I work at Adobe as a software engineering manager. I love StarCraft II and AI. When Deepmind combined the two, it blew my mind.

My current projects are a smart toilet paper roll holder that tells you how much TP you've got left and a breast augmentation outcomes visualization AI. More recently, I've built GopherGeyser, an at-home splash pad and animal-themed app. https://gophergeyser.com/

I don't see any reason that someone couldn't still enjoy working with the material with bare hands and simple tools to meditate, even with the automated stone carving. People still play chess even though AI dominates.

Because containers don't use Seccomp and Landlock and check filesystem/network calls against an externally applied policy along w/injecting credentials where needed as a man-in-the-middle, thus keeping the secrets out of reach from the LLM?

I can tell you why NOT Zerg. Zerg you have to do too many actions. Select the hatchery, select larvae, choose which unit to build. That extra select larvae step is a problem.

Huh? ARR has been monotonically increasing. Maybe you mean the ARR growth rate? Yes, that has been decreasing.

I haven't tried PDFCraft, but I'm willing to bet it isn't going to handle tables as well or offer signing.

Those customers are already pissed off, yet record sales every quarter. This will be great to offer this diminished experience to them until they start using AI to do all of their editing.

It's deep with a small number of very loud people.

AI (GPT-Sol-6:xhigh) isn't even capable of using Altium to re-layout a board without introducing a bunch of problems by a user who isn't an electrical engineer or familiar with board layouts.

I think "The Church" (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) is trying to keep Pornhub from publishing stats of how many ~people~ ~righteous Church members~ Melchizedek Priesthood holders are whacking to "cosplay porn" and "lesbian porn".
