Comment on Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt
pineapplelover@lemm.ee 7 months agoI didn’t see any of this since I pretty much only use Lemmy. What are some good examples of all these civil engineer “experts”?

The one this poster was referring to was everyone suddenly becoming an armchair expert on how bridges should be able to withstand being hit by ships.
In general, you can ask any asshole on the internet (or in real life!) and they’ll be just brimming with ideas on how they can design roads better than the people who actually design roads. Typically those ideas usually just boil down to, “Everyone should get out of my way and I have right of way all the time,” though…

Or maybe, more specifically, how the Reich wing was blaming it on “Dei”.

No one designs roads. They put numbers in a spreadsheet and have useless meetings. I keep seeing huge fuckups that people with a PE are making.
Longer I work in infrastructure the more I don’t much care for or respect civil “engineers”. I got a system coming out now and the civil “engineer” has insisted on so many bad ideas that I am writing in the manual dire warnings that boil down to “if you use this machine there is no warranty and pray to whatever God you believe in”
It’s a fixable problem but we aren’t going to fix it.
