How? AI doesn't encourage you - my guess is, she's insane.

I agree. And the interesting thing is...we're rapidly approaching the point where the knowledge gap is going to be so great that you won't even have people who can say 'I want a software system that does this, this, and that' because...they won't know that it has to. I suppose they could say "I'd like it to do something like $Y software system" but who knows?

Someone else said this in 2012 - sound familiar? "In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic? Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario – however remote – should the initial experiments have been performed and/or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision? Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks."

It would be interesting if we actually started teaching computer science theory again. When I speak to "engineers" these days about algorithmic complexity or "Big oh notation" they look at me like i have three heads.

yet we've now had Agile for decades and it really has meant less and less emphasis on documenting anything. Couple this with functional language illteracy..it's going to be interesting. How do you get past this? Time will tell.

As opposed to Marx. Why not "NO to either of them?"

well since he's not in the USA anyway what's the point of listening to him about anything related to the nation?

"To control voter outrage." Of course, Massachusetts and New York have populace that want big brother, so no outrage there.

This is part of training. So, I think it's a great idea.

Well, I think the British still have us beat, so...we can do better, and be #1 in everything. Per chatgpt: United Kingdom / England: Historians estimate that England and later Great Britain engaged in roughly 137 major recorded wars over a span of more than 1,000 years (from 939 to modern times). During the 64-year reign of Queen Victoria alone, Britain was involved in approximately 230 large and small military campaigns. British forces have historically entered or operated in the territories of the vast majority of modern nations.United States: Founded in 1776, the U.S. has a much shorter history. It has officially declared war 11 times across five separate major conflicts (the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II). However, if counting undeclared wars, military interventions, and conflicts with Native American tribes, the U.S. has participated in dozens to hundreds of smaller military engagements and operations, particularly since the mid-20th century

Indeed, and my university granted BA degrees in Computer Science because it started in the math department - which was granted as a BA.

well, given that young people want starvation socialism in the USA, itg won't ever happen, so we're good.

Shhh, you're pointing out the rest of these clowns are death worshippers.

Of course, people who are not doing dangerous work - who are not soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, fireman, farmers, ranchers, policeman, often somehow feel like they need 'excitement' of 'danger' so create it. That's possibly what is happening here. This is not to say that unbounded, unconstrained AI might not pose a danger - decided to destroy the electric grid of the world with the exception of the power feeds to data centers, for example, would be rather dangerous for most of the populace. But it may be marketing AND psych. Personally if you are beyond the age of traditional adrenaline careers such as LEO, Fire, Military, and want real danger, do it properly: become a reserve policeman, volunteer fireman, volunteer EMT, take up big game hunting in rugged environments, and so on.

Yes, so is Generalisimo Francisco Franco, too.
