Comment Product managers will program instead of engineers (Score 1) 101

As a former product manager you'll see more PM's start to generate code. More times than I care to count the engineer refused to hear what the product actually did and only wanted to code. I had to explain in such detail it was very similar to how AI needs prompts.
Imagine how many PM's will take advantage of getting their code created without delay. I get we aren't ready for that code to be enterprise ready. But there is no denying it, it's going to be enterprise ready soon enough.

It seems quick to market. I have so many questions.
What about the off gassing if any?
Are we just creating another forever material that we can't break back down? Can it just be thrown out or treated differently for all excess material?
What happens when there's a fire in the house? Is it going to release awful chemicals?

Exactly. He didn't pay taxes because there were no taxes for him to pay. How foolish would it be for him to pay more than what the government says he owes. when people have access they donate to, wait for it, charities. he just happens to be rich enough to have his own charity and dictate how every dollar will be spent.

Comment Re:Article fails to mention - User's mental stabil (Score 1) 208

We tend to project ourselves in these situations and quickly determine only if I was mentally ill could I be duped. We fail to factor in the base level of intelligence of said person in question.
As others mentioned it's easy to con someone (purposely or unintentionally). Ask any AI a question and if the answer deviates from the one you expect you ask it again and the prompt apologizes. A subservient response from AI that fire off subtle, "I one upped the AI". AI that has been posed as super human in ever article out there. It's a stretch to say this leads to God like complexes but you can see if you keep interacting with it and were susceptible to influence it would result in a reddit thread about yourself :D
Best to always state to the AI you want direct responses without too much in the way of verbose responses.

Comment Re:The BS (Score 3, Informative) 72

I worked at a fortune 50 company for 10 years and I described it as a bunch of fiefdoms as well (Actually Game of Thrones was more accurate). Give a VP a pool of money and they want to recreate the wheel to prove their team is needed. The amount of duplication was crazy. Group B would be inspired by group A's work but never dare ask to leverage / lease (for infrastructure and maintenance) the existing tech stacks. It would show weakness and possibly too much overlap rendering Group B pointless. So much waste.
