I already knew companies were paying 300k for AI talent. People that think this is going away are wrong. This is literally the second Internet. Get on board or get left behind - period.

When salaries in a specific field like this have a spike of this magnitude, I am quite confident that within a few years, Certainly a decade or less, The market will be flooded with buzzword babblers who create code which barely mimics (if it even comes close to aligning with) the actual goals of the company or the boss or any customer or any person who will ever use that code.

Not to mention of course that they will then need to hire developers to support the mess that was created.

What c-p said. A lot of us are old salts here. Some of us very old salts  We've seen the magic bullets come and go. I have to think hard about this - back in 1986 sort of, I saw a demo of hell, some sort of development platform for application development. It was like Visual Studio. It was impressive the level of productivity boost the tool suggested (I'm wiser now). I expressed this to the tech sales guy and he laughed at me. Then he apologized and explained. All of their experience was that if you bought a tool to roll out projects faster, the customers just wanted more.
Since then, I have seen this to be a truism.
I think once the panic of not having AI wears off, people will actually sit down and start to look at the real data. Why did our bug counts triple? Why can't we do incremental development (something ALL projects need to think about) any more? Why is the software team so damn stupid etc.
So far, I see AI collecting data to do art, deep fakes and the like which will likely lead to legislation. We're already seeing the legal issues pop up. Sorry, you CAN'T use my intellectual property...
Me? I have so much side work to do, my biggest problem is deciding if I want to do it. AI won't help me.

Or AI Owners asking for legislation that prevent reverse engineering their product... so they get everything available in the net, but noone can touch theirs?

So do I, and I am starting to like when the side work is offline and no PC related.
And I am not old salt... just middle aged active engineer.

From the CodeProject news letter
Microsoft shuts down Cortana app on Windows 11 - The Verge[^]
Following is the part that makes me wonder what it might mean.
"Microsoft is now working on Windows Copilot, a new sidebar for Windows 11 that is powered by Bing Chat and can control Windows settings, answer questions, and lots more."
I suppose that isn't much of a problem if it means changing the desktop background color.
But what if it also allows one to turn off the firewall?

With AI ALWAYS being correct, The answer will be -
"Sure Dave, just click on the button at the bottom named 'Update'. It will take you through the steps to switch off your firewall.
Remember that I always have your best interest at heart, Any updates is however very safe, especially with your Firewall disabled."

Heh, my year of the Linux desktop was about 10 years ago (man time flies). Windows 8 is what got me to start using Linux as my main OS. I do keep a Windows VM around for games that won't work under Linux, the occasional photo editing session and for access to a financial site that requires Edge.

Will it lock people out of their computer to give them some time to reflect, in case they're not PC enough for Microsoft's standards, like it terminates conversations in Microsoft's mobile app?

I didn't think so. I got it in about 3 minutes, but long after the game ended.

No - a poor brain at my end.

Hello Codepojectens, it's been a while!
So here are two conflicting views on smoking:
1) If you want to smoke, that's your business and not for others to tell you whether you can or can't (as long as you do it such that if affects no-one else), and
2) Smoking should be banned, for the good of society and also for the good of the poor victims of an addictive drug.
As I get older, I'm able to think back to freer times when people really were genuinely freer to do what they want, like the teachers who used to smoke in my classrooms. They were also free to use physical violence in the case of bad behaviour. Happy days! I suppose we have 'progressed' more from 1) above to 2) or are at least heading there.
The problem is, to my mind, these mutually exclusive ideas about smoking are both valid and worth defending to the hilt, which also means I don't have a valid standpoint on the subject - the logic is broken. It's fairly rare for me to be not able to reach some conclusion, even if the conclusion is flawed or just wholly incorrect.
Tricky, and for context I've dithered in and out of nicotine addiction (mostly in) for the last 25 years. Vape time.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I largely agree - personal responsibility seems to be a thing of the past

Probably because most people ignore the "responsibility" part and focus on "personal".
Take mobile phone use when driving, or DUI: People who do it don't think about the effect on others just their own wants and needs. Coercion is required because personal responsibility isn't even considered.
Smoking is the same: my parents both smoked, and sometimes it was difficult to see out the window on the other side of the car due to the smoke level. To protect the children it's now illegal in many places - but you still see people doing it!
