I studied computer and electronic engineering, I am currently learning PCB design, and I recently joined a startup (which, for better or worse, is very well-funded). They hired me as an engineer, but since the company is in its early stages, there isn't a clear corporate structure yet, and everyone tries to do a bit of everything to help out.
However, I've noticed that—while it's understandable they don't have a background in electronics or computer science—they genuinely think they know what they are talking about just because they have Claude open on their laptops, ready to back up their nonsensical arguments. (Yesterday, the CTO, who supposedly has 20 years of experience in IT, asked me what SSH is and why we use the network instead of Bluetooth... has this guy ever even used a computer?). It is unbearable. They ignore my advice and force me to execute tasks that make absolutely no logical sense, simply because "Claude said so."
How can I make them understand that Claude doesn't actually reason like a human, but merely follows the conversation thread and generates text based on probability? Obviously, I can't say it to them exactly like that, but I honestly just want to scream at them to stop relying on Claude and start using their own brains.
P.S. For the record, I use Claude and several other AIs myself. They are incredibly powerful tools, and anyone who denies that is wearing blinders. However, I strongly believe that the critical thinking must originate from the human. You need to know how to guide the AI, not let it guide you—otherwise, it just outputs garbage.

I didn’t realize until after I passed the class that the required textbook was just a later edition of the one my dad used in the 1980s, and that my dad had the author as his EM fields professor. Just thought it was cool.

V1.3 brings a huge gain in performance and scale 😄 making it possible to build circuits like an 8bit CPU

My professor made a claim today that students 30 years ago were just more top notch. They couldn’t just look anything up at a moments notice and because of this they were forced to internalize things. Is this true? I would be curious in looking at exams and projects from 30 years ago and how they compare to today? Does anyone have any anecdotal evidence to support one way or another?
