I’ve heard many bad things said of the Beaujolais Nouveau, and of my sense of taste for liking it, but this is the first time I’ve seen its critical-thinking skills questioned. In its/your/our defense, I think it’s a perfectly sma

I wonder how the “replacement cost” of a human should be calculated in light of the low birth rates in so many countries. > Also, the full cost of replacing a human is vastly higher than the maintenance wage.

Of course that’s a risk, but is it a different risk than GitHub stealing code from your private repos? In other words, do you just trust the AI companies less or do they not offer “we don’t steal your code” contracts? Has your company trie
