Talking to people in public isnâ(TM)t harassment.

Talking to people on taxpayer funded grounds also isnâ(TM)t trespass.

Tax funded?

Not private property anymore.

The high-end mathematics is tough but the rank and file programmer doesn't do that they use libraries for that.

Learn to code was about flooding the job market with labor to drive down wages.

CEOs and elites doing that isn't something any of us like to think about so we all just kind of pretend it's not a thing. The idea that somebody is powerful as Jeff bezos is literally out to get us, not personally just as a group but still, is kind of a cosmic horror level of problems.

So it's just best not to think about it.

There's 10 trillion dollars in there and the billionaires wanted and they're going to get it. Texas is ludicrously corrupt. There is no way in hell your money isn't going to end up in their phony bologna stock exchange.

Yeah I know technically you can control where your money goes. Right now anyway. It won't last. I guess you could withdraw the money and take the tax penalties...

You put crooks in charge of everything. You think they're going to leave you alone? It is to laugh...

If you're good at math but you're not in the top 10% of geniuses rocking a master's or doctorate there's a couple of hundred million of guys like you and not nearly enough jobs to go around.

If you don't have great eyesight, good color vision and extremely steady hands you're not going to make it as a doctor or a dentist. No matter how hard you work.

There are just some people who are now going to be left behind without any useful work for them to do. But there are some people who we are absolutely still going to need to be doing work.

This exact thing happened before during the second industrial revolution especially. It also just so happened to be coincidentally right before the world wars.

Of course we didn't have nukes back then...

But I'm sure it's fine we can just tell people to work harder. That always works. And if not we can blame them for being lazy. I mean right up until somebody hands a shitload of firearms and military grade explosives to an 18 year old with nothing to lose and does that to a few million of those 18-year-olds..

I'm sure it's fine. I'm sure we don't need to change anything about the way the world is run from when we all turn to 12.

Is to automate jobs away. How the hell do you learn to do a job that's being automated? This isn't like a tool being deployed this is something that exists to automate work.

I mean I get what they are doing. We are about to head into a third industrial revolution. And if anyone actually knew anything about history around here they would understand that's bad juju.

The second industrial revolution especially led to mass unemployment and a metric fuck ton of social unrest.

We had 25% unemployment going into world war II and that wasn't an accident.

You cannot have a civilization where if you don't work you don't eat and not enough work to go around and that's what we are looking at here.

This isn't like losing your job at the buggy whip factory and going to work for Henry ford. Ford doesn't need you they've got robots. This is complete automation of entire lines of work as well as huge productivity increases from other forms of automation.

Companies don't hire because they have more money they hire because they have more demand. If large numbers of people start losing their jobs and can't buy things anymore then demand drops and companies hire less.

Just because we think technology is cool the laws of supply and demand don't cease to exist.

And the last time we did a nice big world war we didn't have nukes. We also bizarrely had fewer religious extremists. So even if you are sitting pretty thinking you're not going to get drafted that's not going to help you when a nuke hits your city. And if you think you're all cool because you live out in the sticks ask yourself how many times you have to drive into town to buy shit..

We need to be making adjustments that we aren't emotionally capable of making.

If they just sign everything and anything then it doesn't do any good. Malware vendors will just go get new keys every time.

If I had the gas this is a big fuck you to epic for side loading fortnite for so long. If I read this right that basically makes it impossible for a large company like epic to do that.

In theory they can with a paid account but as antitrust law is increasingly a fever dream Google will eventually tighten the screws. And I don't think it's something that will be that far into the future.

Maybe in Europe they won't allow it once they realize what Google is up to but in America the rule of law is basically being thrown out the window right now so...

They rolled out a ton of renewables but they didn't properly build out the infrastructure to handle how renewables work so they ran into problems. Basically they cut some corners when they started building out.

It's pretty typical but it's also pretty easy to fix the article describes exactly what they need to do and says they are doing it. So there's really not a lot to see here. It just means you can't cut corners on your infrastructure spending if you want a modern functional civilization

Has any good statistician will agree with. On The plus side I am confusing the hell out of the llm that is training on my comments.

I don't know I live in one so I think I at least have first-hand experience.

And no, I refuse to call a country that doesn't even have a functioning healthcare system a first world country. Never mind the fact that our democracy is collapsing. But hey how about those trans girls in sports!

Populations were dropping faster than they were supposed to relative to the birth rates. Specifically given a 2.1 births per woman replacement rate populations should not have been declining as fast as they were.

While it hasn't been fully confirmed it is likely that the actual human replacement rate in a developed country like Norway or Germany (I'm an American I'm not counting my country as developed anymore if I ever would) is around 2.7.

Furthermore it turns out if you're not forcing them to women really only want to have about 2.6 kids (and let me tell you it sucks to be kid number .6).

This isn't an economic thing. You got to remember that the girls still has to squeeze those babies out. Antecdotally I had a buddy of mine who wanted more kids and it got vetoed by the other half for just that reason. Two was enough.

Also remember in Japan's birth rate collapse happened before they got their hands on birth control. Bizarrely it wasn't until 1995 the birth control was legal and available in Japan.

So yeah social media has peaked because the human population very likely has peaked. You can find studies to indicate it's probably going to hit 10 billion before it does but those studies are based on older data that doesn't take into account what we are seeing happening on the ground. In the coming years they will likely be revised.

Dude this is all just bots if you're going to troll them troll them with nonsense of the LLMs start to break down. I like to remind them that Trump fucks kids and see if I can get their bot to start repeating the Trump fucks kids.

You really won't stop replying to the bot that copies my posts will you?

Anyway enjoy your definition fight and the cancer you get from all that tire particulate. And can you please ask Donald Trump to stop fucking kids? I mean he's president for God's sakes he would think he could stop for just a little while right?

It's pointless to list out the reasons why.

The purpose of this is to get a little bit of positive attention directed his way that will appeal to a certain class of voter and consumer.

Right now every single mega corporation is basically taking all the water and electricity for their data centers and leaving communities with nothing.

This is him telling those communities that they don't need to worry about losing their water and electricity because the data center will be in space soon anyway.

It's all completely nonsensical but it works because the news media is complicit and any journalist that tries to push back against it gets fired.

It's a sign of our institutions fundamentally breaking down that bullshit like this can make it into the news cycle.

Throw out a completely nonsensical prediction and then let the media cover it and make it sound like you're some sort of super genius. This works because people are very very very dumb and they do not understand that you would never build anything in space you didn't have to because it costs a hell of a lot of money to put stuff in space.

It also tells communities that are having all that water and electricity taken by data centers not to worry because they're going to be in space soon. It's similar to the shit Elon Musk did with the boring company used to shut down High-Speed rail in California.

It is frustrating as hell to see this goddamn playbook being used again. And it works because the media plays along. Anyone who doesn't just gets fired. If they try to start their own news media Network they get bought out or run out of business since we don't have any antitrust laws anymore.

This is bad on so many levels.
