On the one hand, it’s still super fucking stupid. We had to give up an arms dealer or something for that. On the other hand, I could totally picture Russia just arresting someone because they decided that they were wearing the wingy colored socks
He’s a fundy traitor. Just because he finally caved on this issue after ENORMOUS political pressure, doesn’t mean he deserves any credit. He should be jailed for all the lives lost in Ukraine while he dicked around and held this up.
Whether he left the money or not, no sale was made as he didn’t pay the agreed upon price. He stole those goods. When HD files their taxes, it’s not as though the government doesn’t charge them for the tax on that. Or rather… That’s how it works for small business. I have no idea what kind of tax breaks they get.
We’re not there yet. Right now, AI development still requires someone to stitch it all together. It’s a VERY useful tool when you’re trying to dig through twenty years of docs and issue threads (lookin at you Drupal) and it’s a massive time saver, but at best it just sort of guesses at what you’re wanting based on patterns that you’ve already established in code. All this will do is allow the to produce more code, cheaper. It might be true that there won’t be developers who don’t use AI in the future, but as long as business reqs are created and interpreted by people, sometimes going to need to be in charge of it to make sure the machine is interpreting things the way that it’s supposed to.
