We have news that AI code writing is now at the point where you can give a prompt in plain English for what you'd like to create, and the AI will write the code for you! This is astounding ... first, that such a thing could be done; second, that trust would be given that the code is okay; and third, how many engineers will lose not only their jobs, but their careers!

There is also news that Facebook icon, Mark Zuckerberg, is launching a NEW AI initiative to join the AI race for AGI or ASI (Artificial General Intelligence, Artificial Super Intelligence). There are so many companies competing for these "goals" like Microsoft, Google, Facebook, X, Amazon, and so on. NONE of this bodes well for our Constitution as most of what they'll create will circumvent it!

We have a lot to think about.

Thanks for your posts on the subject, johnwk!!
