Are Wydad and Raja really that weak??? 11911

In the Monday, April 14, 2025 episode of my weekly sports show “Sports with Aziz Daouda” on Barlmane Radio, I revisited the brilliant performance of the Moroccan U-17 national team at the Africa Cup of Nations, applauding the outstanding display by the *“Atlas Cubs”*, who delivered a high-level performance in this prestigious continental tournament. I also discussed the Casablanca Derby between Wydad and Raja, held at the Mohammed V Complex — commonly referred to as "Donor" by the people of Casablanca — which has recently reopened after a complete renovation. I recalled the history of the stadium, which is part of a broad program aimed at modernizing Moroccan sports infrastructure in preparation for hosting CAN 2025 and the 2030 FIFA World Cup. I especially commented on the decision by the ultras of the two major Casablanca clubs to boycott the derby and the supposed impact of this decision on the match. I also pointed out that the stadium now presents a new face, both in terms of the quality of the pitch and the noticeable improvement in television coverage. At the end of the show, I highlighted and discussed the innovations in refereeing that FIFA plans to introduce starting from the next Club World Cup, scheduled to take place in the USA next summer. Below, you will find the link to the episode, which is in Moroccan Darija. I invite you to comment on my remarks and, above all, to share your views on the show, as well as to send me your suggestions and proposals to improve the concept. Thank you in advance!

Will AI coding replace me as a Software Engineer in Germany? 81

Will AI coding replace me as a Software Engineer in Germany? Today, my coworker showed me a Golf-Assistant app his friend built using claude code. It is fully functional, includes GPS tracking and a payment system, and it took him a couple of weekends to finish. It would take a Senior Software Engineer a couple of months to finish this, not using AI. Then he said "one day, we won't need us anymore" Will this really be the case though? Most companies use openai and anthropic as their LLM providers, and seeing the goofy mistake of anthropic not hiding sourcemap files while releasing a new version doesn't help with trust. For german companies, this is a gigantic no. Here someone has to be responsible. Someone has to pay the price in case of a problem, and the price is often high and heavy. Take H&M Hennes & Mauritz Online Shop as an example: managers illegally collected data on the private lives of their employees, this resulted in a 35.3 Million Euro fine, or Vodafone being fined a total of 45 Million Euros for two major breaches: 1-failing to oversee third party sales agencies, leading to fraud and 2- fro security flaw in their MeinVodafone Portal which allowed unauthorized access to customer eSim Profile. And these are man made errors ! What about potential AI-made errors? Most companies use chatgpt or claude as their LLM provider. So what if the AI Model made an error? Who would be responsible in the eyes of the law? Certainly not OpenAI or Anthropic Would the company itself be responsible for not having a good enough prompt to cover every single area of mistake the AI could make? What would be the extent of such a mistake? Would the company haft for not having another AI to double check what the initial AI did? If so, this would have to be an agentic system that react intelligently. How would such an agentic system look like and how much would it cost? And if the system becomes that big, how would you have it certified? tested? Could it scale easily? Does that have limits? In order for companies (still talking about Germany) to replace us with AI and 1- be completely covered in the eyes of the law and 2- follow the german standard of quality, this would roughly mean that: 1- The life cycle of the Data is 100% trackable and securely managed 2- AI doesn't make a single fatal mistake 3- There is a clear process that companies can follow to build a By-AI-Managed company and scale it afterwards 4- All of the previous questions (and many many more) are not only answered, but have specific and very detailed law texts. How long would this last? For a law to be passed nowadays it must go through a process that takes in average 1 to 2 years. Furtheremore, discussing before even proposing ONE new law text takes at least a couple of months. So would AI replace me as a software engineer in Germany? Curious to hear about how it is in your country?
