    What faith? I never made the claim you're attributing to me. Smug idiots like you are wrong all the time.

    "Nobody knows how we think, yet." Then how can you confidently say we don't think 'like' Transformers/Attention/Statistical models/etc/etc?

    I read this and can't help but chuckle... To say that we are nowhere being able to have AGI is quite a bold statement. It was after all only a few months ago where many people also…

    Employees can and do work part-time. What a silly 'diss' lol.

    For an employer the fix is simple: Each year fire the 10,20,30% least productive employees.

    Wow... So like magic? Why aren't all successful businesses already doing this if they can get more productivity for less time?

    If workers were more productive working less hours you wouldn't need the government to do anything - businesses acting in their own interests would do this automatically. The gover…

    As an employer there are plenty of jobs that I would be perfectly fine allowing the employee to work 20% less, as long as they cost me 20% less.

    I understand that this is the narrative, but show me what markets specifically. Even if ownership is 10%. That means 90% of homes that are bought and sold are NOT to foreigners. Th…

    Typical - print 100s of billions, when assets inflate blame x, y or z. How about Justin explains how foreigners owning 2% of homes in Canada has ANY impact whatsoever on prices?

    It's interesting to me that, generally speaking, both Uber and it's drivers are fine with the way things are, entering into a mutually agreed upon contract... Only to have people w…

    Walmart only makes less than $7k per employee. They have 2.2million employees. Regardless of the common narrative - they simply can't afford to raise all of their employees wages b…

    The question you should be asking is why have the prices outpaced the minimum wage. Protip: $30 trillion has been printed and spent in your name.

    And so prices will have to go up... Which will increase the cost of living... which will cause the prices to go up.
