Some people do, and those people are homophobic Uber drivers

Vote out the Republican fascists actually abdicating responsibility. Dems can't do anything when they don't control legislature. Don't end up bothsidesing the last sentene when the rest of your comment is about the iffectualness of Trump and Republicans

Not so much THIS report, but you can't trust any data that the Trump administration puts out after all the blantant corruption. Remember the Sharpie on the hurricane chart?

Public parks should not be developed on for the sake of the community. We need wild areas.

He's a massive massive thief that people who have stolen far less from a convenience store have gone to prison for. The man is a villain.

Raccoons at least have some sort of intelligence. Leeches are a better animal comparison IMO

A “blip” that we have to take their word on, though the relative jump from the 1 prior year wasn’t as high as this one. Bad stats juking

> Our thesis is that the cost of producing code is heading towards zero. AI isn’t coming for our jobs, it’s coming for the mechanical parts of them: syntax, glue code, and the tip-taps of keystrokes. The parts that are less interesting, less challenging

The cost is heading to 0???? Do they not pay for Claude, Anthropic, OpenAI? Have they not seen the sudden price increases? Hosted locally LLMs still have electrical and server costs.

Hope they get sued out of existence for this by Illinois. The biodata stored and used only serves authoritarians.

We're planning for Q1 and don't have requirements yet for features, but are expected to have detailed estimates ready... This has happened before AI, this is happening after AI. The problem has rarely been "it takes too long to build ". The problem was "what do you want me to build? wait, no, not like that. now we must iterate"

Everything is vague to you. All you're doing is concern trolling for monopolists

How is going back to a policy that used to work "vague and unactionable"? It literally had been actionable.

Nah, it's really just Republicans doing all the corruption these days at the SUpreme Court. Unless you can provide some decent examples of Democrats. You seem to be bothsidesing the issue when McConnell stole multiple seats.

No, they provide capital. It's the workers who provide value to the company.

You're not pro-union if you still spout anti-union propaganda. You spent more words arguing against unions than you did for them. I'd say your first part of the sentence is probably more of a rhetorical trick than anything close to true

Any amount of power a labor union could have pales in comparison to what employers have over you as an individual.

AI proponents are saying it will take away all knowledge jobs. How is being permanently unemployed something that doesn't matter?
