Indeed. Much of the school system is motivated by that. One of the reasons all good STEM courses have to teach _basics_ to their students, because school failed to do that.

Indeed. And after those years still being without any business model and not doing very well on quality or real-world potential.

Indeed. It is a clusterfuck and it will not do anything worthwhile. It will waste a lot of time and other resources though.

And that is exactly why "equal" is the road to hell. You will do nothing for the average and lower performers and you will demotivate and lose the (far too few) ones with better mental potential. A sure way to ruin any society. The way to go is "equal opportunity" at some point pretty early on and then it must depend on what you actually bring to the table personally.

Yep. Too many big-ego idiots around that like to think they can do anything they set their minds to. What they actually do is oversimplify things and then try simpler-than-possible approaches. That always fails, but if enough idiots go along with a hype, that failure can be delayed for years and become much more severe in its impact on society.

Indeed. And by 2033, LLM-type AI will either have failed completely (causing a severe economic crisis), or will have been reduced to sane levels (unlikely, comes with a severe economic crisis as well) and these "skills" will be useless.

Or no-skill types when the LLM-bubble inevitably pops and takes a major part of the economy with it.

Yep. A lot of "my ego is BIGGER" people here. But that is really the same of most of social media: A lot of Dunning-Kruger Effect Proof type of people.

One of the purposes of schools is to keep the unemployment numbers low. Same with universities, hence so many bullshit majors in some of them.

It would be pretty insane to stop supporting 32 bit altogether. Especially as there is a ton of 32 bit systems out there in the embedded space. But even in regular computing, 32 bit is fine for a lot of things and these then just run slower and need more memory when forced to go to 64 bit.

Most things are fine with 32 bit. Some things are not. But here is the thing: A lot of supposedly 64 bit software is really 32 bit with extensions.

No. Photonics is not useful on chip scale. Maybe it will eventually get there, but that is a >50 year thing. If it ever happens.

There will not be any AGI anytime soon. AGI may happen never or maybe in a few centuries. At this time we do not even have a credible theory how it could be created. And this is not a question of scaling up. AGI will need to be able to do some things LLM are mathematically proven to be incapable of. And hence this is not the way. AGI is just a carrot dangled to get more stupid money to keep the straw-fire burning a bit longer.

I can see this coming. In fact, it has all the classical signs. You do not even need insight to see this, some relevant education in history is enough.

Indeed, it does. We may also need some Nuremberg-type trials afterwards.
