  • Given the info in your original post and that, I’d wager one of three scenarios.

    A) Most Likely: Your supervisor is just using an AI chatbot to handle day to day stuff and possibly checking in on you and others every so often to ensure work is being done and things aren’t being derailed. Could only speculate why they would do this, either being lazy or having a lot of other tasks so automating where they can lets them spend more time on more important things, to them at least.

    B) Less likely: Your supervisor is just a very eccentric and formulaic person who functions on a near identical schedule as your own in terms of sleep and activity, possibly being made supervisor of the team because of their talent and HR/Management wanting them to train up more so they don’t everything and thus become irreplaceable should they take a vacation or otherwise unable to work more. Plausible in a tech/developer field though extremely unlikely, as this kind of person is exactly who’d I’d expect to setup an AI client to interact with their team and save them time.

    C) Unlikely but possible: Your supervisor is entirely an AI. Financially doesn’t make sense to have multiple person team being overseen by a bot that could possibly complete all the work on it’s own and would only need someone to monitor it’s output for consistency and function. Hiring multiple people to take orders from a chatbot seems a hilarious waste of resources if your field is not entirely testing products someone else created.




  • Military grade is moniker placed on different types of gear and equipment to denote it was ‘militarized’ for use in service, or so the idea.

    For most equipment, this means it was ruggedized, or in more laymen terms extra layers of plastic, rubber or some inexpensive material to make the item more resistant to shocks, drops or other potential trauma one might expect when used by soldiers in potentially hostile environments. The catch is the companies that produce these militarized equipment sell them for 5-10x more than what they should cost.

    In the civilian world, people think military grade means top spec, latest and greatest. In the military world, military grade usually means it’s tough but it’s also a decade or more behind in tech and performance with very few exceptions. So if someone is trying to sell you military grade goods or worse, surplus, it’s guaranteed to be overpriced crap that at best is going to survive a few more bumps than what a normal, civilian version could.

    Millenials are a significant portion of the paying gaming audience. Most of us who game don’t have a lot of free time and probably don’t have kids.

    So game developers viewed the trend over the last decade of what sells and honed in on a generation of gamers who grew up gaming and would be in their mid to late 30s.

    Two major flaws is none of those examples had the potential to be highly profitable. And all three of those had major ethical and morality concerns that the general public wouldn’t approve.

    AI is being packaged and sold as a toy, so while people do object to it, it’s not the same scale of playing god or literal war crimes.
