> By avoiding AI you might be out of a job one day without the ability to get another one, because employers will all reqire it. Well, this is just nonsense. I can't think of any technology that literally all employers require.

It's already spread. Where I work (in the US), we manufacture industrial machinery that is heavily tech-dependent. The increased memory prices are biting us hard. On top of the increased costs from tariffs that we've been forced t

Yes, yes I have. I've known a lot of Canadians over the decades. They would totally commit to guerilla warfare to defend their nation, same as most other people would. They'd be damned good at it, too. If you think there's so

I don't think that the message Carney delivered was primarily intended for the Davos crowd. I think it was intended for the world.

You can induce similar psychosis in people by being trusted by them and then agreeing with and amplifying everything they say. No AI needed. You often see this effect with people who surround themselves with yes-men.

Nobody's forcing anybody to use LLMs for hobby projects. You don't have to take on the expense if you don't want to.

> it's on employers and job seekers to, more or less, just start using AI. I don't see why it's the responsibility of employers and job seekers to ensure that Microsoft's huge investment pays off for Microsoft.

Lots of people were sounding the alarm while the .com bubble was inflating.

I'm certainly not going to say nobody should use it. But I assume the dev then is the dev now. That he was OK introducing something like that, even 9 years ago, tells me that his values and my values are very far apart. I did actually

That's what I switched to as well after evaluating a half dozen or so other ones. I agree, it's fine. It's missing a couple of niceties that I enjoyed with Nova, but nothing I can't live without.
