"augmenting, not replacing" has been my go-to line for people who are anxious. There is no real meaningful discussion taking place about replacing people, it's just about augmenting people.
Thinking about the problem incorrectly, there is no software field that is AI proof nor is there any about to be completely automated. Even manual QA jobs still exist and I find manual QA folks to be really essential at most orgs still. All software jobs will be impacted in some way, but in the sense of creating new tools to accelerate productivity, not replace people altogether. The journey with AI is largely collaborative with humans, not replacing humans
Most introductory deep learning courses are very clear about how far the analogy goes, if people are interpreting it as something more I don't think it's the fault of practitioners/educators and more the fault of people's imagination and selective hearing.
there's always people working behind the scenes that are under recognized by people in those types of channels, I think people who work at integration points between departments usually get the most props
They lie to parents and misrepresent the school usually. When parents go to visit everyone is acting to some extent. That being said it's usually narcissistic parents with money who are looking for an easy solution. There were quite a few fairly famous children there. Most of the kids there had issues for sure, including myself, but it was still in the realm of normal teenager issues.
I went to a similar school called CEDU, same protocol for getting students there, same abuse. Elan school was actually actively contacting current students parents of CEDU right when it closed down to get them to come to Elan. Most of the people I went to CEDU with are broken or dead. There are more schools like this, they just close down and start again. I'll plug Daniel Yuen's name here, he was at the facility with me at the same time and ran away and is still missing 18 years later
Side note, Kit Carson, who is oftentimes celebrated as a folk hero, was responsible for many massacres of indigenous peoples and displacement of them. He was never really the schemer behind these atrocities, but he was one of the US governments best trigger man when it came to this. It was very odd considering he was married to a Mexican woman and had indigenous wives at other points in his life.
if its taking 10 seconds to rebuild then I doubt the bundler is the problem, I get near instant updates on changes with a fairly vanilla react/webpack setup
