“he was drunk and whacked out of his brain, he coded it up in assembly overnight before he passed out, but now could not for the life of him remember how the algorithm worked”

Yup, it exists.

They need the excuse to install a complete police state.

And when the car is drivable you do a demo for the customer to show what it’ll look like, somebody in the room will ask what the flight ceiling is and things first go very quiet and then very loud. After much discussion it turns out they actually need a flying car. Of course there is no additional budget for that.

There is an extension to automatically backup open tabs and restore them for the hardcore tabbers.

Some of them move to marketing and become sexual predators

The expectation is that they’ll have to hire back a lot of developers back in a panic once the consequences start hitting.

There is a small chance a new AI is developed in time that is actually good at coding and debugging in a complex environment before that point but for now that seems unlikely.

Remote desktop manager from devolutions.net at the moment. It’s what our admins recommend.

And the thing figured as I was on a corporate network, so it locked itself down and needs settings done by the office 365 administrator. They checked and apparently you need some paid tool to get it working. We’re using an alternative now.

We’re only pretending to be in control. It’s like being the spokesperson for an organisation trying to explain what all the different departments came up with. But on the other hand, if the spokesperson makes s compelling argument, the rest might fall in line.

Had that yesterday.

“Must use special characters!”

“Okay, no problem. Here you go.”

“Not that one! It’s too special!”

“Dude, I haven’t even touched extended ASCII yet.”

string boolEnable = "True";

Hundred sextillion terabytes. Yeah, everybody of calling it hungry sex bites in minutes.

“I rule from the shadows” is my usual response.

That’s the same people that never figured out using blinkers or speed limits so that sounds about right.

It could also be possible that AI doesn’t write code but becomes the new software. Hook it up to libraries, contractions, databases and pump it full of the verbatim ramblings from the client, sales guy and manager. Sure, it costs a magnitude more power to run but it’s up in no time.

Then hire a few consultants that used to be senior engineers for an outrageous amount to trace the weird hallucinations and replace the mission critical part with real code.

The future is going to be wacko.

Money makes might makes right

Let’s see how fast China will be in becoming the cultural dominant one.

Miljaaar

And sending a space ship at a good fraction of light speed to a nearby star uses more energy than our total civilization uses at the moment. We’ve got some work to do climbing up the Kardashev scale before we’re anywhere close to that kind of travel.
