Infosec = "No worries"

21% chance robots will take my job.  I assume it will happen just before they make their move to eradicate all humans.  Either that or I will be enslaved to protect them from the viruses we human scum make in retaliation for the first attacks.   :hmm:

I'd like to know exactly how "Technical Writer" can be looking at 89% probability.   It's English, not Mathematics.

No worries  :bowler:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
