To me it is good thing in either case. Extraordinary people are leaving to make even faster research and development. A lot of talent in Google hitherto unnamed is going to get chance to shine.

For companies that deployed Java this is the best part. Growth of Java from 1995-2015 and enterprise IT outsourcing was almost in lockstep. It was not for programmers with taste or interest in coding. It was J2EE 1000 page manual printed and distributed in bulk at IT vendors describing things in hugely verbose details with dummy pet-store project to use all facets of Java/J2EE that ingrained into overall Java culture.

It could be business or politeness reasons that well meaning Java language authors rarely spoke a word against this wider Java culture. So it was just assumed that overtly verbose code and organization of Java projects have official stamp to it.

No one really cared but it satisfied me and make me really happy.

"Go port of Vercel's AI SDK (github.com/grafana/ai-sdk), providing streaming LLM orchestration wire-compatible with @ai-sdk/react"

The difference with Movie director at least is in details. IT director most likely does not care about Python, bash, js, mermaid, performance characteristics and so many other things that AI agent might have used to solve the problem. The user of these AI innovation are not having much say. They are not going to be voting with their wallet or feet.

For movie director the details of process matters a lot. Unless of course I am shooting 2 min video on my Motorola phone, while my kid is cutting her birthday cake, and call myself a movie director while doing it.

I hear all this and it seem useful also. But from what I have seen in last 5-8 years is that immediate supervisor/manager have hardly any power or resources to anything meaningful for employees beyond filling basic HR templates that go nowhere.

This could be different for very early career employees or startups where one's manager could be just the founder or CTO and the like. But for mid career and above employees in typical established business, managers seem merely human timesheet for work done. They have full mandate to get work done creatively , enforce corporate policies from up top but little in term of listening/approving any of their employee's considerations.

If this does not get Anthropic 'The Presidential Medal of Strategic Restraint' I don't know what will.

In terms of actually responding to eco-disaster I don't think people are there yet to see error and mend their ways. I do not expect this to change at least for next couple of decades.

1) No more human written code in projects, all code must be AI generated.

2) Developers are responsible for all code AI generated.

Combine that with fear of losing job and you have no one calling out management bullshit on their face.

Or to be upstanding, ethical companies that they are. Just put disclaimer after every prompt response and on their website "AI generated code has no absolutely no guarantee of quality or correctness. Human prompter must be held accountable for any mistake or inaccuracies."

Hope it wouldn't be too much bother to these important companies.

is this joke?

Here we are talking about trillon dollar AI companies who claim AI can fix decade old bugs and create new compilers, OSs and what not. Are parallel agents working autonomously to fix issues as well as create new features not allowed at these companies?

But yeah conspiracy theoretical approach would generate lot of discussion on this rather normal thing happening.

US may have evolved differently, Asian scientists may have come, US progress may have started a few decades late, US may not have been super power but normal power (not such a bad thing) and so on.

> The US in 2025 and 2026 is extremely hostile to international scientists and is hurting greatly from it.

I never get this point how come these extremely smart scientist feel okay to come to US as long funding is there meanwhile US can continue thousand other extremely bad things all over the world.

These scientists seems like FAANG employees who don't look at what their employers are up to as long paychecks are huge. However once leaving or fired from job they become moral philosophers of our times.
