CommentRe:The orange tumor is a real zero master (Score 0)115

The dumbest felon to ever become President is tremendously delusional if he believes K-12 education needs AI more than better funding for teachers and an end to banning books and forcing Trump bible purchases for the classroom. However I don't think he gives a damn. This AI push smells like Billionaire bullshit.

CommentRe:Plenty of programmers, they don't want to pay. (Score 1)76

People are lazy and cheap. They would rather 1) not do the hard work and 2) spend the least money needed to replace systems. So where the Cobol code might get tricky to handle edge cases, the replacement code won't cover the edge cases and the people in charge might just say, "Welp?"

CommentRe:Trump does not get it (Score 1)464

Trump is a moron, who only believes in bullying -- and is ignorant of the importance of soft power.

Foreign aid like that provided by USAID is primarily a US Jobs program (for farmers), and by providing food to poor nations, the US gained a strategic advantage in the UN. If you have friends, you don't need to bully nations with your military. But Trump is a shithead.

In addition to tanking the global economy, Trump has created a situation where foreign nations won't trust American markets or American investments. Pulling out of the US banking, real estate, and stock markets means a deflation in the value of these systems -- which will increase the length and severity of the economic decline. The fact that no one has given the President lead poisoning is a sign that we're not hurting enough yet -- but we will suffer tremendously.

If you think 10 people can do the work of 100, you should pay each worker what they're worth. Trimming staff and explaining away the cuts as "AI can handle the load" is the new "lets fix the shitty singer with autotune during mixdown". sometimes it might work but garbage in, garbage out.

Corporations Offshoring is Their Decision, not the Government's decision. If you want to spur innovation at home, you need to fund education and research, and maybe hold off on bringing in so many H1B visas to apply downward pressure on wages. Vance has it all wrong, just like pretty much all of his other public opinions. What a greasy slimy dirtbag.

Comment"slimy deception" (Score 5, Interesting)83

whoever said that can go to hell. i think it's cool that they were so dedicated to the authenticity of this movie that they brought in dialog coaches, then polished off the recorded dialog using computers. that's literally no different than tastefully using autotune to correct bad pitch or Izotope RX to reduce the noise from wind picked up on the microphones.
