_this_ is the Judgement Day we were warned about--not in the nuclear annihilation sense--but the "AI was then let loose on all our codez and the systems went down" sense
So it turns out that AI is just like another function, inputs and outputs, and the better you design your input (prompt) the better the output (intelligence), got it.
Perhaps you're a testament to why we actually want "managers who are also engineers" in these roles - for exactly cases like these, where you have the experience to know what "done" means.
I think you're taking my example a little too literally there... it's an example. The point is to save the reveal (spoilers?) till the end so that you can relate to the story more.
That's exactly why it's written this way -- to devoid the reader of any prejudice
and humanize this tragic story -- because it is tragic. If it was written "normally", like "Elvis' Grandson Ben killed himself, and here's why..." some people might hand wave it away as just another "poor little rich boy story". This is also probably one of the reasons for his suicide (IMO of course). I mean, he's Elvis' kid he couldn't possibly be unhappy, right?
As to whether or not this is appropriate for HN, I'm also not so sure... but I enjoyed reading it.
Don't worry, by the time this kid's old enough to even care, he'll be unrecognizable. If it's any consolation. I cannot recognize this kid as anything other than a "kid". Good looking kid for sure, but still a kid.
I think prolific in this case is more the "Super Whizkid DJ Creates 100,000 Tracks in a Week" sense -- not in the sense that you may or may not have heard of them...
I maybe mistaken but I believe you can create additional aliases under the same account -- I seem to remember doing that a few months back when I got auto-updated to Google Workspace.
I wonder how much this plays into your being left alone and not being challenged by your co-workers. My guess is a lot. I'm sure the cachet of being an "Harvard Guy" has deterred many from even trying and simply assume you know what you're doing etc.
