it's not going to collapse so long as
Over and over and over... Same words. Same fools.
Xbox has been dying for 20 years now.
I know hating on Xbox is the approved take, but Microsoft isn't going to walk away from their cut of the console market in your lifetime.
A 56 billion dollar Ponzi scheme is about to explode.
Black swan event. Buckle up folks.
If anything, the Internet has revolutionized and democratized education to an extent undreamed of in human history.
Yeah, go ahead and put "Didn't attend college, but I spent a lot of time reading Wikipedia, Reddit, and getting tutored by ChatGPT." on your resume and see how far that gets you.
There are already first-level companies that no longer require a degree for entry-level positions... Google among them. This is only going to accelerate. There will be more things like 3rd party certification programs that to some extent replace traditional degrees. Colleges can either adapt to this change, or be wiped out by it.
A whole bunch of very rich assholes want you to think that you don't have any use for an education because they are tired of paying for it and because they don't want you to learn critical thinking skills. That's why you get at least two stories a week attacking education in your feed.
You get two stories a week because the current model of education we have is broken beyond repair, and to some extent, obsolete, and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. You don't need to go away to a campus at a debt of six figures (or a cost of six figures to taxpayers) to get an education anymore. If anything, the Internet has revolutionized and democratized education to an extent undreamed of in human history. From the freely available works of the greatest minds in history to real time or recorded remote instruction, people now have everything they need for a first class education at their fingertips. It's all about personal motivation at this point. The resources are there, often at little or no cost. How hard is one willing to work to get the education? That's what it comes down to now.
The old model is going to have to either adapt to this reality, or die out and be replaced. I think some of both will happen. You already have 100+ colleges a year closing in the United States. That will only accelerate with AI now in the mix.
right, they modded me troll decade and a half ago here when I said the nations will fall apart, governments will fail, libertarian ideas will take hold. They are modding me troll today, yet it is exactly what is happening. It is possible that people are actually afraid that my comments will cause ot to jappen somehow should more people read them. My comments are not the reason anything happens, that is magical thinking by the fearful moderators. My comments are a prediction and the reality is moving in the direction of my prediction.
see, here nobody accepts my belief system, they have moded both of my comments as "troll", yet I never troll here, I always say what I mean when it comes to tech, politics and economics. To mode my comments as "troll" means to declare that I do not believe and practice what I say or maybe that I am trying to start some sort of a riot. The former assumes that I am not serious, the latter assumes that everyone reading these comments camnot engage in civilized discourse, it is disgusting really, that people deny others their intentions or agency.
any amount of government, all of it makes me sick to my stomach, that is all I have to say on the topic.
Correct, government shouldn't be running services, this is up to the private individuals to satisfy needs at an agreed price. Years ago here I said that at some point in the 21st century we will see collapse of the government structures, we are observing it now. The next logical step is to have all services, no matter what they are to be done privately if needed. This is what I am rooting for, I am hoping to see it in this life time.
fuck ruzzia, fuck all ruzzians and triple fuck everyone doing business with the. Hopefully their scourge of s country collapses and breaks into small pieces and everyone there gets ass cancer of the 5th degree and dies a horrible death.
Also busses, tractors and combines and all sorts of farm equipment, everything that could be looted from businesses and homes was looted. Hundreds of thousands of children were kidnapped.
ruzzia is a scourge, always was always will be, unfit to exist on this planet.
Every time I say it here, I am moded down as a troll, doesn't change the reality.
it's unlikely even they are dumb enough
Russian's are happy to deliberately contaminate their own people, rivers, lakes and forests with nuclear waste. They fly nuclear powered cruise missiles over their own land. They leak weaponized anthrax in their own cities. They have solders dig and occupy trenches in land they know is contaminated with nuclear waste.
What could possibly make you believe the Russians would hesitate to spread yet more nuclear waste around in Ukraine if they thought it would bring them some military advantage? In all likelihood this damage to the confinement shell was accidental, but I don't know, and neither do you. What I know with absolute certainty is that Russians don't give fuck number one about the consequences of this, deliberate or otherwise, whether they eventually occupy the land they hope to or not.
As I said, ruzzia is a scourge https://f6ffb3fa-34ce-43c1-939d-77e64deb3c0c.atarimworker.io/comments.... unfit to exist on this planet. It akways was a scourge, always will be. Same with islam, by the way, muslim brotherhood is coming for all of us, not just ruzzian zombies
