@jenniferplusplus I've been saying since the beginning: AI is a great tool for learning and efficiency, *if you already have domain knowledge*. If you don't, then it will just reinforce your bad habits.
AI doesn't kill jobs. CEOs kill jobs.
1 in 4 CEOs polled by PwC plan to replace workers with AI this year. This is a wild statistic when you consider that 1 in 4 CEOs can be replaced b...
@Daojoan ...because that's what the consumers want.
@carnage4life I think it's less about the audience and more about the authors. Software engineers, at least in America, are still overwhelmingly cis/het white men. They're building what they want to see, not what they think the audience wants.
@KingShawn Oh, then yeah, totally, wtf does it matter what color pants you wear? 🤦♂️
@KingShawn Right, if they really wanted customers to know, they'd give you coats with the company logo on it or something.
@KingShawn @mentallyalex @RickiTarr @BatsInLavender @MissConstrue @HunkThunderzone @not2b Oh, yeah, that was business owner logic I was citing before. It doesn't bear much of a resemblance to the logic the rest of us use.
@KingShawn @mentallyalex @RickiTarr Yeah, they shouldn't be able to require that you wear that *and* require that you pay for it.
@KingShawn @mentallyalex @RickiTarr @BatsInLavender @MissConstrue @HunkThunderzone @not2b I'm sure you're totally right the customers don't care which color you're wearing.
But if the whole crew is wearing the same colors, it gives the illusion that the company is paying for uniforms and makes them look more professional than they actually are, which makes them more money.
@KingShawn @mentallyalex @RickiTarr @BatsInLavender @MissConstrue @HunkThunderzone @not2b I mean, I get the importance of having a matching uniform in some businesses, but if a company wants those benefits, then they should buy and issue the uniforms themselves instead of leaving it to the employees... Especially when it comes to safety equipment like work boots.
@mentallyalex @RickiTarr @BatsInLavender @MissConstrue @HunkThunderzone @not2b Yeah, I once got cited by an employer for wearing shorts... in Florida in July.

This will be a huge help, especially to low-income Americans. Well done, Joe!
@jasonkoebler Since they're ripping off the images from your articles too... I know a great way to hoist them on their own petard. DM me for details.

Sometimes technology destroying jobs creates more of the same jobs. ATMs reduced the number of bank tellers needed at a branch.
This made it cheaper to open bank branches leading to more of them and thus more bank teller jobs.
For some fields where AI will have similar effects.

In software we don't build a 10 ton deck when a 2 ton deck would do, we build a Deck Builder Factory that prints out decks that are fully extensible up and down but we build it into a concrete foundation where the only extension options are sideways. Then we bolt on safety join points to the house that prevent you from actually extending the deck at all. Then we only use the printing system once and throw it away. Then we complain that we over engineered the deck. But the deck? Rated for one ton

@NPR Nonsense. We're docile consumers by nature. Our choice about whether or not to consume, and from whom, is what defines our tastes.

Y'all execs are so particular about abolishing remote work because human connections and face to face interactions are so important to you, until it's time to tell someone they're about to pay for a mistake you made.
And that's not even touching the elephant in the room, that these companies are making massive profits in what may be the greatest wealth transfer in all of human history?

I really loathe how many artists just want enough to live off of and are seen as 'entitled'.
Meanwhile people throw billions of dollars at scammers that suck everything you have after the media prances them around as 'innovators'.
No artist I know is promising you the moon, but I'd rather buy some art and be content than an empty promise that makes me bankrupt.
