  1. What he actually says is that once AI and robots take all jobs, humans won’t need to work and goods and services will be free. People would then presumably be free to pursue higher purposes than making money. Like in Star Trek. I’m just a little skeptical.
  2. That is outrageous! AI should only push American propaganda!
  3. I got lucky as hell timing-wise. I failed out of GT twice because I was a) smart enough to get in but b) a degenerate party animal who never went to class. Fortunately I was good at computers, and in the mid-90s if you could spell IT you could get a good job (I got fifteen phone calls the first time I posted my crappy resume on Atlanta Computer Jobs in 1996). I’m also personable (really!) and can sell stuff so I turned it into a career making more money than I ever thought I would (and went back and got a business degree with a 4.0), but I’m really glad I’m close-ish to the end (I hope). I wouldn’t want to be embarking on a career now.
  4. $5T Nvidia’s market cap today
  5. Again, for now. There’s no way I’d encourage a young person to get into coding. I’m grateful my son is seriously considering trade school.
  6. That should be the title of the movie.
  7. For now. This stuff is in its infancy. Look what’s happening already with vibe coding, a concept that has existed for five minutes. We are driving on roads with cars with no one in them. And everyone is like “*shrug*, this is fine”. 2025 will be remembered (by the robots, after they kill us all) as the year this all really started (ended?). In ten years this world will be unrecognizable. Full enshittification.
  8. No thanks
  9. I think I’ve seen this movie
  10. Also on TWC: a guy who can’t pronounce Guantanamo.
  11. TWC just said the eye wall clouds are ten miles tall.
  12. Last time I looked into those they didn’t work. Clearly I need to revisit.
  13. Yeah glad I paid for it when I could have waited two days 😆
  14. I dunno, I remember thinking some of that Lioness stuff felt pretty expensive.
  15. I’ve been watching a lot of horror this month and that was right up there with what I’ve seen.
  16. Well, that opening scene was not what you see on TV every day.
  17. Focusing so much on efficiency is definitely a major driver of enshittification. Why have a customer service rep deal with one customer at a time when they can deal with three via a chat interface? Why make one good item when we can make 100 good-enough items in the same time with the same resources? And in just a general gripe: man the mobile the browsing experience sucks. So many pop ups and ads. But I’m not sure it was ever good, and therefore maybe hasn’t been enshittened. But it certainly hasn’t been improved.
