>>"An attorney who represents himself in court has a fool for a client."
I'm in a years-long lawsuit in my state's small claims sessions court (as plaintiff, jurisdictional $25k limit). It's petty and essentially just two old men yelling at clouds ["on principle"]. Nobody is in a hurry, and the timeline has roughly followed ChatGPT's rollout (albeit completely unrelated) – the tech just keeps jaw-dropping.
What started as a years-long disagreement, eventually became a small claims lawsuit pro se AI, counterclaims/insanity/&all... and now we both have attorneys representing our interests ($$$$$).
I still use a local (offline) LLM to field my rudimentary legalese into better questions for my human attorney (which saves a litle $$). Together we three have squashed all counterclaims, including a counter-lawsuit (that probably I could have managed with AI, alone, but was much more natural/comfortable not representing myself). Very grateful for both my attorney and accountant (as a blue-collar electrician).
My hope going forward judicially is that some sort of amalgamated lawAI platform can better increase access for laypeople to our already-overwhelmed judgeships, like SCOTUS Roberts wrote about in his end of 2023 Judicial Review. There needs to be attorney-client privileges extended to LLMs, definitely achievable offline (until inevitable IT fail/hack).
While I generally agree, we've already reached a point where an ID is required to purchase pseudoephidine and/or facemasks.
And all the copper is already locked up, requiring an associate to help you while you loiter minutes lazenly under dozens of facial-recognition cameræ.
If you are choosing to still attend college, my advice would be to get an A.B.E.T-accredited degree, to fall back upon (I have a non-BE science degree from a prestigious US institution == essentially worthless).
Being an engineer vs. being an engineer tech is a substantially life-quality difference.
But only if you choose to attend (I would not re-attend).
Necessary but not sufficient: My aerospace engineering degree is from an ABET-certified school. However, I skipped the class (and test) that puts you onto the track of being able to call yourself a professional engineer.
I would also suggest looking at the ABET certification interval for different campuses. It was a point of pride on our campus that we had a longer interval compared to the more established campus. We got the longer interval because ABET trusted our program to not need constant supervision.
Exactly. Most 4-year engineering programs are accredited (but definitely not all).
Rougly speaking, it cuts the professional experience requirement in half, and makes the entire process of becoming a P.E. (professional engineer) much simpler (not easier).
There are multiple field tests, including the Fundamentals & Engineering exam that allows you to 2x your eng.tech. experience.
Developer also recommended (tongue-in-cheek) to use Microsoft's built-in encryption services (easily defeated) in his outgoing blogpost — perhaps because he was barred from explaining the real reason for project's cancelation.
And of course Faulkner (The Sound and the Fury) and McCarthy (Suttree).
I'm not a big fan of William (he definitely has place in history), but Cormac is best fiction author alive in my lifetime (Steinbeck is best of 20th Century).
This will reduce the healthcare expenditure, per capita.
A great counterexample would be the USA — which despite the highest global expenditure, per citizien, has among the lowest life expectancies / healthcare outcomes.
The US does not have "among the lowest" life expectancy. We're just out of the top quartile. And that has less to do with the quality of American health care and more to do with obesity and sedentary lifestyles. I expect with the more widespread introduction of GLP-1 receptor agonists you're going to see a jump in American longevity.
Everyone in the US has access to healthcare. We have programs that cost little or nothing, depending on your income. Beyond that, we have EMTALA, which means the ER can't turn you away even if you never bothered to sign up.
