Funny how last week they posted on an active Erlang role on the Elixir slack. AI is great and all, but you are still hiring for the same role.

Great! Now we just have to wait until everything would be ruined. As always people are not perfect, so they can’t create anything perfect. A day, a year or 100 years - sooner or later it would fail. The sooner it will the lower loses we would have. When it would fail it too late then we would talk about making daily life like in ancient times (in best case). AI would kill humanity … yeah - people are shooting themselves in knee so often that AI can just wait and “live” like “ancient gods” as like aliens could in some theories. The biggest horror is done by people, not by mysterious viruses, aliens, AI or whatever else. :see_no_evil:

Think who you are when you are the first one who is doing that just for money … a greedy person. People on high positions have frozen conscience, no empathy and as we see doesn’t care how other people sees them. Do you really believe that such people would lead a “perfect” team, creating “perfect” tools? I don’t believe they would ever take care about quality as long as they have money, right? In normal case it’s their deal, but if such actions would be forced everywhere then you really think that “nothing would happen” if it would fail? Think who the CEO would ask to repair something that is doing all the work? CEO would need to pay for repair, but that’s in conflict with why “AI” was forced over humans. Try to imagine consequences of such “perfect” ideas … :-1:
