universal health care can be offered even in 3rd world countries but they're really smart about keeping costs low. they drastically cut the costs of medical service by just offering one or two generic drugs bbought in…
the AI bros would counterargue and say that with all the increased productivity, it will just open up more opportunities and thus more jobs. But, i don't think we're seeing that. Net jobs seems to be going down.
at the scale that google is at, it doesn't make an ounce of sense to hold a company liable for a potential mistruth. what if there's a 1/1000 chance of some error, then the company could be sued millions of times per…
yeah, staggering. it's utterly amazing how much people care about gas prices. i can't wrap my mind around it. I mean, would people really rather be out on the street rather than get an EV or god forbid a hybrid?
shelter isn't just a cherry picked item. It's by an far the largest spending category, that and healthcare. I couldn't care less about all the other categories, personally.

be careful with "real" hourly earnings. if they're using the CPI then it can be very misleading. One need only compare nominal wages vs nominal rents per square foot for the last 50 years to see that actual wages have…
NYTimes and the big media papers in general seem to have this entitled arrogance. Like they feel entitled to have an audience or something. I've noticed similar predatory behavior from car and driver magazine. they…
Well, usually they would never tell the person the real reason for the firing or layoff anyways. there's no benefit for them to tell you, it just increases liability.
fb doesn't actually "sell your data", they use for ad targetting and even then, the ad targetting is waaayyy off, in my experience. they're hardly getting any use out of it for targetting me.
i think it's more about cutting costs. Usually, cutting costs when there is opportunity to do so is a lot easier than growing revenue.
Didn't google say that AI had increased their company's productivity by 10%? if that's the case, then how can they justify spending 50% to 100% of wages on it?
"Deal with it" is the response these CEOs give. Well, don't be surprised when society starts to regulate or even outright ban AI and data centers. Companies will need to "deal with that".
flat rate taxes are never fair. It should be based on a per use basis. either have a tire tax or some other per mile use tax.
We've seen this before. google ceo also met with boos about AI at a commencement. It's simple: AI threatens jobs/careers and paychecks. And, we've built an entire society that requires you to have a paycheck just to…
the biggest problem with white rice is the lack of fiber, the somewhat high glycemic index, and it has the same problem all processed grains have: lacking potassium, iron and magnesium. these days though white rice and…
the difficulty of bringing produce to market is reflected in the cost structure. 90% of a food dollar goes towards all the efforts required to get food to the customer (transportation, packaging, warehousing, marketing,…
water softeners in general are pretty bad. they're not great for your health, they're terrible for your soil. and the benefits to pipes and appliances are marginal at best. i completely shut down my water softener.
not at all. the author, said he was getting his obligations done and making his boss's life easier. that's a win for both the employee, the boss and the company. why do you think it's morally acceptable for an employee…
but does it really cover all the layoffs? if a company just slowly oozes out employes via pips or attrition without rehiring, i don't think it will cover the full extent of manpower reduction. i think we need a better…
but why rehire at all? if AI is even half as competent as they say it is, then they don't need all those employees. Afterall, some of the latest models are passing the GDPW benchmark with flying colors. wouldn't it make…
Literally, what else can they possibly do that hasn't been done? there's just limited opportunity.
reversing denied health insurance claims only changes who pays for it (end of the day premiums will probably go up proportionatly), it does nothing to reduce the overall cost which is a much bigger problem.
The argument that AI guys are making about the coming mass unemployment goes like this: those companies that are spending on AI rather than humans may have a huge competitive advantage that allows them to take…
