Also, recall CaptainDork's famous corollary: "For every smart mother fucker out there with a computer, there's smarter mother fucker out there with a computer."
I remember when "AI" was defined as, "indistinguishable from human."
"... Turing (1950) [wikipedia.org] addressed the problem of artificial intelligence, and proposed an experiment that became known as the Turing test, an attempt to define a standard for a machine to be called "intelligent". The idea was that a computer could be said to "think" if a human interrogator could not tell it apart, through conversation, from a human being."
Now, the definition of AI has been hijacked because the computing industry knows full well it cannot manufacture a goddam computer that will commit suicide if Facebook is down.

I taught myself how to code because, goddamit, I was interested in it, and I had a natural aptitude.
And, you're right...
Once I went that direction, I lived and breathed it and paid my dues in mental frustration that comes with learning anything well enough to be a fucking top dog.
Meanwhile, one of my (6) brothers learned to play the guitar, write music, sing like Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce and Jimmy Buffet, etc. and is a semi-pro.
He can't navigate Microsoft Word and I can't carry a tune in a paper bag.
This coding shit is the "you gotta be an engineer" equivalent of the mid 60s.
The needle's all the way to the right into to lala land.
Republican town halls are now security risks, and desperate California farmers, who took to heart: "California does not have a drought," are worried they're losing migrant workers.
The press is the enemy of the state now.
I peek at the the orange guy with a tater on his dick, but I, too, avoid the stress and go fishing.

YOU are.
HE isn't.
An abstract class is offered at an art school.
I gotta think of everything.
{B = "4"} {"may the with you" = B}
They didn't say, "programmer." They said, "engineer."
...
"Write a function to check if a Binary Search Tree is balanced," and "What is an abstract class, and why do you need it."
I got nothin'.
Yeah, privacy is like pulling teeth.
Mod +1, Insightful
... I was interviewing a lady for a clerk job at Mobil Oil, where she'd be doing data entry.
I was looking for:
1.) Dedication to accuracy and detail
2.) Willingness to work overtime
3.) Ability to get along with others
She was a single mom who was hungry to work; liked people; her children were almost grown, so she had the time.
SHE FLUNKED THE GODDAM TYPEWRITER TEST!
Typewriter? I told HR I didn't have a goddam typewriter -- test her keyboard skills.
Nope.
That was in the mid-Dilbert years at Corporation.
... by then.
I doubt that.
Also, recall CaptainDork's famous corollary: "For every smart mother fucker out there with a computer, there's smarter mother fucker out there with a computer."
No entity is smarter than its creator.
God told me that.
I'd show you, but he used Snapchat with 20s TTL.
And they should call somebody.

Quantum leap much?
"Americans have the right to bear arms, but not the right to use them" ~ © 2017 CaptainDork
The right to bear arms is revoked for felons, the insane, and the tenants of some state-sponsored housing.
Additionally, the legality of a firearm discharge is determined by due process.
In other words:
Agree.
I'm old, OK?

AI is a vacuous buzzword that sells.

Meanwhile in New Orleans:
Police Chief Michael Harrison says one person in custody and that he is being investigated for driving while intoxicated.
Correct, and Jesus was not white.
Sorry, poor undereducated batshit crazy white American Evangelical Christians.
And he wasn't born in December.
And you can save 15% or more on car insurance.
I get this all the time.
When I do, I hit mother fuckers like you with eight links from other fact-checking sites that support the same position as snopes.
So fuck you.
Agree.

How many people use Cloudflare and don't even know it?
And, by your logic, people should build their own OS from scratch, complete with ring zero hardened security and no telemetry that calls mommy ...
... the maths:
Seven Film Studios Want 41 Web Sites Blocked By Australian ISPs [about 20 ]
Know what's smarter than seven film studios and about 20 major ISPs?
20,268,164 Australians with a goddam computer.
All of this is bullshit.

I like it.
Immigrants, LGBTQ, Obamacare recipients, foreign travelers, reporters and other world leaders don't live in echo chambers.
You do.
