Alright, most of us agree that a 4 day work week would be nice. However I think Bernie is missing the more concerning implication of the shift towards AI in that itâ(TM)s a large transfer of wealth to a handful of tech companies. OpenAI and Anthropic will be getting paid rather than the salaries that were previously paid towards skilled labor workers in writing, marketing, software engineering, illustration, designâ¦and numerous other fields. Humans are terrible about considering the long game.

It makes sense, LLMs are great at transforming information but not coming up with the information itself.

I already feel bad enough for not seeing the friends that I have often enough. I donâ(TM)t have time for fake AI friends.

Pump and dump for the already wealthy elite

This is what happens when the CEO to worker pay is so skewed. People used to be able to make a living to support their families on. Amazon would rather maximize profits than improve the conditions of their workers.

This exactly. He needs to keep the stock price up.

Name some names, what brands should we avoid ?

Name some names. I want to know what brands to avoid

From what I have observed the majority of millennials and younger donâ(TM)t recreationally read.

Ehâ¦more of a hatchback Iâ(TM)d say. Def not a sedan though.

AI makes for a handy assistant just like spellcheckers are for writing but youâ(TM)re never going to eliminate having a developer involved in creating code. The quality is just not there, it makes up methods that donâ(TM)t exist, doesnâ(TM)t write idiomatically and is only aware of languages and packages that existed at the time it was last trained. It will often fail to handle breaking packages updates and just fall over when you try to refine the output to accommodate it. The tech is promising but right now the cost to run and train those models is not sustainable. From a pure energy in/ energy out perspective human brains are are far more efficient.

It was a measurable thing back in the day. Most sites would go down within minutes of getting Slashdotted and people would put mirrors up so we could see the content.

Same, I gave it a whirl but I switched back to Fira Code Retina when I discovered it didn't have ligatures. Not having ligatures is a deal breaker.

Iâ(TM)ve been coming here since the late 90s, I still visit the site daily. Itâ(TM)s not what it used to be but I still enjoy it and there is a sense of comfort that itâ(TM)s still around.

They could go back to using glass with aluminum bottle caps which is far more sustainable.
