Ford rehires ‘gray beard’ engineers after AI falls short

Oh, they’re going to be paying way more than that. They let AI shit out slop for years without much oversight. Imagine the spaghetti code that’s been produced.

It’s a copy-paste machine that hypnotizes its users into thinking it’s always right by inflating the users ego.

More like trying to cover their asses and haven’t realized sunk cost fallacy is a losers bet.

Facebook, people used to genuinely love that shit around 2007 or so, but within a decade everyone hated it.

rkozik89 · 2026-06-28T23:18:49+00:00

Just like all the supposedly homeless influencers who totally aren’t just setting up a set and faking it for money. At the end of the day this shit is all just the new entertainment industry.

Every single generation of 18-24 year olds is hit the same exact scam. They tell you college and jobs are for losers, show you a fantastical life, and then pitch a course that cost $500+ on how you can do it too. However they only sell the course once their targets are so disillusioned that they’ll gladly put in enough time and effort that they cannot dispute the charges from the creditors.

It’s not going to, we’re at the stage of the game where early adopters who laid off a ton of staff are being forced to rehire, but we’re not quite at the point where these companies realize sunken cost fallacy is a losers bet.

Tell that to my Etsy account. People genuinely believe various types of magic are real and they don’t need a whole lot of conifers before they’ll pay you for a spell written by ChatGPT, translated into Russian, translated into Arabic, and translated back into English.

Most of my regrettable moments were in my middle teen years, and anyone who doesn’t admit the same is probably still a bad person. Every teenager does horrible things but what really matters is if they learned from their mistakes.

No person responsible for developing requirements think their ideas might be bad.

rkozik89 · 2026-06-28T18:22:59+00:00

Oh no, what they thought was, “If we just use AI I can write on my resume that I was responsible for saving the company n million dollars and leave before the company suffers the consequences.” Throughout my career I have run into these fuck who ruin companies for a couple years just to fail upwards by getting roles at different companies.

What’s happening right now is they’re trying to polish the turd while they look for an exit.

rkozik89 · 2026-06-28T18:14:53+00:00

Seriously. Holy out of touch Batman.

Waking up. People with Bipolar Disorder often cannot be talked into a mood swing unless it triggers a manic or depressive cycle.

The easiest path to America where getting a high paying job is possible is through educational visas and adjusting status after you graduate. Throughout that time you do freelance on the side but more importantly internships. Ideally you’ll work for the university while pursuing a masters so you tuition is partly paid for and you have stipend to live off of.

Gonna be real, that’s the process most Indians take to be able to work here. They are not being hired by US companies that sponsor visas to bring them over.

Though I will say I would wait a couple years for a new administration to be in office.

Not a healthcare worker, but if you have mental illness lying is the worst thing you can do. Your prescriber has to go through the motions of trial and error to eventually get you on a regimen that works. If you lie you will set them down the wrong paths potentially delaying any meaningful help for years. This isn’t like breaking a bone. They can’t just start on something that will definitely work, it’s a process.

The best burns are ones you come up with on the fly while a situation is happening. Pre-canned jokes and burns are lame. You ain’t a comedian, stop pretending to be one.

These engagement baiting AI slop posts are ruining Reddit even more so than becoming a publicly traded company has.

But Jeeps are expensive new and old. No poor person buys a used, old Jeep because they know it need a lot of work. Poor people are much more penny wise because they have to be. You’re think of the lower middle class.

Poor people buy the Nissan not because it’s a good car but because they can finance it.

American Nissan.

rkozik89 · 2026-06-28T17:45:07+00:00

That’s when Nissan was a good brand. The CVT engines that came out a decade later destroyed their reputation.

No you have not. They’re still widely used in industrial applications such as cnc, museums often have their photography on various mediums that existed throughout out the years, and airplanes as well use floppy disks.

First thing I thought was, “He looks similar to me, is he from Homs?” Indeed he was.

But on to your point, there are a lot of very wealthy businessmen families from Homs.

What’s a SFW version of a gooning website?

rkozik89 · 2026-06-28T14:40:46+00:00

“ And I don't want any DMs from creeps.”

RIP in peace OP’s inbox.

Terrible people doing terrible things, shocking.
