<p>> "at least we don't have death panels deciding who gets to have life-saving treatment"<p>They do, it's just that in the western world the death panels work for the government and optimize for "given a certain level of cost, how do we maximize lives saved", whereas in the USA the death panels work for insurance companies, and optimize for "reduce cost". The latter is a much easier job.<p>Maybe point your US friends to google "united healthcare denial rates" and check that it's 33%. That's the the death panel at work.</p>

<p>My (admitedly superficial) understanding is that in the USA because the welfare state is mostly private, it optimizes for profit. So just because you put a lot into it doesn't mean you get much out. I have no first hand experience of this, but the other day I stumbled upon an article explaining private equity buying up the "ambulance business" and costs balooning, so that tracks.</p>

<p>Complete nonsense.<p>For example:<p>> Our old architecture was scattered across multiple independent systems. A single change might require touching three or four repositories. From a human engineer's perspective, it is manageable. From an AI agent's perspective, opaque. The agent can't see the full picture. It can't reason about cross-service implications. It can't run integration tests locally.<p>Your agents can't connect the dots across three or four repositories? Even I, at home, have a set up where an agent is perfectly aware of what is in what repositories and access them as needed, and I'm just an amateur.</p>

<p>Very easy to explain: Legals.<p>Every good journalist knows that when you say potentially damaging stuff about very powerful people, you must be able to prove everything you say. So, you don't say "Sam Altman is a fraudster" because you (likely) can't prove it in court. Instead you say "Person A said that Sam Altman promised X and then reneged" and if anyone challenges that you show "here's proof that person A did tell me that".<p>If you want to be extra cautious, you only report where you have multiple witnesses agreeing on it.</p>

<p>> (...) she sent her first tweet (...) image of Martin Luther King Jr alongside his quote “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”<p>This person is an absolute psycho and will go back to defrauding people as soon as she steps out of prison. Possibly even before that.</p>

<p>Really? Co-worker 4 is just repeating a pun. Using "sharpe" to mix the meanings of "good looking" and "literally sharpe" is a well known joke. Almost a dad-joke, a joke that's been done so many times that everyone recognizes when it's there to be done, but the person who actually does it out loud will annoy people with their predictability.<p>1 and 3 are way more creative.</p>
