Looks like a major loophole to me haha

And pay a shop to do it? Do you realistically think the average person is gonna be willing to do that? I think it's more likely they'll complain to the phone company about their bricked phone.

I also don't know enough, but is a bricked phone "fixable"? If it is, the person could do it themselves. But that's just one example. Other examples include installing unsafe OSes because social media said so. I don't think the average person is tech savvy enough to give them this kind of freedom.

You're not wrong, but users should then be held accountable if they fuck up their device. For example, if you decide to force companies to allow unlocking of bootloaders, and the user decides to flash something that they shouldn't, and the device bricks, whose fault is it?

You're not wrong. But voting with your wallet has a much bigger effect, I'd say.

Then if they're gonna whine about it, but pay anyway, they're basically saying the company can do whatever they like and they (the players) will just suck it up. So what's the use of whining then?

It's just RuneScape. Don't like it? Quit. Vote with your wallet.

And so, just give up? Well, you give up if you want. I'm gonna keep learning.

Are those people stuck into doing crane work? It's not really my fault if you can't expand your horizons

Well, we shall see, won't we? If you're not gonna upgrade yourself and learn new skills, then maybe you deserve to be left behind.

Learn to do other things. A crane can lift things better than a human. What did humans do? Learn to operate the crane. I am not sure how to make this easier for you to understand.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that in order to keep up, you need to keep learning. Learn and improve yourself. Then you won't need to worry about "AI stealing your job"

I mean it's right there, I didn't have to click on anything.

Yup, notice nowhere did I say they shouldnt. People read and infer what they want

Yup. Most of us aren't CEOs, so we don't have a lot of say about how most companies are run. All we can do is improve ourselves.

For some reason, a lot of people seem to be against that. They prefer to whine.

Nah that was just a bad CEO

Sure, believe what you want to believe. You can either adapt to what's happening, or just get phased out. AI is happening whether you like it or not. You may as well learn to use it.

Hmmm maybe you're misunderstanding me.

What I mean is "coding" is basically the grunt work of development. The real skill is understanding the requirements and building something efficiently. Tbh, I hate coding.

What tools like Gemini or ChatGPT brings to the table is the ability to create small, efficient snippets of code that works. We can then just modify it to meet our more specific requirements.

This makes things much faster, for me at least. If the time comes when the AI can generate more efficient code, making my job easier, I'd count that as "works" for me.

Why would you not?

Definitely be coding less I think. Coding or programming is basically the "grunt work". The real skill is understanding requirements and translating that into some product.

Well if it works, means that job wasn't that important, and the people doing that job should improve themselves to stay relevant.

Edit: wow what a bunch of hypersensitive babies. I swear, y'all just allergic to learning or something. I just said people need to improve themselves to stay relevant, and people freak out and send me death threats. What a joke.
