Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

This is (will be) the real damage... the disruption of the intern→apprentice→intermediate→journeyman→senior software dev/architect pipeline. I mean, companies in general have always tried to shirk their duty (IMO) to take on mentoring, always pushing educational institutions to give them raw meat who can 'hit the ground running'; "AI" now gives them a new way to avoid in-house training and long-term commitment to their current and no-longer future employees.

The law field is already facing this. They took on many specialized tools to replace clerks and people hired to search case law. The people normally hired to do that work were the future lawyers hired by those very firms. The total pool of candidates to hire from shrunk and now they're having to fight over the reduced quality of candidates to keep many of the firms afloat.

Fewer trainees == fewer qualified hires in the future (duh).

It's back to a Tragedy of the Commons all over again. With all firms hiring and training lots of young lawyers, there were plenty of people to hire in the future. Then, each firm stopped training as many themselves to save money and get a personal advantage, which leads to a smaller future pool to work with for everyone. Rinse, wash, repeat across the industry and now there's a crisis.

This actually opens up an opportunity for law firms who want to mentor lawyers all the way up from new-grad. As they will not experience the lawyer shortage as they-themselves trained them. You can even reach into the pre-grad pool by giving paid internships, then giving interns you like offer letters contingent on them graduating the following year.
