If we had AGI, the number of jobs that would be at risk would be enormous. But these LLMs aren’t it.

They are language models and until someone can replace that second L with Logic, no amount of layering is going to get us there.

Those layers are basically all the previous AI techniques laid over the top of an LLM but anyone that has a basic understanding of languages can tell you how illogical they are.

I do as a software engineer. The fad will collapse. Software engineering hiring will increase but the pipeline of new engineers will is dry because no one wants to enter the career with companies hanging ai over everyone’s heads. Basic supply and demand says my skillset will become more valuable.

Someone will need to clean up the ai slop. I’ve already had similar pistons where I was brought into clean up code bases that failed being outsourced.

Ai is simply the next iteration. The problem is always the same business doesn’t know what they really want and need and have no ability to assess what has been delivered.

Long before they’ll ask on their own, they’ll learn about it in school every and ask you questions prepared by their teacher about how it affected you.

That’s that the position for American libertarianism’s.

I don’t particularly hate taxes because I like my government services well funded.

Bold of you to assume they’ll use Java and not some obscure language picked based on the need to pad their resumes.

I like weed but hate taxes.

Google would still own android and may not be inclined to keep chrome as the default. That is a significant portion of the browser’s user base.

With default search engine agreements being threatened, it may shake out where Google and Firefox agreed to make Firefox the default android browser in exchange for keeping Google their default search engine.

We suffer today because we allowed the right to strip away workers rights. Entire generations have been convinced they are better off without collective bargaining.

Everything else is pure fucking noise.

Globalization is the excuse they use for why unions are bad but there are tons of jobs that cannot be unions with terrible wages so clearly globalization is not the problem but it is a very convient excuse because we get to blame Those People.

You’re still relying on making this personal. You aren’t at pure of thought as think yourself as you mouth these well established platitudes.

The idea I am discussing here is a pure libertarian stance on commerce and I understand why you are unable to label it correctly as the American Libertarian are just anti-tax morons who are too embarrassed to call themselves republicans.

The government should not be protecting industries via tariffs. Trump supporters love tariffs and agree with your stances therefore you are a Trump lover.

See how easy that was to paint you as something you likely are not? It’s far easier to label people so you can dismiss them than to attempt understanding a perspective that conflicts with your own.

The raise your child to use a device appropriately. Waiting until they are a teenager is far too late to form the appropriate habits around self limiting screen time.

I get that no one wants to blame the device but this is clearly a parenting issue and I say this as someone who has on average raised far more children than anyone in my generation.

But go ahead and lean into the articles that blame on the evil algorithms and the evil corporations. Personal and parental responsibility is hard anx blaming outside influences is easy.

Raise your children or someone else will do it for you.

Yes, that’s exactly why I’m for allowing countries that can do it cheaper to import their goods. It’s cheaper for everyone.

No one is owed a job, using the government to project jobs and profits cost us all. It is corporation socialism sold with the slogan, “think of the workers” – the fact that the right pushes for this agenda is a huge fucking red flag. They pick and choose the workers they pretend to care about and every single time it’s because there is a huge opportunity to extract profit from labor.

I think the peoblem here is I understand the world more than you. I didn’t use such a silly appeal to make my position because I use logical and you used feelings and insults.

So I wasn’t sure if you were an asshole, but based on this comment, I’m am not certain you are.

I say this because it’s fun for me and I’ve been taught to speak at my audience’s level.

It’s pretty clear the issue here is you. Specifically, your reaction. The solution to than can only come from you. The world will not bend to you and the world is not responsible for making you feel certain things, that’s all you.

We don’t want Chinese dumping their cars and leading to the loss of even more manufacturing jobs in North America and Europe.

Who is this we, here? I want this. The people employed in these manufacturing jobs are not people I am concerned about.

When China gets bored with subsidizing our economy, we can spin up new state of the art facilities.

We are being sold a lump go fear, uncertainty and doubt around this stuff by the people who profit off these industries.

13? How many of their friends have phones because I would assume their using phones, just not one you gave them and I know from experience other parents do not do the most basic of filtering in their kids devices.

It’s a technology sub and I’ve been around long enough to know this is where the morons of the internet hang out but not everyone is as aware of the pattern.

A modern day equivalent of “we don’t own a tv”

If China is subsidizing the vheicle and we purchase them here, that means we are drawing from China’s subsidies.

The claim is this is to save industries but the notion that was need to save specific industry is never questioned.

We’re told we’re protecting jobs but that’s bullshit. We’re only protecting the profits of capitalists.

Whomp whomp. You get what you pay for.

Whereas they have to treat all men as though they are their worst iterations just to be safe, and that can be frustrating and confusing and they also know that it’s hurtful to treat men who may not be terrible that way.

It’s more complicated than that. They have to treat men with unearned respect while planning for the worse. Treating man as a threat can make him a threat if he feels his masculinity is threaten he may act erratically.

To put it the other way, they don’t have to worry about managing the bear’s feelings.

Today I witnessed a group of coworkers almost bragging how little time they took after their kids were born. I’ve heard stuff like “Most men are hard working and want to support their families so they don’t take leave”.

Toxic masculinity.
