Because I've tried using LLMs to generate code and I've seen the results. They are not usable. They *resemble* valid code, but they typically throw exceptions and raise errors, they can't pass unit tests, and they don't correctly handle edge cases. AI-generated code is a mess that *superficially looks right* but isn't fit to purpose.

There is a meme going around about the fact that you can tackle a normal coding task by spending 3 hours to write code and 1 hour to debug and test it, or you can use CoPilot to spend 15 minutes to write the code and 8 hours to debug and test it. That matches my experience.

They're not hurting anyone.
Leave them alone.

Why does every business need a copy of my Social Security Number?

And why is a lawyer the one finalizing the divorce order?
Shouldn't that power solely lie with the judge (or the judge's staff)?

The original Tesla Model S had a two speed gearbox, but Tesla couldn't figure out how to keep them from breaking, so they went with a one speed instead.

There Aren't Enough Electricians To Fix America's Broken EV Chargers

tl;dr: estimates are that the demand for electricians will grow over the next decade while the supply of electricians will shrink

A few remarks...

> Meanwhile Huawei announced that it is increasing R&D spending

This might be a false comparison. Huawei and Amazon are very different companies. It would be difficult to directly compare them, and to suggest that the strategy that works for one would work for the other is at best naive. For example, it's worth noting Huawei is effectively a state owned enterprise of the PRC, and their business is subsidised by the state. It's also worth noting that the PRC tightly controls the public statements, censors everything, and many times statements are aimed at the domestic audience. Meaning that the CCP wants the Chines people to not be exposed to bad news, everything is just great with the PRC! Reuters acknowledged that in that link you shared, that they could not independently verify any of the statements made. So it's a bit weird you chose to cite a source with super questionable content. Also it's worth noting that in the USA several other big corporations are cutting jobs, and those might be a more credible direct comparison.

> This is so stupid. In a few years Amazon will be trying to hire these people back, having lost ground to companies that looked beyond the next quarter.

You might think it's stupid, that's your opinion, but I would suggest you might be fallaciously appealing to ignorance. That said, it was really amusing in an extremely ironic way, because you say "companies that looked beyond the next quarter", and I would argue that Amazon is probably doing exactly that. Consider that Amazon already cut 19K jobs, and is preparing to cut another 9K. Do you really think that is a company with a short term vision? They clearly believe the economy is going to get worse before it gets better, and if anything they now believe the economy is going to get much worse than they originally forecast.

Big corporations have teams of economists on the parole, they are not living in the same kind of denial that you might be. (no offence)

You don't necessarily want the camera in the lens, because:

1) You don't want the additional hardware sitting on your eye, and the associated added costs of the lens (which can be lost, broken, etc.).

2) You don't want the camera to go blind when you blink or sleep.

3) You don't want the camera lens obscured by the environment of your eye, including mucus, tears, and eyelashes.

4) You don't want the camera to be subjected to the normal rapid motion and vibration that your eyes normally experience, let alone medical conditions like nystagmus. Much better to have the camera affixed to a more stable point on your body.

American banks regularly close the accounts of individuals who work in adult entertainment.
There's still check cashing stores, but that's not what you're talking about.

So they want him to subpoena the IP address and sue the contributor who posted his image.

Seems like a fair compromise.
