- We might have a deeper problem here and it's that nobody knows what education is
- This is happening everywhere in all fields. And it’s being encouraged. At some companies employees are being trained to go to the company AI when they have a question. No one is considering long term ramifications here.

- And it’s not just arbitrarily executed. “Hey, you guys know Johnson, the dude who has saved our asses and is kind of a bad ass? Yeah, he drew the short straw so we have to beat him to death.” Meanwhile, etymology nerds going on “well it’s only 1 out of 10 of us.”
