I fall victim to your first point trying to avoid your second all the time. I should have said kids bedtime stories though. 😆

Third-paragraph people gotta be the new name bc what fresh hell is that.

Google is also trying to lock in schools to a particular set of ideas that it claims to be based on "learning science" with its new LearnLM/Guided learning bot. It's a *theory lock-in* to a very attenuated version of learning theory. blog.google/outreach-ini...

Absolutely! Additionally, companies also have to justify the cost of keeping-up-with-the-industry-joneses when they adopt and integrate these AI tools. Any metric that goes against that isn't useful to them.

Probably because it's considered "hands-free". Distracted driving is still distracted driving. I can't imagine anyone actually wants this.

Are there AI tools that are helpful? Sure. But most of them are way over-hyped.

Don't believe a company that says AI (esp. genAI) has helped their engineers do more/better work.

Ask about the quality of that work. How many security issues since the intro of AI into code workflows? How many down reports? What's the difference in # of bugs introduced?

These tools are undoubtedly being used to justify automating engineers out of their jobs and companies can use their own workforce to do so. WILD.

I’m going to leave this expired card on there and see what happens next month and then delete my account altogether.
