The most consistent and highest paying jobs I’ve had are replacing or fixing legacy and garbage systems. I don’t think the current gen llm’s are anywhere close to being able to do those jobs, and is in fact causing those jobs to have more work the more insecure, inefficient trash they generate.

Fishermen and smugglers don’t deserve the death penalty, racist greedy fascists enjoy seeing people suffer

“Economy” is almost always corpo newspeak for wealthy people’s money. If they actually meant the economy as in everyone’s stake in the economic system the phrase “cost the economy” would be meaningless. Buy devices second hand direct from individual seller markets or older models. The article also quotes multiple CEOs but no labor leaders.

I find it gets better with practice to some degree, if I go for a long stretch reading more or less fiction I find it affects my imagination and ability to visualize with more or less detail and memorability. I don’t think it’ll bridge the gap to 5 necessarily, but it might bump a 4 to a 3 or a 2 to a 1.

Veterans of the psych wars

CEO articles most often than not are just corpo salespeople telling you about trash they are trying to push on people. They are literally paid millions of dollars by the wealth class to not tell the truth unless under oath in court or a deposition. They’re not paid for hard work or leadership, if you’ve worked in a corp setting for at least a week that much is obvious. They are paid buckets full of money to ignore or suppress their morality for stock prices. It’s obvious when it’s garbage like language models sold as agi, but the same is true for the rest of the pr vomit they feed to news agencies.

“Why does it seem like the ones who have everything have nothing inside?”

Class warfare is alive and well in the UK, the wealthy continue to oppress through state violence while they outlaw peaceful protest. If you outlaw the peaceful way that just leaves the other thing.

It’s about $42 just from inflation not accounting for decreased spending power with many prices increasing faster than inflation itself.

But clearly one more than the other, aluminum is extremely useful but not very rare and is worth about $1.25 per pound, it’s price is a fraction of gold at $63,000 per pound

Do you think most of gold’s current trading value comes from it’s utility, or it’s rarity?

If a tech executive says we’re on the cusp of a technology breakthrough it means less than nothing and we should be more suspicious of it than already. These are people who don’t know how to manage an organization based on the frequent layoffs (2009, 2014, 2023-2025 over 20k workers). People get fired because they fuck up, management layoff people because management fucked up.

Sandboxing by default and preventing Google and others from spying in and manipulating apps are good steps phone OS developers should use, but I don’t think those kind of things would help for this particular case.

Biometrics aren’t passwords they are usernames, passwords necessarily change I’m not changing my fingerprints or iris or bhole or whatever they want to scan. With how easy it is to copy sometimes bio markers vs stealing their password this would be a huge security risk if they want to use it for entry to secured facilities.
