"that money doesn’t buy happines" I think people get this meaning wrong all the time. The love of money doesn't buy happiness. Having money can definitely make your life easier, an…

"with apparently ZERO ability to get any kind of skilled job ever again" Unless it's a criminal record holding you back, I really don't think this is the case. Since 2012, I know l…

"If there’s a robust public healthcare and UBI type system in place to pad the fall, people will bounce back and adapt when industries break down." This would be great, in theory. …

Day trading is gambling. Of course a large percentage will feel like failures.

We want more efficiency, not bloated tech teams spending more and more taxpayer dollars. DOGE was heavy handed, but the cuts still needed to be made. It should have been done in a …

"And… hand coding is still not dead. It’s immortal, actually." This may be true in a hobby sense, but companies making money will want you only coding with agents. This is 99% of d…

"The only way to get as close as possible to "good" healthcare is to have enough money to pay for everything out of pocket." This isn't possible. Healthcare is a finite resource an…

"The White House does not plan to publicly release its new framework for evaluating advanced AI models, three sources familiar with the discussions told Axios." While I understand …

Even if DeepSeek is better than the American models, I won't be using it unless there is a flat-rate monthly plan. This is only real way it's useful. If not, the cost outweighs wha…

This also happens as taxes and regulations sharply increase over time. California is a good example.

We all should be in the same 'class', but some people will be paid more for a job that takes intelligence or years of study. The older I get, I realize some people never change, wi…

It's a short-sighted way of reducing rent. Landlords (which doesn't just include billionaires) continue to have all of their costs increase through taxes, regulations, and maintena…

The direct result of the data centers will be the destruction of more jobs in the future and a harder economy for everyone. The data centers in years past meant more jobs and oppor…

This is a great usage example for AI. Early cancer detection is another.

Many people with no skills are taking advantage of the LLM craze to artificially inflate their own value. I see it every day on LinkedIn. People that previously have barely any exp…

I'm working on a security-related AI cert. It will lead to a direct increase in pay, once I get it.

Anyone bringing god and AI in the same sentence has no understanding of LLMS.

The first step will be licensing current actors for AI-generated movies. Eventually, we may not ever need real actors anymore, but SAG will most likely put a stop to it. Most union…

"It did have a moreish quality that could trigger compulsive redosing for some users, but it was also easy to get." What an odd way of saying that it's addictive.

I've seen this all over the news. It served its purpose.

"The API is priced to make the servers pay for themselves in 10 months - since a server runs for 3-5 years, everything after that is profit." The Chinese government has deep pocket…

It's like the token companies are getting you addicted to a digital drug.

If I consume 1-2 canned coffees a day (which is around 300mg at most), it takes me around 7 days after I quit to stop getting headaches, body aches, or mood issues.
