If a company can face a lawsuit over something that is not physically addictive and you can literally turn your phone off, Google and Apple should face the same lawsuits. Weed companies should also face these same lawsuits.

This is short-sighted thinking and I feel Bernie Sanders just wants to give countries like China an advantage over the US by intentionally hobbling our tech advancements. It's already out in the world and there is no stopping it.

What if AI can find a better solution in the future?

I find it odd that PHP is so far down the list, is running on a a large majority of websites, and I see more jobs for PHP developers than many of the other languages on the list.

"that money doesn’t buy happines" I think people get this meaning wrong all the time. The love of money doesn't buy happiness. Having money can definitely make your life easier, and you can spend it on things that make you ha

"with apparently ZERO ability to get any kind of skilled job ever again" Unless it's a criminal record holding you back, I really don't think this is the case. Since 2012, I know lots of people that changed careers.

"If there’s a robust public healthcare and UBI type system in place to pad the fall, people will bounce back and adapt when industries break down." This would be great, in theory. The reality is that people would live on it and ne

Day trading is gambling. Of course a large percentage will feel like failures.

We want more efficiency, not bloated tech teams spending more and more taxpayer dollars. DOGE was heavy handed, but the cuts still needed to be made. It should have been done in a more precise manner.

"And… hand coding is still not dead. It’s immortal, actually." This may be true in a hobby sense, but companies making money will want you only coding with agents. This is 99% of developers experience with coding during the day.

"The only way to get as close as possible to "good" healthcare is to have enough money to pay for everything out of pocket." This isn't possible. Healthcare is a finite resource and having universal, government care

"The White House does not plan to publicly release its new framework for evaluating advanced AI models, three sources familiar with the discussions told Axios." While I understand the concern, most things like this are never relea

Even if DeepSeek is better than the American models, I won't be using it unless there is a flat-rate monthly plan. This is only real way it's useful. If not, the cost outweighs whatever value I might have gotten from it.

This also happens as taxes and regulations sharply increase over time. California is a good example.

We all should be in the same 'class', but some people will be paid more for a job that takes intelligence or years of study. The older I get, I realize some people never change, will always have the same backwards or harmful think

It's a short-sighted way of reducing rent. Landlords (which doesn't just include billionaires) continue to have all of their costs increase through taxes, regulations, and maintenance, while not being able to recoup any of it by i

The direct result of the data centers will be the destruction of more jobs in the future and a harder economy for everyone. The data centers in years past meant more jobs and opportunities.

This is a great usage example for AI. Early cancer detection is another.

Many people with no skills are taking advantage of the LLM craze to artificially inflate their own value. I see it every day on LinkedIn. People that previously have barely any experience in tech, now being hired in AI startups because they

I'm working on a security-related AI cert. It will lead to a direct increase in pay, once I get it.

The first step will be licensing current actors for AI-generated movies. Eventually, we may not ever need real actors anymore, but SAG will most likely put a stop to it. Most unions are anti-technology because it means more automation and l

"It did have a moreish quality that could trigger compulsive redosing for some users, but it was also easy to get." What an odd way of saying that it's addictive.

"The API is priced to make the servers pay for themselves in 10 months - since a server runs for 3-5 years, everything after that is profit." The Chinese government has deep pockets. They can probably run at a loss for a long time

If I consume 1-2 canned coffees a day (which is around 300mg at most), it takes me around 7 days after I quit to stop getting headaches, body aches, or mood issues.

If you are interested in creating a business out of it, you might want to look at ideas that will make money first and figure out the app around it. The other problem is that with only one person (you), there's only so many features yo
