I think in the long term AI will be a massive market. I just don’t think it will be massively profitable. The hardware will get better, the models will be even more commoditised. It’s useful and it will get even more…
Indeed. I don’t even get what OP thinks they are getting out of this other than doubt.
Their cars and phones are still second rate. They are, however, cheap enough to be good value.
Agree. But if that’s the thinking then you need to compare vs off shore contract rates, not on shore contract rates.
Anyone who has every done any horticulture knows that being a smallholder is a terrible idea.
Like what?
Things in many ways have never been better. Yes I am optimistic.
Totally. The next step is a national campaign explaining how apple screen time and android family works. In the Uk we had a lot of shock adverts for drinking driving. The same thing with online harms would go a long way.
Sure. But I’m just not that fussed about online freedom of speech. World was fine before it and will be fine after it.
I use YouTube, but only watch stuff I SEARCH for or from people I have subscribed to. No watch next BS. If you have self control you can avoid the social media element of it. YouTube demonetisation tends to act as a…
YouTube is very mixed. Putting short form content on it was a mistake. It’s only not trash if you use it correctly. Watch some videos by some racists, you get fed videos making you racist. It has all the negatives of…
There is some okay stuff on YouTube. There is nothing stopping people reposting stuff on platforms without social media elements and with proper curation and publisher responsibilities. Most big YouTubers would love…
It’s overwhelmingly supported action. The technical incoherence doesn’t matter. What matters is being able to say “you can’t use Snapchat” and then they say “my friend xxx uses it” you can say “xxx’s parent are…
Nobody needs to use social media though. Really they should just torch the lot.
Sure, is HN social media?
8 years olds shouldn’t be using the internet.
Sounds dystopian. What kids need to learn to read is an adult to engage with them, listen to how they read and engage them on the contents of the book.
It all depends on expectations. I find it useful. The analogy I use is this. What was a bigger leap in productivity: assembly to vb6 or vb6 to Ai? I think it’s definitely the first.
This is so blinkered and egocentric. Just because LLMs are good at translating English to code, doesn’t imply they are good at many other jobs. Coding isn’t that hard, it’s just not enjoyable to most people. The…
This. Which is why evolution will work very rapidly to correct the blip.
You are missing a major driver of this. The main reason fertility rates have been decreasing is because of decreasing infant mortality. The number of children surviving to adulthood has been relatively stable until…
Ai is not investable. It is useful.

This is why I have moved all my money out of the US market. I’d rather go for the picks and shovels in Asia and the boring rule of law in Europe.
