It's not that obvious. Corporations are investing heavily in automation in customer relations. There are metrics for how much work had to fall back to humans, because it couldn't be processed by the machine. Managers are motivated to improve on those metrics, and make the humans redundant.

Of course, LLMs are just pure garbage that produce more work for everyone and achieve nothing. Especially in business, they are a great way to reduce efficiency. The users dumb down, believe any bullshit, drop all critical thinking, and the people on the receiving end of their bullshit have to filter even more stupidity than ever.

But you don't understand this as a manager. A piece of code by AI, that produces the same result as a piece of code by a human, or close enough, seem equivalent. Potential side effects are just noise that they don't understand or want to hear about.

Managers also don't understand that AI doesn't scale. If it can write a Python program to calculate prime numbers, it can surely also write something like Netflix, or a payment processor, right?

Then there's exactly what you point out. Other managers claim they're doing it. So there must be something to it.

Once they wasted their budget on renting this technology temporarily, cuts have to be made to ensure the bottom line.

Maybe AI isn't replacing your job, but the stupid investment might cost you the job anyway.

It's also important to realize that you don't require quality work or a quality product to be financially successful as a corporation. The AI industry is the best example itself.

Wow. They managed to grab such a star after how Intel has been excelling in the important field of AI recently. Nokia does it again

On desktop, using testing + manufacturer repos is fine. Don't use repos intended for other distributions.

People don't want community. They are fine with scrolling through mind-numbing, recycled content. Reddit has realized years ago that human contributors just create problems, and can easily be replaced by bots, and you still make a billion USD

I'd start by asking the person for money that also gives you the money to pay off your payday loan for the next couple of months. Like, you take the worst credit on earth to pay for shelter you rely on, even though you haven't even worked the job for a single day, and you didn't even leave yourself 50 bucks breathing room?

Sorry, but the 50 isn't your problem. And "How to get money?" also seems like a weird question in general. It's not like everyone is keeping it a secret.

Sounds like a teenager made this up, hoping to get some easy money from people trying to help

Took me way too long to realize that there are as many incompetent people working in medicine as in any other profession

If only you could use ChatGPT during an interview the same way as when you're employed. Then everyone would finally recognize how outstanding you are

Huffman? The guy involved in lossless compression?

I believe writing the pure kernel is doable in time, but Linux has a ton of drivers, also implemented in C. I also believe it's not unreasonable to assume that those are the source of most of the issues that Rust would solve. I'm nowhere close to actual kernel development myself though either.

Migrating such a huge, complex code base over however as much time to a different language seems completely unrealistic to me though. What you're saying is right. It makes more sense to keep a pure C Linux kernel and work on a replacement in parallel. No matter how great a new language is, you can't expect an entire community of seasoned contributors to adopt it. It's unreasonable

Thanks for providing the additional clarifications, I think pretty much all of it is valid, I just have a slightly different perspective.

Most people would likely agree with you that investing into a home through dept is reasonable. I don't disagree.

I also agree that you can utilize loaned capital in a way that your earnings outperform the debt incurred.

You're still gambling though. You can not afford to lose your home, or that loaned capital. Maybe you feel like your chances are good, and maybe they really are, but you're relying on your personal prediction of the future to ultimately resolve that debt.

A "real" investment is just as much gambling, but the fallout from failure is entirely different.
