    A big percentage of so-called experts today only know how to configure some kind of hype-tool, but they understand nothing about how things work at the deeper level. This is a real challenge and a big problem for the future.

    “Don’t worry about it. Large Language Models are going to fix it.” - Some CEO, probably.

    Edit: This is the bit that so few people outside the profession understand: I’m not being paid to write it, I’m being paid to try to understand it enough to change it safely.

    Most of the time I don’t understand it well quite enough*, and chaos ensues. I would worry more about that, except that it turns out my paycheck clears either way, most of the time.
