because all AI can do is manage the information it is given. Could it make a leap? Yes if the right information is present and the right questions are asked. Today's AI is not really there yet, today it is just a big automated filter and matching machine there really is not any intelligence behind it ATM.
No one has figured out how to program a concept in to data. No one knows yet how to program thought, consciousness in to an algorithm. At least that I know of.
the HR individual knows nothing about the skills they are hiring for. Thus looks for buzz words and a well crafted (questionable) resume.
The initial filtering should be done by an individual with the knowledge and skills they are hiring for. In 10 mins you know what the lay of the land is. But that is only done in small businesses and is not how the corporate or government world works.
As a self employed contract programmer I have not been asked for a resume in 15+ years. I do not advertise, use the web to get business, etc. I get my clients when 2 business people are chatting and one talks about an IT issue and the other says you might want to call this person.
Great AI could work! but it would need to be that in the know filter.
since we can genetically modify DNA someone/corporation/entity/group/government will do it. Like AI, Robotics, etc Genetic modifications will be done. We all need to accept that.
It is also true no one has any idea where this will all go. And what the unforeseen consequences might be.
for 30+ years. If a client ever proposed this I would pass on the project. If you want to be an anal retentive micro manager hire a programmer in house. Want to improve your chances of delivery and acceptance. Write a great Design Specification and Acceptance Criteria document in the beginning. That protects both parties not this BS.
More like systemd becoming your Office productivity Suite. Since the plan is to convert everything in to a systemd module. Coming soon to a distro near you the Linux kernel running on systemd. lol keeps head down;)
There might be one benefit. If I stopped using OpenOffice I could get rid of Java once and for all.
I priced getting an iPhone but the price vs capabilities vs need vs ROI just was not there. I can even write the cost off on my business.
Granted my cell phone needs are very basic, calls and text. I write apps for iOS devices but don't have a need or desire to use any apps.
Apple will be the last to have problems, most in that world have to much money and just don't care about cost. It is more about status than needs. But I would have to think the device bubble will burst at some point. After all how long is playing some variant of candy crush going to keep the masses enthralled.
but I guess we all know it comes down to how much money Facebook is paying them to sell out their customers.
But then I do not use Facebook since it provides nothing of value beyond private family contact points. Maybe someday the masses will figure out they do not need Facebook, one can always hope;)
Just my 2 cents;)

Who is Joshua Topolsky
The Verge Co-Founder Calls Ben Shapiro "The Jew Who Helps Other Jews Onto the Train" says a lot about who Joshua Topolsky is. But that might just be me.

"And when the spreadsheet gets to unwieldy I get a phone call."
should have been
"And when the spreadsheet/VB App gets to unwieldy I get a phone call."
And when the spreadsheet gets to unwieldy I get a phone call. They hire me to build a distributed in house database application to replace the spreadsheet. Interesting enough the spreadsheet is a big part of the design specification/acceptance criteria. Since most clients do not want to put the time and money in to sitting down and doing a design specification no matter how hard you insist it is the best way to assure the project will be completed, will prevent feature creep and that it is for their protection as an acceptance check off. But such is life. And in 30+ years I have seen this very same story over and over again, rinse and repeat many times to my benefit.
students using their devices to play games, check and read their social media, watch movies listen to music, generally not paying any attention in class have lower grades! Wow what a discovery! Next they will figure out sleeping through classes or not showing up does the same thing!
Wonder what the cost for this earth shattering research project was.
I agree the ability to visualize things is a critical skill. And interesting, imaginative child play pops in to my mind. As a child I had a very limited # of toys including American Bricks, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs and an Erector Set, I know I am old;) And most were just items I could use to create other pretend things with my imagination to play with for hours. Along with things I made in the garage on the farm when not doing chores. I used to ride my bike to the dump to collect old electronics to take apart and collect parts/components to make other stuff.
Do some kids today have to many pre made toys/devices/game consoles/experiences to develop a good ability to visualize or develop a good imagination?
I see that many professionals might be able to use basic programming skills to be more efficient and productive. But most programming tasks require basic logic, math, reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. The very skills many entities in our education system are failing in their attempts to teach. Not to mention the drift away from the 3 R's and the moves to gender and social focus points of our educational curriculum I wonder what percentage of individuals have the core foundation to even absorb how to write code.
Both points are true, I have written software with add/access/change/delete/origin workstation tracking, activity/before-after data archiving, notifications and other recording of audit/oversight information. And know that there are means to track most db query activity.
So then the question is, if the policies, procedures, audits and oversight are in place. How can this be something which can be part of the social engineering, bribery tool box they use multiple times against large entities? Or maybe this activity is being exaggerated.
I wonder if they are real or just photo shoot mock ups. Since I thought I read something a while back about the design for new space suits running over budget and years behind.
They may only know who if their software tracks the user id doing a SIM card swap but then the criminal employee could be using the log in for another employee. Or if it is a Database admin doing it directly with a query there may not be a record.
Might be, I was actually thinking more about something I read earlier related to Windows 10 Enterprise (I think) going to a DaaS subscription service where everything is run and controlled from the cloud by Microsoft.
