You are the first person I have seen who actually bought into that line of bullshit. It is probably more accurate to say that /. has no active developers and will just keep rolling with their 25 year old Perl scripts as long as they work.

It might work. I might not. But it is a possible solution to a problem that we have no idea how to fix, and there aren't many other solutions being floated about.

If you think the problem starts and ends with LLMs, then you're fooling yourself. This is about automation, and LLMs are just a part of that. What do we do when we have fully autonomous trucks? Do you know how many people depend on truck driving for a decent income? We're already working on having robots unload those trucks, manage warehouses, etc.

If something can be automated for less than the cost of a human doing it, that thing will be automated. We've known this for a long time, but the panic only began recently because LLMs threatened white collar jobs.

Did you ever ask yourself why you ask stupid questions as a way of trying to defend the most corrupt president in U.S. history?

I'm not sure that you had a point in this garbled nonsense of a post. The only thing you achieved is demonstrating that you're functionally illiterate.

It is creepy as hell how quickly you freaks coalesce around you fallacious talking points.

There is no contradiction. Trump Mobile hired a cheap third party incapable of doing the work properly and failed to ensure that the work was adequate. That does not absolve them of blame, that places the blame squarely on Trump Mobile.

It says something that you assume that just because Republicans have traditionally argued that state rights are fundamental to their platform that somehow Democrats were ever anti-state rights.

The problem with the Democratic policy positions is they have nuance and idiots do not understand nuance.

There are many different cultures among the wealthy, just as there are many cultures among the poor. So culture is not the distinguishing factor, as you originally claimed. Wealth, however, is.

Reliable spelling is pretty irrelevant, especially in the age of spellcheck. Phonics is about READING. Understanding Latin, Greek, French, and German will certainly help with advanced etymology, but you don't really have to know the history of the bi- prefix to understand it means "2." Learning multiple languages is always a great advantage. . .but you want to teach reading in all those languages with phonics.

Whatever criticisms you have of phonics, I challenge you to cite an alternative method of teaching reading that is equivalent, let alone better. Empirically, no other method has been able to effectively teach reading.

You keep using the word "culture" when you should be using "wealth." There are plenty of highly successful schools and students in dense urban areas. They are the ones with money.

You're being obtuse. Reading advertisements also involves reading. That doesn't meant that a person who reads a lot of advertisements will develop the reading skills necessary to understand a complicated technical manual or a dense work of literature.

If I do addition and subtraction every day it doesn't mean I understand calculus.

I do not know why you equate a nonprofit entity with amateurism. Nonprofit defines the tax status of an organization, it does not define their professionalism or (despite the name) profitability.

There are legitimate criticisms on can make of the EU. None of that negates the fact that the U.S. is descending into a fascist oligarchy.

How do you enshitify shit?

Most bigfoot sightings are bears with mange. They lose a bunch of weight and walk on their hind legs. Look up some images of bears with mange and you'll see that 1) it's an extremely sad sight and 2) they look like bigfoot.

Mange also explains the smell.
