Okay, that is what IBM has to say. Are there any credible opinions we should know about?

To be honest, I think a video would be better.

I can use the scrub bar to skip around, make it faster or slower. An AI agent for this purpose is pretty close to a scripted demo and so this gives you sort of the worst of both worlds: it almost like a video but you can't skip around, it's almost like a demo but you are talking to a brainless robot.

I think your business model is probably in making it easier for people to generate demo videos. That would be more useful. I've created those, and it's challenging.

It definitely could be foreign influence. It also could be US companies/campaigns (same thing...) outsourcing their astroturfing to other countries to save money.

Politics is inescapable. Software engineers can't live outside of them. Whether these are the team politics, org politics, etc.

I don't think engineers are universality bad/good at politics. It's just like anything else, takes practice.

When I see sub 40 percent approval rate for both parties in congress… we’ve almost reached the moment where a majority of people believe both democrats and republicans have a negative view yet the 3rd parties will remain elusive due to gerrymandering districts.

Yes, I have absolute disdain for both parties.

The main reason pilots fail is that people don't see the value.

If they did, they might have addressed many of the issues described in the report as the cause of the failures.

I'm surprised more ICE agents don't get shot when they invade a home.

Sucks when you first experience the inherent fragility of working for somebody else.
