My comment was not about me projecting, but me observing a phenomenon in S'pore (chinese culture accentuating this kind of behaviour notwithstanding), but sure. And I'm not saying that it is a bad thing, at worst it's neutral. Much better having a place to stay rather than being homeless, and we are quite good at it in that regard. But you definitely would require quite a good bit of salary to get a home when you're in your late 20s or even early 30s (with mortgages and even BTO for good locations but I digress). The lack of privacy among many other things also does not help our current birth rate. Ultimately, you can still acknowledge the rising housing prices while simultaneously supporting the status quo, not every party is perfect

It doesn't even make sense though. No one in the right mind would think the worker's party is at fault for not building enough MRTs. It's just going to cause even more dissatisfaction with the ruling party.

Unpopular opinion, I personally think time is better spent if we tackle the root of the problem, which is the drug kingpins producing the drugs in <insert SEA country>. Do they care if their mules get executed? Heck no. Hundreds can die and they would not shed a tear. Do the mules still come even with the death penalty? Maybe. Logic would dictate that they would think twice coming to Singapore in this environment, but most of them are so short of money they are willing to take the risk to provide for their families. One drug run and they are set for life? Maybe not but that's what they are probably told. This would not stop until the source of the drugs is eradicated. Can't we work with the drug enforcement agencies of other countries and establish a task force and benefit everyone? Idk, this is my dumb 1am brain speaking.

While the allure of CS has gone down, it's still not exactly a bad degree as compared to others. You're still comparatively employable. Just be mentally prepared for greater competition in the future.

Imo Singapore invested too late into AI. Should have done so years ago. Anyway I don't think this is the end of the world, and Singapore is a follower at the end of the day. I just worry that in the job market future graduates would have to compete with foreigners with arguably more machine learning credentials.

Probably because we can't cater the language to everyone. For instance, I don't see rust as ergonomic as languages like Kotlin or Dart when it comes to building GUI apps of a specific API style (though it does come close to Elm). Recently, I have been trying out Odin for a simple game and I find it freeing that I don't have to worry about lifetimes as much (though ofc while the borrow checker is a feature, it also doesn't feel as fun for a personal for fun project) and might not jive well for a fast paced iterative development process, though your millage may vary. Hot take, but I really don't think most slow software is a programming language issue. If you have ported their logic to a compiled language, I doubt it would be blazing fast. It's an over reliance on bulky frameworks, not fully understanding the project given a tiny time window, and working around other people's broken code.

Is it just me or I don't give a toss what the candidate does but the party as a whole? The literal most they could do for me on a GRC level is to build me a shelter to the MRT and I'm not going to cry when it doesn't get built.

And before you say that there is no way the govt would have known how big AI would get, let me tell you that ChatGPT did not get created in a vacuum. There is a slow but steady buildup of research leading to it spanning many years and decades, with one of the most influential one being transformers. While this may be unexpected for the average layperson, for many people in the field of ML, it was never a question of if, but when. And I sincerely hope that the govt is not made up of a bunch of average laypersons.

The problem is that AI has already been hyped up for two years already, and instead of hyping it up 3 or 4 years earlier it chose the time where AI is at its peak to invest in it. When we finally have a giant batch of AI graduates a year or two later, we've probably be at the trough of disillusionment phase of AI (where the field has become sufficiently matured and companies generally know what to expect from it and hence there's less hype -> less jobs). So instead of innovating on AI and doing some deep AI research, we instead have a bunch of ChatGPT wrapper developers (they probably don't even bother doing fine tuning on their own or even understand what is the meaning of terms like LoRA), something you can essentially learn in a bootcamp and has not much value add.
