People say this all the time and it’s nonsense. The amount of delta V required is too large. Just launch them far enough to leave earth’s orbit and after that who cares? Russell’s Teapot becomes Russell’s Billionaire and everything goes back to normal.
I think it was Gandhi who said “the best time to punch a nazi is 90 years ago. The second best time is today.”
Sounds right, and I’m sure worried. They rolled through Kyiv in 3 days because they’re so prepared!
„They hate us for our freedom!“ eh?
It’s a little worrisome, actually. Professionally written software still needs a human to verify things are correct, consistent, and safe, but the tasks we used to foist off on more junior developers are being increasingly done by AI.
Part of that is fine - offloading minor documentation updates and “trivial” tasks to AI is easy to do and review while remaining productive. But it comes at the expense of the next generation of junior developers being deprived of tasks that are valuable for them to gain experience to work towards a more senior level.
If companies lean too hard into that, we’re going to have serious problems when this generation of developers starts retiring and the next generation is understaffed, underpopulated, and probably underpaid.
Sort of like Warhammer 40K, or perhaps Weekend At Bernie’s.
I fucking love that this sentence now exists.
Oh my god! Elon is Zorg! How did I never see that?!
