<p>Universities are the type of place you would automatically expect to teach the fundamentals.  They do it in every other subject.  You should have "coding like a caveman" back to back with "coding like a spaceman". You can make the hand coded class have two 1.5hr in-person labs each week. With an AI class along side of it.  Don't wait on either skill, both need to start freshman year.<p>First year AI is teach assistive coding using llms with open source models. Setup a workbench llm for each student to have with an openweight model on it. Teach different ways of getting good results and go over setting up the whole environment yourself.<p>The next year do a 4hr lab in a lab room with office chairs, variable height desks, and model it off an open office. No special dress code, but name tags and people will talk to each other with the openness of dialog at a good workplace.  This even gives the TA usable experience.  You could introduce different structures with leads or co-equals or any useful team structure.<p>People need to be taught in-person working skills because companies don't want to hire people without experience.  This also helps someone be able to interview for a work from home job.</p>

<p>Make it easier to make claims against employers and don't reqiure people to pay for a lawyer.  AI help is not going away and criminalizing it is nothing more than making sure only rich people get to use AI against others.<p>Look at how AI can hack other companies and cause harm, but no one gets arrested.  One of the reddit founders was forced into suicide over a bogus conviction over distilling jstor and now every AI when wielded by a tech company gets to do the same thing without their CEOs going to jail for 20 years.<p>Stop supporting things that give all the power to a handful of CEOs.</p>

<p>Sounds like we should prevent rent increases.  Fix the law, don't throw it away.  Landlords that cannot afford to be landlords need to sell and go get a real job.<p>No one is entitled to be a lazy landlord taxing other people's existence and its extremely rare for a landlord to have built new houses, they mostly gatekeep the existing housing.<p>People in california need to take advantage of a populace willing to vote for constitutional amendments and override the politicians.</p>

<p>That is not the same thing at all. That is an actual historical debate.  Yes, the sea of japan is technically wrong, but the ones asking for east sea are the ones who also said they would compromise if both names were used.
We can prove east sea predates sea of japan.<p>Don't equate real things with fake issues trump pretends are real.  Lake of america is political propaganda.  It's not real.</p>

<p>Google needs to be broken up. The next democratic president will have to break them up into pieces.  Future presidents will get to use trump's new powers of doing whatever he wants.  With google, there is more than enough bad behavior to legally break them up that will survive the courts.</p>

<p>Let's not gaslight ourselves.  This guy was clear.  The CEO who knows the least about anything shouldn't be changing timelines.  The real solution is to fire the CEO and hire another 1500 engineers as that would greatly increase shareholder value at no additional cost.<p>The second best solution is to just reiterate your original timeline and say NO(even if you do it quietly) when anyone tries to change it.  If they keep meddling and trying to get you to work off hours, let them lay you off.  The important thing to remember is a CEO and execs are helpless.  Don't sacrifice yourself to shield them from their own mistakes and incompetence.<p>If they miss the deadline, they just spin another lie to the customers.
To this developer, this work was the most important work of his life.  To the ceo, firing him before anything is finished and spinning a lie to customers is just another tuesday.</p>

<p>Paprazzi take effort and money. It's laughable to say "because paparazzi exists, we should give up all our rights".<p>No one took away private detectives or paprazzi. But if you replace both with a 24/7 never resting and no additional money tracking system, everyone will be tracked.  It's litterally the business model because the mass tracking of americans without a warrant is what makes these companies money, not the hardware.</p>

<p>Why should any of that be a secret? We don't have to give companies rights that normal people do not have.  If there is money to be made, let two AIs discuss it.  CEOs are way too corrupt and way too overpaid to be trusted.  local AI wiped out one of my harddrives trying to resize it.  That is less damage than a CEO can do.  AI is safer than a human CEO.<p>If we restored the 1950s tax code that discouraged mergers and kept CEOs from grifting, everything you were concerned about stops happening.  Businesses were way more honest when there are thousands of local and regional competitors. Federal tax cuts let CEOs merge everything.</p>

<p>Then do it.  Hypothetically claiming the job can be automated as an excuse to pay people less is older than everyone alive today.  Lying to exploit workers is nothing new.<p>Until you actually remove the need for a human, you have to pay full price for human labor.  Which if you used AI is never really going to happen.  Someone has to evaluate what AI creates to make sure it does what was asked.  This trend of not prosecuting crimes conducted by AI cannot last forever. The CEO would be the only one arrestable as the CEO is the only person with decision power in the company.</p>

<p>This is nothing new.  The most socialistic era of US history was the 1950s with a 90% federal income tax bracket capping yearly income to a max of 5mil a year in 2026 dollars. That is how we ended the great depression.<p>When a CEO cannot personally get richer by cutting wages, understaffing, and outsourcing; all of those things stop.  This is why republicans called everyone a communist back in the 1950s.  It is sad that people remember mccarthyism, but completely forget the socialistic tax policy that ended the great depression and made it possible to own a home out of high school while raising a family off a single income.</p>

<p>We simply need to bring back that 90% federal income tax bracket we had in the 1950s.  If we had the same tax policy today, a CEO or investor would be limited to 5 million dollars a year in earnings.  This is what fixed everything.<p>If a CEO cannot personally get richer by cutting wages, cutting staffing, and outsourcing; all of it stops. That was the secret of affordability.  Don't let a thousand rich people own everythjng.  Tax them so we can have millions of working millionaires instead of 900 non-working billionaire elites.<p>As those 1950s taxes and post 1929 financial regulations were cut in the following decades, the wealth inequality that led to the great depression has returned.</p>
