All development was offshored to a lowest bidder. Thanks to this, all our critical flight control software is now developed by a single intern aided by Copilot (sic!) We are now looking for a way to optimize the intern away.

It would be nice, if someone could train stray cats. I have very smart in my neighborhood. And can be hired for cheap, basically a slice of sausage.

Yea I laugh at everyone try to shove AI into hardware and software design of physical products as if there's a market of engineers out there and not just hobbyists keeping things alive in the states. We've long since offshored the development of any physical products that isn't considered ITAR/defense world.

  I think there is a great opportunity to use AI in design and development, as long as it is used correctly. Which is as tools to help engineers. At my previous workplace I wrote a documentation bot which helps people find documentation based on vague descriptions of what they are looking for (like when you know you saw something but you don't know where exactly or what the keyword is). Or by specifying what you want to accomplish. Mind, the bot would not create answers to questions, it would just ingest existing documentation and point people to things that are relevant to their searches.

  That would imply that my entire career didn't exist! Hmmm, wonder what I've been hallucinating about for the last 30 years.

I can’t wait until they replace pilots with remote workers in a low cost of living area.

  90% of what a pilot does is sit there, so you can just have one pilot per ten planes, and have them remotely connect to the one that needs attention!

    It’s one of those situations where the latency, packet loss and jitter really does kill you!

AI should be in life critical software.
