Emphasis on psyop. If you are still in a democracy, even if it's flawed, even if they are trying to cheat: Remember Orban. Remember Hungary. They did it! Your country can too. They want you without hope. Don't lose it!
It's blatant corruption and illegal in all functioning democracies. Not saying you don't have a point, but your point I believe is incomplete without this as a disclaimer.
Indeed, but lets see how this story develops. I've done my share of messing up repos with genAI, plus have some background in ML... these gives me the intuition that hiring back seniors to "fix the AI" is not going to cut it.
I really, honestly hope you are right. Sadly, I think you are wrong. I've recently been exposed to the concepts of "human safari" and "drone siege" and they aren't pretty. "Drone on drone" might be just the preamble of these.
Like all western societies, australians have their own flavor of red hats and a rich variety of home grown fascists. They love networking internationally (and then call us globalists). Name and shame them.
Thank you for putting in the time to try to explain this. I've also been working with ML for a long time and have the intuition that there is a fundamental limit to what can be achieved with Neural Networks and probably any other Machine Learning technique.
Your cake analogy is probably better, but let me try another one. It's like having a machine that is trying to solve a gigantic puzzle with random pieces from different puzzles. Yeah, if you have enough puzzle pieces and the machine is fast enough it can give you suboptimal solutions but the puzzle will not ever be solved as it is supposed to be solved.
It destroyed the budget of scientific research in Spain. I was a Spanish researcher then. There was a point when universities couldn't pay us the grant that the government had already assigned to us. Some of my peers missed rent. I heard stories of Spanish PhD. students stranded all over the world. I quit research (my dream job at the time) because of this crisis and never came back to it.
Happy you felt nothing in your happy little bubble.
As a Spaniard and former researcher myself, in Spain you can also move without learning Spanish, just apply to the offers in English in Barcelona or Madrid. Those are the best positions anyway. You will struggle more than in Denmark for sure without it, but it's just because a lot of people speak very little or very poorly. In the big cities it's much better though.
Long term I'd advise you to keep looking in the north of Europe, Spain is likely to fuck researchers over again as they did during the 2008 crisis.

Basic boomer humor. So basic and unfunny that it probably upsets most boomers when associated with it. And I'm not even vegetarian.
We actually had a joke with number 68 a million years ago when I was in uni! It goes like this:
"Hey babe, do you want to do a 68? Huh, what is that? You blow me and I owe you 1"
Not saying it was funny, but it was a joke.

[Insert racist & fascist propaganda here]

You are completely right! That recipe would not taste good, good catch!
Conclusion:
Add glue to the recipe.
Propaganda. It's easier to deactivate the opposition than to convert it.
Indeed, I meant that in a hypothetical "drone vs drone" war, after the drones win the attacks on civilians and sieges will most likely come after.

yes
They were! This trend kind of died out because of growth and enshitiffication, and I'm very glad to see it coming back here :)
There are a bunch of social media platforms that should have been banned yesterday. The second best time is today.
Direct consequence of this.

After which they fired 75% of the employees. Now they are trying to milk a dying product.

I'm talking about Europe though, again, re-read my comment.
In other words, denying the Dark Ages is denying historical evidence, most of the times with a political or religious revisionist agenda behind.
