  stats published elsewhere show experienced programmers loose productivity using these new tools because they have to debug and fix things.

  I think such tools work better for inexperienced programmers who are making small code stuff, like school assignments and self teaching, or need a skeleton made to fill in later.

  The problem is that this is not where the big money is at, so a bubble and questionable actions have occurred trying to capitalize on it.

  Are the agencies that will cease to exist soon just trying to troll people now?

  Or is this a shout for help saying they actually can do new and innovative protections, if only they are not disbanded?

  This ssn protection has been years denied.

  The button may “evolve” to be clicked on accidentally because of placement or appearance.

  And once people get used to the button, who knows what is next? Watch ads before results shown ?

  I know it’s tempting to think the same thing in human history, that has always happened, will happen again.
  Surely this time will be different

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insider: Tesla Is Breaking Tons of Rules Elon Musk May Slash Under Trump⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think in normal times Musk would have had pushback, and investigations. And it’s shocking to read, even now.

  I suspect in a few years, when comparing all the future things, this will be mostly forgotten; insignificant in the vast sea of misery tied to his name for all history .

  If he is lucky, very very lucky, Musk will have a fallout from Trump early on and that will save his name and fortune from the inevitable backlash years from now.

  If people hate him now, I faintly shudder to think of how he will be thought of later
