"The time comes" is now... it already opened. The fact you didn't even know illustrates the issue.

I literally did not even know about this movie until last week. It has hard very little media coverage, no one talking about it on any major social media platform (which means that they have not been paying people to talk about it)

If Disney expected a big opening for this - they should fire their PR team.

Not really. Canadian content laws are super, over-ridiculously complicated. Where something is shot is of little consequence.

This is actually a very smart partnership for them because it says to fans that if they want to score tickets, they better switch away from Google/Amazon/Apple and over to Spotify otherwise they are going to miss out.

What percentage of those booing students had used AI to help them complete their coursework in the past year?

I would wager good money - 100%.

... not GenZ and GenA

From my experience with my Gen A daughter, they are VERY well versed on distinguishing AI from non-AI.

It is the older cohorts who are being deceived.

I agree 10000% with what you are saying

But again, my company is not a charity

I can't afford to hire junior developers and train them for funsies. That's what you are suggesting.

What does that mean 5-10 years down the road? We are all fucked. But again, I can't solve that for society. That is SUPPOSED to be the job of government, but they are all sitting on their hands eve though the industry has been screaming at them for 3 years now to start plannibg and do something

This braindead article is very out of touch with what is happening on the ground. Go and actually talk to developers, or look at Department of Labor statistics.

"AI is just making developers more efficient" - Yes, which means, we need less of them.

Speaking as the position of someone in charge of an engineering team - I don't plan on ever hiring another junior engineer, ever again. I only have jobs for senior engineers now. What does this mean for the industry? It is going to be dire - however my company is not a charity, I need to make decisions based on what is best for the company - and right now, that means hiring hardly anyone and those that I do hire are only seniors.

Yes, because more photos and videos of space are bad.

Use the power to heat up molten salt and store it underground, using the heat to run turbines for baseload in winter.

It is not rocket science

- Reduce prices on weeknights to get people in the door.

- When things feel over-priced, it greatly harms the experience and results in less return visits. Reduce margins on snacks. The prices are insane right now and literally out of reach for many families. Two parents and their kids with basic popcorn are looking at like $150+ to see a movie right now in some markets it is INSANE. If prices were more reasonable, then a lot more people would go and you'd make it up on volume, more importantly they would leave with a POSITIVE experience.

- Figure out other ways to lean into the experience. Partner with restaurants to offer "Dinner and a movie", and make the showtime conducent to that promotion (see next suggestion)

- Air family movies at times that make sense for families. I can not even count how many times we have not gone to the movies because the only options are either too early or too late. People in North America eat dinner between 5 and 7, movie theatres should be smart enough to plan around this.

I had VERY SPECIFIC requirements and I wanted the extended warranty. I would have paid 2x at a dealer. I know what I was doing.

I bought a used 2020 XC90 from CarMax last week. I did everything online from shipping it from Texas to Minnesota to financing the extended warranty. I walked in the door, gave them a cashier's check, and drove away within 10 minutes.

That's how it should be.

The incredibly frustrating thing is we have had technical solutions to this for decades (Zero Knowledge Proofs, which allow a third party to verify something - such as your age - without actually sharing your PII with them) but no one actually implements the damn stuff properly.

Unless it has the Sheridan seal of approval, I am not investing.
