It's critical that we adapt to a strategy where AI supports our learning instead of the having it the other way around.

Excellent. Although I suspect the author of the programming language invented this Janet for all the perfect puns. Yes, Janet. No. Janet.

maybe this is the future now, your list of achievement could be anyone's list of achievements. heck even the salespersons at work can do this with AI now. There is no affinity to it. Future will potentially be like this, marked will be overflooded by artificiel software.

Seems very vulcan. Works with vulcans and to some extent vulcan wannabees. Words have meaning, and how we express ourselves through our words is how we lead and share knowledge. There is nothing wrong with being honest, but honesty without love and care is brutality.

It is an humbling experience the moment when you accept that getting hacked is something that can happen to anyone, including the best of us. No one is too good not to be hacked.

AI is built to be non-deterministic. Variation is built into each response. If it wasn't I would expect AI to have died out years ago.

The pricing and quality on the copilot, codex (which I am experienced in) feels like it is getting worse, but I suspect it may be my expectations are getting higher as the technology is maturing...

Some of their high priced noise cancelling headphones have excellent quality. I purchased the QC-25 ages ago, and when it stopped working I reached out to support, this was beyond their 3y warranty, provided serial number and they sent me a new QC-35 no questions asked replacement unit.

I am very happy with my QC-35 headphones. They are probably 5y+ now and they go with me everywhere. I think it is unfair to state their hw quality is low. It is much better than low.

This is an actual hard problem he is trying to fix. 50-line python? Pfff..! My current personal 400-line rule script begs to differ not to mention the PAIN of continuously maintaining it. I was looking into using AI to solve the same problem but now I can just plug and play.

Slippery slope- just matter of time before someone makes a downdetector for the downdetector for downdetector. Ad nauseum.
