Glad I could help, but if the solution is "good culture" and culture is made by managers and C-levels, and they're not doing it, writing blogs that are, effectively, saying "good management makes people productive" is so obvious that it hardly seems worth saying.

What might be more pointed, instead of pointing to the "useful effects of good culture" why not have actual tactics on how to reform or remove bad management and preserve and expand good management?

Using AI can open up topics you couldn't work on before.

I think you're blaming tools for what are other problems.

No carpenter ever said "I used to plane wood by hand and carve magnificent pieces, now that I have an orbital sander and power tools, the love just isn't there".

I don't buy this argument at all.

The devops ppl talked about culture too. Seemed not too helpful.

Afaict toxic managers and C-level managers make for bad culture.

Now what?

So, the poster said unsupervised companies will surveil to gain an advantage.

I suggested Chinese companies aren't unsupervised, but are in fact state owned and very supervised (Chinese state surveillance is well known).

You point out that surveillance is also a profit making business/product (flock).

You could point to google, meta, and AI as emerging or profitable surveillance tool products.

Does that mean Chinese products are engaged in free market surveillance and not state directed?

"Pixel 11 series is a lot more expensive for an incremental improvement to the CPU, the same underpowered GPU and reduced RAM for the Pro base models. They finally caught up to the last generation of Qualcomm cellular radio. It's overpriced, the upgrades aren't impressive and losing MTE is appalling."

I guess that's a thumbs down then?

I think Chinese companies are all joint state owned enterprises or similar.

You mean "no surprise" or you mean "surveillance tool found in ocean of surveillance" or both?

The LLM did not require them to ignore their code. That's a choice they made.

They made choices that made them dumber is what I'm saying.

The rosary is a meditation practice of mystery meditation interleaved with prayers.

Same benefits as meditation.

I used to meditate, but I find praying the rosary to be as effective for me.
