The point of a degree is to reap a return on investment for getting the degree. An important part of that is enjoying the work. While AI cannot replace some aspects of a CS degree, AI can and does replace the entry level position tasks quit

Most of the major players seem to be actively ignoring robots.txt. They claim they don't do this, but those claims amount to lies. The access logs shows what they actually do, and its gotten so egregious that some sites have buckled un

Well its soft propaganda, what do you expect, they want to force a false dichotomy to shape public perception. It is immaterial that these AI companies ignore contractual obligations (TOS), and are in fact performing attacks on said sites (

What's worse, that inequality is not based in competency or meritocracy but in inheritance, corruption, money printing, and connections. The poor reading comprehension is the purposeful product of decades of indoctrination, torture, an

The assumptions and implications put forth in those two statements have no basis in reality and are easily contradicted a priori. The rest is wishful thinking. Its a fanciful hope, and there's a whole mess of flawed assumptions. Hope i

The main problem with this line of reasoning is that it neglects important parts defined elsewhere making it seem like this is legal when its not. IANAL, but I do hang out with a lot of hammies. You can't help but absorb a lot of techn

Maybe you should spend some time properly educating yourself on the foundational principles of civilized society, what and how it works, starting with social contract theory. AI fundamentally destroys the foundations of civilized rational s

We call this survivorship bias and the foregone conclusion. The inherent assumption precludes the possibility that organized production fails (including food), and with it goes the ability to survive. If exchange becomes impossible because

It is madness/chaos, and it will only get worse. You should be aware that there is no experience hump that will make these things safe. I've a decade of direct IT experience at the principal engineer/admin level, and been out

That's a bit misleading because it neglects the history and changes of how things were, and how they are now. Communication by words and language in general is the sharing of meaning. At one point, each word had a distinct and unique m

The hard part in programming is understanding the perspective and the paradigm shift, as well as the theory from an intuitive perspective. In many respects that degree is a gatekept subject, where you are useless outside your very niche spe

Stopping runaway positive feedback loops are nigh impossible after the point of no return. You have to wait for equilibrium, whether that's habitable (probably not).

Yes, and the worst part of it is we did it to ourselves. It was only through our inability to organize and correct destructive behavior that we have gotten to this point today. Our inability to recognize and combat corruption, and the decei

I can see your point about detailed specific defining of controversial topics, but guidelines to set expectations are possible. No politics, no hateful or abusive posts, etc. Its been done before. I've seen moderator actions on here w

Dang, I'm not OP, but in fairness, wouldn't it be more appropriate to just remove the controversial article/posts driving this altogether, rather than police one side of a discussion's comments which will inevitably come

I think you should probably reread that yourself. If you look close enough at the details, its fairly obvious that the details are highly lacking, and appear to only give the illusion, without the accuracy or objective measure.

Agreed, this coincides perfectly with the 18 month lagging window lapsing so unemployed but unhired people are no longer negatively counted against the economy. The longer it takes people to notice the issue, the more destructive the side e

This isn't a problem domain that models are capable of solving. Ultimately in two party communications, computers are mostly constrained by determinism, and the resulting halting/undecidability problems (in core computer science).

If you just block the connection, you send a signal that you are blocking it, and they will change it. You need to impose cost per every connection through QoS buckets. If they rotate IPs, ban by ASN, have a page with some randomized pseudo
