Every time we use AI to build code, we review it by a developer to correct/alter it. That said, the brass estimates that it still saves some amount of dev time and money due the system coding certain basic functions correctly. When it comes to the complex sections of code, where business rules are nuanced, that’s all written by human developers.
All of this is to say that companies who rely upon their tech to wholly build their tech are companies run by idiots.

China's Groundbreaking Diabetes Breakthrough—And the Global Backlash

I'm going to throw this out there, just because I know everyone here likes to make fun of North Dakota, and also because I think this is really funny.
Like other states, North Dakota decided to pass legislation that either outlaws or limits the use of AI for certain things. But the beauty is, the North Dakota legislature called out AI for what it really is -- robots. We're not letting the farking robots take over our lives.
So, the legislation basically says that robots aren't allowed to do this, or robots can't do that, but then of course "robots" is defined with just the common definition of AI. That's outstanding.

This should lead to more people leaving their churches altogether.

There is a Forbes article from January that pops up as the first result in the search for micro-retirement (and a couple other articles as well) talk about Gen Z quitting jobs and taking a year off traveling before going back to work. So a sabbatical, but not really one because there’s no employer to go back to.Remember when this great nation called it “vacation?”
But that Fast Company article that made the term go viral the last week decided to expand the definition to taking any time off. It starts off sharing the same definition at the top and then devolves into talking about sabbaticals, and then eventually just uses the term for any vacation, including highlighting a teacher who somehow takes a week’s vacation every month.

So what is the correct term for me to use for going out to Lake St. Clair for three days this weekend? Is it a Micro-micro-retirement?

Ha ha ha....
Actually the organization I fish with got booted from the Harley Ensign boat launch up in Harrison Township for not playing nice with the Jobbie Nooner crowd in 2022. Apparently we (tournament fisherman) pissed off a decent amount of money, so strings were pulled with the Michigan DNR and our applications have been turned down since.

Since when does one have to "apply" to use a public boat launch that anyone with a Michigan Rec Passport or a day pass can access? Is it because you're not Michigan residents? Or because it's for tournament events?
How much of this "micro-retirement" thing, and in particular, the application of a label to it, is really just intended to deflect awkward conversations with family, friends and former co-workers?
Since the advent of work, people have elected to quit their job (or maybe it wasn't even voluntary), and then elected to put on hold the search or acceptance of new employment. This is done for many reasons, and I even think posters on this site have done it.
Such a decision inevitably leads to awkward conversations with friends, relatives and former co-workers. "Are you working? Why haven't you found a new job yet? Have you even applied anywhere? Are you getting any interviews? How are you paying your bills if you're not working" On and on. I imagine it gets tiresome.
Hence the naming of this time as a "micro-retirement." That's my theory, at least.

It's cause it's a tournament event.
Any event with like 10 or more boats OR any events that wants to have an exemption to length/possession limits on fish needs to apply through the DNR and you need to list the host launch. Event staff will also park a trailer and the release pontoon there for 3-4 days (normally no overnight parking). I also think MI requires a published pay table, as a percentage of the money paid out as winnings goes to the DNR.
Technically it can be done, but it's just not worth the hassle of jumping through the hoops needed. It's like hiking out West for ski access at a property that's on Forest Service Land. So many things are stacked against you doing it, but if you REALLY wanted to pursue it, the chance is there.
