Comment Re:Here are some whingers on being replaced by AI (Score 2) 44

I would expect that the oldest and best paid are also the most experienced, and presumably the hardest to replace with AI.

Enshittification: They don't care if the AI's work is inferior to a human's, up to a point. As long as the AI is cheaper and the loss of customers, viewers, listeners etc. is less than the money saved in wages.

OK, it was supposed to be about Panasonic but, I have three Samsung products, a TV that I'm watching a movie on, I like that it has a couple of HDMI sockets, SCART, and both RCA and optical audio outputs, and two monitors, the 20 years old one is a lovely 1600x1200 screen, the 17 years old one is the wide screen format.

Yeah like you said, 20 and 17 years old, but enshittification takes its toll. Let's see if equivalent Samsung products bought today are still performing as well in 17 and 20 years time.

If they're using Rapamycin they are probably targeting senescent cells, and there are other options such as Quercetin and Berberine which when used together may have similar effects.

Both those alternatives are available over the counter as supplements whereas Rapamycin is a serious prescription anti-cancer drug. If I was experimenting I know which option I'd try first.

Also if you are an English teacher from a country that has some disputes with China, you run the risk of being arrested on trumped-up charges to be used as a diplomatic bargaining chip or a human shield. Australia has some experience with this.

It is 14 years since the Labour party were last in power, this is, not coincidentally, exactly how long it takes people to forget just how incompetent that shitshower can be. Brace yourselves.

Ah, but the conservatives were in power until only recently and we can easily remember what a shitshow they can put on. Brexit anyone, COVID?
