> Before AI there was at least some way to tell apart good programmers from bad

There were only bad ways, and the best way was to just find people who were both good programmers and cared about quality to keep an eye on the rest. Nothing much has changed in that respect.


You picked three animals that will literally eat anything, I think they'll be fine.

But there will be fewer of them, because we generate their food.

We also actively cull them, for the rats. Recently watched an episode of survivorman where he was on this tropical island infested with rats. There's absolutely nothing on that island yet there's rats all over the place. Having no humans they may explode in population.

That's only true for the rats. For the pigs and chickens (and rice), there will be fewer of them because they do not themselves have the capacity to exist at current population levels. The reason they're doing so well right now is purely that we want them to.

Even rats. They are supported by our food and garbage.

>> That's only true for the rats.

> Even rats.

...what do you think "even" means?


> doing so well right now

lol quantitatively well


> I think trying to complicate or make this lesson “all accompanying” to make it more accurate to the real world would make it lose something in the process.

Yeah, it would lose any credibility it had as you realize that there’s nothing new there.


I'm guessing it's more likely their blogging platform automatically appends a referral header to links.

Oh, yep. Right you are. Just looked at their platform (Ghost) who uses a gently termed “outgoing link tags” system.

Where did he say the AI would do that just for him?

I find coworkers will massage the truth or stay as ambiguous as possible all the time, purely for CYA reasons.

Your company or team has a terrible culture. It is not like that everywhere.

One leads to the other so its simpler to point the root issue.

Probably because it claims there’s no problem, and then makes a tiny little mention of the BIG problem at the very end.
