One of the seemingly more realistic situations I have playing out in my head right now is that as AI starts taking jobs (Artists, Programmers) certain industries manage to successfully lobby the government to make AI…

I'm a self taught programmer that's starting to advance in my career and would like to offset my stack overflow education with technical books. I've really only read novels though, where I'm just there to have a good…

We don't have any more struggles recruiting than anyone else right now, but the languages we use are considered pretty boring at this point. Those of us already here would be happy to start writing new stuff in a more…
