No, but I still worry about the stupid people that continue to take over the world. It's not the AI I'm worried about, it's the NS - Natural Stupidity.

I wonder if there's a stupid gene or does it take practice?

As a serious reply, I think neither - it's a complex problem of culture, education, media (news and social), environmental factors, prenatal care, nutrition, economic situation, and so forth, in no particular order. The sad thing is, all of those factors could be addressed at least to the extent that infants => children => adults could at least have a decent opportunity in life. But I'm biased in my views of the sad situation most kids are dealing with, so take all that with the due amount of sodium intake.

I totally agree.

It was asked recently if the need for software developers would ever go away. After some debate 2 schools of thought emerged. The 1st group thought that artificial intelligence would supplant developers and that project managers and sales & marketing would become the more important fields in software. The 2nd Group (consisting mostly of software developers) couldn't articulate a coherent response - they were laughing too hard.

Neither group is entirely right but Group 1 is nearest the mark.
My prediction: Within 50 years (probably a bit less) a LARGE percentage of today's software development jobs will be gone. A few "wizards" will remain to mind the AI but the mundane stuff that the vast majority of today's devs do will be gone. That being said - project managers and sales/marketing drones will also be gone. The CEOs will deal directly with the wizards.

You should ask ChapGPT to do the project management for you and see how it goes

Good idea! But I fear the plant would only generate power when the Sun is shining from the Left.

Hi All,
The subject says it. Once before I fixed a widget that had gone bang on a Friday, today the same widget totally different issue, fixed it. Why do these things go bang on Thursday nights & Friday mornings. A time when you want to winding down... 
|
|
|
|
|
For the same reason that if you have a doctors, dentist, other appointment at 11:30 AM, things will go bang about 11:00 AM, and need an hour to fix. The universe hates me.
Keep Calm and Carry On

Tell me about it!
I'm working on a child's game that uses a voice playback module to give random instructions to a child, they press a button and the next instruction is given. Simple, had it working perfectly.
So my SO recorded a bunch more instructions, I downloaded them to the board and now everything went to hell in a hand basket.

The real answer is because Workers don't start doing anything during the work-week until sometime around 10am on Thursdays.
All that activity creates a huge strain on your software / hardware and things break.

Yeah, the first part of the week is spent procrastinating by doing "refactoring".
E.g. "it will be easier to add that new feature they want by the end of the week if I just rework some of this code first..."
Actually, I have been in that "refactoring mode" on my current utility for about two weeks now. Maybe I can get to that new feature next week.

Better than going bang at 4:55 PM on Friday.

Same reason you get toothache on Xmas day when the dentists are all closed for a week

Boy have I been there - tooth root infection started acting up on Friday evening - got into the dentist on Monday after a sleepless and painful weekend. Just about fell asleep right there in the dentist chair once the Novocain shot started working.
