Dedicated to Empowering and Informing the Burlingame Community

Here is a classic entry for the Friends with Benefits category.  Our Supes, in their wisdom, have passed a resolution that requires county departments to "suggest new jobs to create" if positions are cut due to the implementation of AI.  Let that settle in for moment…or three.  I suppose one could use AI to suggest the imaginary jobs, but wouldn't that be circular illogic?

Our newest supe, Jackie Speier, is quoted in the Daily Post as saying, "There was an Industrial Revolution, now there's the AI revolution….We're going to have to adapt."  How about "We're going to have to adapt exploit"?  Voila.  Fixed.

If I had told any of my former bosses over 40 years in the Real World that I knew of a way to do the same or more work with less resources, but I wanted to "create" some new positions to make up for the savings, I would have been laughed out of the building.  If you were thinking we might be moving towards Adult Supervision down in RWC, you might want to "create a new sentiment" to replace that old, tired out one.

AI verses real intelligence
