"When intellectual property is no longer protected, no one will produce anything anymore "because they think 'tomorrow it will be stolen from me anyway'," "
Wrong. In fact, using AI allows people to produce *more* creative items quicker, because they do not need to worry about paying actors or unions. AI is allowing for an explosion of creativity, not a reduction. Granted, a lot of it is crap, because the "quality" gatekeepers are cut out, but the cream will rise to the top over time.

This really is the horse-drawn carriage drivers shaking their fist at the car which replaced them.

Christ in a chicken basket, this post is a perfect example of exactly what the article is saying.

A quick search on the internet will show the majority of structural engineers believe the official explanation of how the towers collapsed.

The that the towers failed because of structural damage due to fires inside the structures after impact is widely accepted.

It's true there are *some* who doubt it, but your statement that "you won't find a high-rise firefighter or structural engineer anywhere in the world who buys the official explanation for 911" is fucking false. It's FALSE. It's wrong. It's bullshit.

Can you admit that? My suspicion is that you cannot, because that is how conspiracy theorists operate. When presented with incontrovertible evidence that they can't debunk (namely, that there are many structural engineers who support the official explanation) they will pivot and find something else, or deflect. I fully expect that here.

You are LITERALLY peddling conspiracy bullshit, and you don't realize you are on the fringe. You are LITERALLY proving the point of the article in your post. Jesus Christ we have a long way to go as a society.

That is not the point of a search engine. Search engine results generally provide summaries, with a link. The point of the search is to find a list of places where you can go to read *in greater detail* the information provided in the summary. If the summary is giving you an answer to your question, great, but most searches aren't about a single answer to a question.

You must be a white guy.

I think part of this is garbage advice.
If you don't have a degree, in many areas you will simply be passed over, regardless of how qualified you are otherwise.
AI is now actively used by corporations to weed out people who don't have those keywords on their resume. "B.A." and "M.A." are still selling points, and there's tons of statistics that show that people with degrees earn more, on average over time, than people who don't. That is still true today, and it is still true REGARDLESS of the cost of the degree.
Furthermore, getting a degree is important in other ways, as you have the opportunity to be educated about things outside of your preferred field, which is important in becoming a non-dumbass-citizen.

It's not a 20-somethings job to have the wisdom to understand their parents don't have accurate information about the job market, especially if the parents themselves are employed and have been through more interviews / hiring processes than the kids. Or rather, it's not reasonable to expect they will understand this. It takes a lot for a 20-something looking for work to have the insight to understand that their professional parents, who have raised them, and who are successful (presumably) and make a good living doing professional things, are somehow blind to the current hiring situation. Some young adults can do this, but it is oftentimes asking a lot.

Yes, but the thing about these situations is the temp worker can just leave. The key to being a good temp is getting hired by multiple temp agencies. You call in EVERY DAY to EACH AGENCY until you get a job. If you end up at one that is not working out for you, complete your assignment and move on to the next one. If it is a long term assignment, and you are being treated like shit, let your temp agent know that, and let them know you plan on moving on to the next one at the next opportunity. I was always employed by at least three temp agencies. I'm probably still in the system at Robert Half after 6 years away; they reactivated me 7 years ago after being away for *10* years, and I went right back to looking for work with them after updating my resume.

Working the temp system is a skill in itself, but it's a hell of a lot easier than sending out thousands of resumes and doing useless interviews with AI bots. Let your temp agency do all that work for you.

And admittedly for me this was in tech, so in a "white-collar" area. I don't know for certain it is the same for blue-collar fields or the trades, but I would suspect it is very similar.

I have had three jobs in my career in tech start as a temp worker, and then I ended up getting hired full time. I was at my last job for ten years, after having started initially as a temp worker for three weeks. There's lots of good reasons to choose temp work rather than struggle doing the crazy interview process in the current environment.
As far as I know, that is still quite possible, and I would give that advice to my son if he were of working age. He's not, but in 15 years when he is, I'd probably give him the same advice.
It's fine to try the normal interview / job searching process, but working as a temp allows you to do that too, while building your resume, paying the bills, and getting a wider variety of experience.
Robert Half is still hiring, as far as I know.

If you want to see what happens to companies that choose to ignore or not take advantage of upcoming trendy technology, look no further than Intel, whose CEO essentially has said the race for AI is over for that company, and it's stock price and market share has dropped significantly. Apple does not want to be the next Intel, even if it has 50 billion in cash.

So, about this...
Sumo wrestlers are extremely healthy and active, at a certain age. They eat extremely rich calorie-dense food to gain weight.
When they retire, the level of diabetes and weight related health issues skyrocket. You have to lose weight in Sumo after you retire or you will die young, in general.
Joey Chestnut is 41. I would wager my left nut that this guy will experience colorectal cancer or something else horrible when he gets to a certain age, unless he switches his diet up seriously.
When he's 60, if he lives that long, he's going to have an epiphany, most likely in his own bathroom or one in a hospital, where he thinks to himself,
"I should probably not eaten so many hot dogs. So quickly."

Craigslist has operated for many years doing the same thing, without changing a thing. Challengers have come and gone, and yet here it sits. Since there's no objective definition on "Maximize profits", it can literally just keep doing what it is doing, responding to or positioning itself to deal with challenges, but why do anything else? It's a good service.

The story is genuinely fascinating not just because of the off-the-charts level of hubris displayed by Rush, but because "death by implosion" is a really weird way to die. It's very rare. And it happened on the dive to the Titanic, a vessel on which many others lost their lives. It's morbidly fascinating. If it had happened to a regular scientist on a bathysphere trip to the Mariana trench, it would be just another tragedy, albeit an odd one.

I am reading that 64% of adult Americans wear prescription glasses. And yet they are catering to the 1/3rd that do not.
This is dumb. Instead of coming up with new glasses, why not come up with clip-ons that can attach to existing glasses, like the clip-on sun-glasses I wear all the time. That way you can take them off and put them in a pocket or purse when you don't need them. Have they not tried this yet? For the 64% who wear glasses?

Perhaps it would be better if other companies do what Cloudflare does better, and at cheaper prices. Until then, there's no reason to move from Cloudflare.

Neither does MTG. It's a card game, with fantasy elements.
