Where is the profitability of truth in politics? In government? In media? Truth has fallen by the wayside.

The courts only care about the law, not truth or justice. Those are literally words that came out of a sitting federal circuit court judge.

People are being shown every day that truth can be whatever you want it to be. Until there are actual consequences for telling lies, nothing will change, and truth will continue to be increasingly irrelevant.

I would not be surprised if justice now gets served vigilante style.

These people have made a choice to work at this organization. They could quit and find other work. Nobody is forcing them to serve the empire.

No one on this list is completely innocent.

It is a shame that Debian has invited such behavior by this move.

I wager the resulting usage would drive the system costs up to the point that it would be dissembled and decommissioned. That only happens if the people behind it feel the cost personally.

It’s the American Way!

Your might be too young, but I remember the Graat Outsourcing. Engineering teams were replaced wholesale with overseas counterparts. The original engineers literally trained their own replacements.

Those companies have for the most part continued to thrive, despite the resulting enshitification of their products and services.

History says this time will be no different.

Then again, you have the saftey factor. Some people should be given hand tools first, so you can see whether they can be trusted with power tools. Just as you would give a junior small tasks before trusting them with something bigger.

And I have been an AI skeptic, so it pains me greatly to admit that.

Hand tools have no place in the modern economy outside of bespoke or otherwise high-end goods. Today, the economics of power tools make them necessary to embrace in business, or your competitors will out maneuver you in the marketplace.

That doesn’t mean all of existing craftsmen believe that the power tools are safer or produce better results; their opinion ultimately does not matter, as it would lead to the demise of their income stream. The majority will learn to swallow their pride, because they cannot deny that things have changed forever.

My company put off adopting AI until this month. We will never go back, because I am now effectively leading a team of egoless juniors at a fraction of the cost of a single human. The economics will never work out in favor of me writing another line of code.

Yeah, that’s working out brilliantly.

If the law cannot meaningfully accessed and practiced by the Poeple, it is not Law; it is Tyranny.
