Nothing's going to fix that but having more doctors around. Going from a recorded transcript to a summary note, extracted structured data, and diagnostic codes is a big time saver.

Baseless speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if some withdrawals are just moving money around to spread risk. High confidence, but high withdrawals?

AI will probably be boring eventually since it's a large umbrella. Even if you scope down to LLMs and NLP, gluing those to work with your stuff in interesting ways will still seem boring compared to publishing papers. What I never got

There are plenty of other jobs that anyone with a pulse could do and make more than fast food. But of course those jobs make total economic sense, right?

TBH we'd all like offices a lot more if they had one person offices in them. That's my big chip-on-the-shoulder: we went from personal offices -> open workspaces -> remote -> back to the office in the name of productivity

I feel like you can compensate with more complicated prompts. Or even different prompt categories (like negative prompts, but for programming it might be a list of constraints). Like this interface: https://github.com/AUTOMA

People can claim to be seniors because the gates for getting that title are pretty permissive. But even if you had the conviction to re-evaluate yourself ("do I deserve to be a senior engineer?"), you'll find tons of opinions

It's nice to imagine, but tech puts its quality gates around developers. That means developers will end up having to prove they are better than a manager-using-ChatGPT, rather than managers having to prove anything.

It would be nice to have, but probably too much dev/design/QA effort for the payoff. Then you have to consider the confusion of presenting two different appearances of the game to the audience. This seems like it should be solved

Farming as a whole is probably just going to have to become a sunk cost center for economies. Sure, no one will make a profit and we take money from high margin industries and move it into farming, but you also won't have food shortage
