@dgar 2000 I was 4 years into an IT career, no no.
@dgar I'd even be happier if folk would remember the Y2K hype ... and had learned from it.
We'd probably be better off now if there had been a few more computers borked at the time.
@dgar True statement!
@dgar Maybe, just maybe AI will kill just the computers and not the humans. Just like sawing off the branch it's sitting on. Would be nice. I wouldn't miss them either.
@dgar Sorry, my bad, partly
@dgar
Y2K38 is coming...
@dgar maybe LLMs will break all the computers
i have good news and bad news for you
the good news is Y2K is not the only bug/ poor planning/ genuine limitation built into our computer-based time keeping
there's another one coming
the bad news is you have to wait until 2038
