) people really really need their services  ... whatever those services might be ? Is FB like Adobe or Broad-com and have a spectrum of highly-advanced nitche products/IP  that people "in the business" cannot do without.

Currently i have to work with a program that doesn't work and costs 10K/ license/year. I've now created my own version that has global search, instant import, very good UI and instant save instead of a crashing heap of garbage. 20K lines of code, no imports. Sub second performance.

Yeah AI is here to stay and you can pry it out of my cold dead hands.

Additionally, diesel generators need regular diesel transport, while a solar+battery installation, once in place, does not require outside resources. You could even transport solar panels and batteries with a motorcycle along a foot path, which is much more complicated with a diesel generator. And a solar+battery installation is easily scalable, while a diesel generator is not.

If one actually reads the story, these engineers are being hired to complete training of AI that was incomplete due to earlier departures. The positions being filled, in this case, are very short term. They know up front that as soon as the AI training project is complete they are again redundant.

*engineers complete training of AI*
Management: "You've been promoted to customer!"
AI: *follows training, flags QA issues, slows production to ensure resolution*
Management: "The QA flags are slowing production too much!"
AI: "You're right! We need to increase production!"
Customers: "...this product failed miserably!" *files lawsuit*
Management: "The AI didn't do a good enough job flagging QA problems! Bring the engineers back to get it back to the point of avoiding the lawsuits!"
