Damn AI bots taking away jobs from paid trolls

Or maybe you got a local bar with decently priced food, generous drink pours, and regularly attended by friendly neighbors whom you don’t always have to chat up but are perfectly lovely when you do

It would be funny if one of those clerks recognized you at an orgy

They said the opposite. AI won’t cause disasters, idiots who give it access will. Some asshole will joke about nuking Iran, unawares that another asshole granted access to the proverbial ‘Button’, and we’ll have another international incident.

Like just look at ‘Signal Gate’, and know that those idiots are still in charge. And those same idiots blamed bombing the all girls school in Iran on AI last March. And that’s just in the US, we have the biggest loudest idiots right now, but they are not the only idiots out there vibe coding up some war crimes.

Goodnight, Moon

But I was thinking of the Zelda moon haha

Child says their goodbyes as the moon approaches

AI is basically a slippery slope in all directions surrounded by pitfalls it misuse and abuse. People are too quick to trust it. I think a syllabus that includes a lesson warning people as early as possible about the dangers/risks is a good idea that is still relevant to the course. An ethics class for the deep dive is a fine idea, but I don’t think a chapter on analyzing this stuff in an Intro course is that out of bounds. Intro should at least address it, or at the very least not considered a waste of time.

I don’t see people giving up on it anytime soon. I do think eventually it will serve some kind of purpose or be refined enough to be reliable in some way. I think far too many people jumped into this stuff with both feet thinking the future is now and skipped over creating shortcuts for tasks in an effort to take shortcuts for profits.

And there are plenty of people who are willing to use and abuse this tech for nefarious purposes. Deep fakes, fraud, etc. they definitely won’t give it up as they don’t care about the effects on the rest of us

Because people are using AI in programming now. It will only be utilized more as time goes on. Getting into the risks and reward are necessary to know what to do and what not to do. Or at the very least what to be wary of.

Introduction Courses are the Who, What, When, Why, Where, and How. Knowing what you’re getting into and what you will be dealing with are just as foundational.
