Stock prices down or revenue down? The former would do very little to support your point.

1) Everything you've listed has finite demand, so cannot provide the 10,000x. 2) Robotics cannot drive costs to zero. Robots cost money and require maintenance.

Not necessarily true. There are non-human bottlenecks to productivity, like energy, land area, available raw materials, etc. You're assuming humans can find ways to meaningfully contribute that do not bump up against any of those const

Go only looks like that in toy examples where you have one method calling a bunch of libraries and services. If you are writing actual logic, the error handling is preferable to exceptions IMO, because no project even uses them correctly. N

Pretty much all major languages have all of those features save hot-reloading, but that only even makes sense for UI written in an interpreted language.

Maybe as a society we can take some of the productivity gains from AI and funnel them into moving teaching away from scantrons and formulaic essays. I want to be optimistic.

That's a lot of words to say "people".

And who is the owner of the crypto wallet in your example?

When that ceases to be the case we don't really need to worry about how our economy is organized.

I think your mistaking the philosophical basis of parents comments. Maybe a more succinct way to illustrate what I believe was their point is to say: "no matter how complex and productive the AI, it is still operating as a form of capi

a superior is kind of a loaded way to say "executive" or "company's leadership".

Capitalism. Squeezing out that productivity for the company instead of the worker ensures your company has an advantage over competitors, either via reduced cost or higher margins. Pretty much all anti-worker outcomes are just corporate com

The most competent engineer I've ever worked with, the only one I'd consider 5x+, was fantastic at cross team collaboration.

Wasn't intending snark. I figured it was a goofy way to point out the flaw in your implicit position that emigration data would be more meaningful than the survey. It still might be, it would just depend a lot more on laws and the mark

Almost no one from North Korea emigrates to the US. Conclusion: North Koreans are very happy.

Lets say you have an api bug where you are allowing clients to ask for data with a very expensive query, and you want to dissallow that behavior. I think it makes more sense to change both the api spec (remove the endpoint) and the backend

That only works for China's domestic market. As long as the IP they are "taking inspiration from" is protected in the target markets, they effectively lock themselves out by doing that. In the case of technology like RISC, pr

I mean China's push for open weights/source/architecture probably has more to do with them wanting legal access to markets than it does with those things being morally superior.
