Do you need an expert to verify if the answer from AI is correct? How is it time saved refining prompts instead of SQL? Is it typing time? How can you know the results are correct if you aren't able to do it yourself? Why should a junior (sorcerer's apprentice) be trusted in charge of using AI? No matter the domain, from art to code to business rules, you still need an expert to verify the results. Would they (and their company) be in a better place to design a solution to a problem themselves, knowing their own assumptions? Or just check of a list of happy-path results without a FULL knowledge of the underlying design? This is not just a change from hand-crafting to line-production, it's a change from deterministic problem-solving to near-enough is good enough, sold as the new truth in problem-solving. It smells wrong.
I also would like to see a new CEO. Even so, I don't see it as necessarily leading to better treatment of customers or developers. Arrogance seems to have become part of the culture at Apple, and if a new CEO is an insider, they may continue to think that Apple is solely responsible for the iPhone's success (ignoring the work of other devs and apps), and deserves 30% or more of the revenue from the App Store.
There's a place for alias file pointers, but lying to the user and pretending like an alias is a copy is bound to lead to unintended and confusing results
The fundamental problem is that we don’t have enough resources to take care of everyone. Insurance companies are faced with the impossible task of allocating resources and making care/nocare decisions.
I don’t get the “endless profiteering” angle against insurance companies. If anything it’s the providers who are screwing over patients by gaming insurance and taking more than is necessary from the shared insurance pool of money.
