You cannot have a functioning economy or political system when there are billionaires because they no longer are accountable to the market or the people

Vibe coders are so insistence that the rest of us adopt their shitting tooling because they need other people coding slop too to justify their lack of effort. If programmers keep u…

Such a dystopian nightmare we live in now. The US is cutting our actual healthcare services to subsidize this shit so billionaires can become trillionares while the rest of us suff…

Check the wages of coders outside of the US

It you take of the rosy glasses, it is more like 10 hours saved per-month at an unsubsidized cost of $1000/month The $100/hr is worth it for US programming jobs, but nothing else

Yep, bulk of AI usage is generating marketing emails

Measuring productivity by number of words written per day is as useless of a measure as number of lines of code written per day

So the rosy biased estimate is OpenAI is saving 1 hour of work per day, so 5 hours total per-work week and 20 hours total per-month. With a subsidized cost of $200/month for OpenAI…

It is the lack of regulation that is the problem here. The power company is incentized to make higher profits year around by not preparing for a disaster.

All it takes is a simple tiny change to the user agreement and then OpenAI will start training on this user data and most people won't notice in time to switch their toggle off

Permanent Housing is the only solution. Shelters are at best temporary to survive a cold night, but they are not a solution for a sustainable life.

What are you talking about? Homeless shelters are full, wages are the lowest they have been in decades, and US health care is the most expensive in the world

What a diaster of a response. The war on drugs was deadly failure that we should never try again.
