I know I’m going to sound paranoid…
Sometime over the last few weeks, I did some reading on Japan’s Fu-Go balloon bombs from WW2 and it occurred to me that such a balloon with a nuke payload could be used to set off an EMP which made me think of that miniseries from the 80’s, Amerika. And this morning I’m watching the news of this Chinese spy balloon….
I’ll be over here stocking my bomb shelter and brushing up on my Mandarin.
This might not age well…
Since #CharGPT can generate code several people have speculated that AI will eventually replace programmers. I’ve made a good career building business apps in tools like Cobol, xBase (dBase, FoxPro, Clipper), Filemaker, Access, and web CMSes like Drupal, all tools that were built to eliminate the need for programmers, yet ironically created more developer jobs then they eliminated. So I’m betting on the potential of #ai #developer #people #jobs .
