You joke, but in a way this is the natural trajectory technology has been heading. AI has just increased the magnitude of it

Player-coaches are a real thing, but noticeable because of how rare and unusual they are. The problem is that the analogy doesn't even hold up in the source its referring to.

Sure, there are good player-coaches, but there are also great pure leaders. There are also very bad player-coaches. A coach who is trying too hard and too deep to be a player when they are less "fit" (or skilled) has historically led to many problems in many cases

It's not a deep analogy. It's not saying player coaches are inherently better, but in their particular situation they want the managers to be coding.

There's not much equivalent to "fit" here, just skill, and they decided they don't want the pure leaders, they want ones that are knuckle deep in the sausage.

Good decision or not, that very basic analogy is completely fine.

Many major markets outside the US have much stronger work-life balance. Isn't that the takeaway?

But the exploits can use AI custom tools too. "Script Kiddie" is just now "Prompt Kiddie"

Although everyone might use their own flavor of "database" or "REST API", I can't imagine every layout to be unique enough to not have similar exploit classes entirely. AI isn't known for being super original after all...

Unfortunately that's when they started recording the data

The 3-year old anecdote is a bit pointless. It literally could have been a bad day. I've burnt myself out on a problem the night before and absolutely bombed simple interview questions, too. Or it just happened to be the least competent engineer at Meta. It doesn't give much information on their average employee, though

Oh totally. In general I don’t think you can conclude anything about anyone, really. Yesterday they were someone. Today someone else.

It's something that's really been worrying me these days. With AI creating literally floods of information, it's getting noisier and noisier.

Yes, not a good time to be a new author, as I well know, but you also need to go back to the title of this post "why I write" - There is a lot more to wanting to write than fame and money (which you are very unlikely to see either of)

And with AI ingesting said floods of information, there's less incentive to read as well.

Case in point, I've let AI help me write some documentation; I'd probably end up writing just as much in the end so I don't think there was much waste, but in the back of my head there's two voices now.

The one says "nobody will actually read this. I wouldn't, but I think it should be written down just in case".

But the other says "an AI will ingest all of this and give everything equal consideration, unlike most humans"

So yes, it is getting noisier, but as long as there's enough oversight and aggressive editing / cutting, it's probably manageable and hopefully helpful for our AI overlords.

Reading non-fiction maybe, but reading fiction is about escaping and immersing yourself in another world for a few hours, like gaming, and I doubt people will ever stop doing either.

Any fallout or monetary changes you could sue for, a company like Meta can probably pay for and still turn their huge profits. It seems like these companies do little to hide their shady actions at all.

The comment above is completely wrong, and Im not sure how they got that misconception unless it's an AI fabrication (although it doesnt read like AI)...

Turtle WoW had nothing rougelike about it at all. It was the normal classic WoW experience with added content. I suppose you could say it did a lot different from other roguelikes... because it wasn't one at all

While that answers their direct question, they do bring up a good point -- how often are you handing out less than 25% scores on exams? Id imagine any professor to do that to get some severe criticism that would make even a cheater pretty livid
