I mean, if intelligence capabilities don’t get meaningfully better than today, sure. Every discussion I see here is working under “when they are another order or two of magnitude better than today.” No one is saying…
That would be right wing political violence. Did you assume I’d think otherwise?
I’m using left broadly here. I myself am well “on the left” in the USA.
If there are no humans looking at the excel anymore, why is it needed? My guess is all of this office software gets replaced by stuff that looks a lot more low level and controlled by agents, and just converted to a…
You are packing so many assumptions into here about how the world works that are just wrong, I have no way to really respond. Your strongest point is “will people stand for a world with no jobs, where only a percentage…
We’ve had them for like 3 years. It feels a lot like saying “internet won’t do much” in 1996
Why would no one have underlying resources if there were very few jobs? There are many millions of people in the USA who don’t work but own things. Some don’t work and own a lot of things
Why would no jobs mean no money?
You’re right, I shouldn’t expect laws and enforcement. Let me also hire a personal army while I’m at. What a load of bullshit victim blaming.
“You either deal with it or move” do you think installing flock cameras isn’t an attempt to deal with it? If you go to council meetings and demand action, installing a bunch of flock cameras and increasing surveillance…
That’s great! You’re an outlier in the US still. Any tips for how you planned your landscape to work this way? I’m slowly trying to convert mine but have already gotten burned by not matching plants to the right soil or…
Do humans without lawns consume that much water? Have you worked on something where this problem came up in some unexpected way? Yes pipes need to be updated if a lot of tall complexes are built, but is total water that…
If you’re talking about a world democracy like the USA, the consumption gap between rich and poor effectively doesn’t matter from a climate change perspective. You could vanish the top 75% of Americans and still we’d…
In my family, about 5 out of 100 people believe climate change is even real. So ya, I think the average at this point is "I'm ambivalent, climate change may not even be real. But mostly I don't care"
If you live in a western democracy your politicians are held very accountable to the opinion and will of the people who vote. They are not kings or inherited aristocracy, they do what the people want (roughly) or get…
My point isn’t “president should be above law”. My point is that, if Trump and admin go to prison on charges that are not so strong that it sways a large portion of the public and republicans, we’re fucked. Regardless…
You have to be insane to think it is that black and white.
There is absolutely nothing that will end American democracy faster than jailing Trump. The moment it becomes clear that the cost of losing is personal jail time for you and your family, ever politician in the game has…
In 2020 they could code to decent feature specs and handle simple features end to end. They could maintain the dashboard as features shipped and fix specific valuable but straightforward bugs. At least, the ones hired…
Every single time I see an article like this come out on hacker news I have the same reaction “sure, this year”. There is still room for juniors… in fall of 2026. Will there be in fall of 2030? If your thesis rests on…
I'm curious why you think an ethics course would actually change minds. In my experience in undergrad, we had a CS ethics course, and it went in in-one-ear-and-out-the-other for 99% of students, probably myself…
You can search for more reports, because they do vary based on methodology. But the median hospital in the US makes between -1% (yes, negative, they lose money, because a huge percentage are non profits) and 4%…
Or just don’t buy shitty mass produced chain products? The non-chain restaurants in my area are significantly better than 30 years ago. So are the breweries. Dive bars have gotten more sparse but the ones still around…
Motte and Bailey. That again presupposes no one is or has done that. It’s like “I declare we need to check the batteries and maintenance!” because the previous maintenance reports didn’t show as many busted alarms as…
So much of this noise tho bakes in the assumption that we weren’t already doing voter fraud detection. If my parents are a decent gauge, this is the entire lie the right wing is trying to push: that there has never been…
