cars statistically ARE DANGEROUS. The public has just been brainwashed into believing this yearly sacrifice is okay.

The 'demo' for ar is always over promising. I know The fidelity does not actually look like that. Apart of me believes the artistic license gets carried away with itself, because to begin with, you cannot really show what it 'looks like' The iphone for instance was easy. Steve held up a hand held screen. Ar is different, you can't really show what the lens 'sees' until its right up in your face. so you just make it up. In doing so you REALLY really really make it up.

> clearly faked resumes that far too closely matched the job description to be realistic.

Then why would have unrealistic expectations in the ad?

as much as ai has been a boon to my own development i writhe at the thought of middle managers oversold on the promise of ai and its output, making unrealistic requests and demanding 'MORE PRODUCTIVITY' at the greater cost of making more work in the future. Diluting code-as-craft, and commodifying it down to shovels of coal into the furnace.
