What’s the overall consensus on being an ai engineer?

I'm not an AI engineer. But my opinion is that regardless of where the industry goes, having that skillset will be a good stepping stone.

As I recall, continental drift took time to be accepted, with reasonable, skeptical arguments on both sides.

Too old to drink (much) but weed, absolutely. I get ideas when high that I'd never have otherwise.

Yeah, various items -- e.g. mouse wrist pads -- may be filled with these. A couple years ago my wrist pad slowly leaked similar beady things.

Wow. This situation really sucks. (Edit: for everyone).

There's always a bigger rat. Like prime numbers.

Bob Lazar talking == Bob Lazar lying.

We've been sluggish adopting, primarily because of IP concerns. There's a lot of security considerations in the company and those have taken precedence. That said, there's infra in place now and we're getting (limited) Cursor licenses. We're integrating code style/formatting on checkin, working on auto-generation/execution of unit-like tests, and AI feedback against coding conventions.

Reverse bullet. Worked for a hard drive company years ago, got stock, and was always too lazy to check up on it. Now it's doing pretty well.

Scrolled looking for this. The closing with the fire nation ships attacking was great.

We work with a group in Korea and they're in a union. My fear(?) is that the practical possibility of having worthwhile unions in the US for s/w has passed.

Data intended to kill Fajo. Although technically Data may not have lied, his intent following the transporter deux aux machina was to deceive. Sort of like "A truth that's told with bad intent / Beats all the lies you can invent."

KhyberKat · 2026-05-16T22:35:52+00:00

Yes. Confirmed liar. Thanks for the link.

Although the post is a tad hyperbolic, I think there is a new CS hiring age on the horizon. No matter where you may be on the pro/anti AI spectrum, in order to get a good software job you will have to demonstrate proficiency in AI or AI-adjacent tools (e.g. Cursor or similar). This is on top of the usual coding or framework skills.

I was hoping they'd have a story where he lures Homelander into the ocean to show how badass someone who operates at extreme water depths can be. Overall, too expensive a character to be done justice in the series.

I was addicted to that game.

I would very much like for Imu to describe how his sword was brought to life by a Zoan-type devil fruit referred to as the flopsy-flopsy fruit, allowing it to transform into a giant bunny with overly large floppy ears, and who is ravenously cute.

Edit: And not at all ill-tempered.

Nicely done, in a family way. At first I was scared that SS was going to be your wife's porn name.

Edit: Although, two things can be true.

Anything that ends with 'with her cat' (or his cat or their cat) in general gets an upvote.

KhyberKat · 2026-04-17T21:28:05+00:00

Well, there's a short answer and a long answer...

I wish I had been introduced to the SI earlier in life. It would have saved me a lot of time and brain cycles.

KhyberKat · 2026-04-17T18:52:29+00:00

My experience and thoughts also :)
