  • Okay, and the OP’s source for Elon’s success coming solely from daddy’s money and nothing else is what?

    Musk has publicly laid out that anybody can get rich writing software without much startup capital - which not only makes sense but by all accounts seems to be exactly what he did.




  • I have a vague recollection of a Canadian politician getting cornered with a great question on covid response overreach on a video call, and after everyone watching, including a live audience, heard everything crystal clear, they were like “sorry, we seem to be having technical issues, couldn’t hear the question, looks like you’re breaking up!” And then they hung up LOL.

    Nothing to see here, folks, go back to your business!












  • I think AI isn’t going to replace the upper level of programmers, but I do believe the absolute number of programmers will drop as AI completes more and more of the labor involved in coding.

    A lot of entry level jobs just won’t exist anymore, because the AI will do the typing work while a small number of people manage the AI.

    And this will apply to pretty much all white collar work - at least that’s my prediction.

    I believe that besides blue collar jobs, AI will practically eradicate the middle class, and sadly there won’t be a UBI to pick up the slack. But maybe I’m just too damn cynical.
