It's all about bullshitting.

So I'm reading the article which initially appears to be a story about an engineering organization and I'm wondering where they came up with someone silly enough to trust an LLM with people's lives.

Then it dawned on me that it wasn't an engineering organization at all, just a bunch of programmers with title inflation. It follows as a consequence that since they and their management don't respect the title and skillset of an Engineer, they likely wouldn't respect or appreciate their programming staff either.

The meta of this is that an audience comfortable with giving the title Engineer to programmers shouldn't really be surprised by this outcome.

I'm working on that very problem. I expect results with 2 years.
