Fair. I am not sure if people working at AI companies is a good measurement for this, as they have a personal stake in their claims. Maybe I am just morally corrupt enough to entertain this idea, but people working at AI companies overexagg

The real skill is “problem-solving”, not “doing lots of specific manual steps that could be automated and made easier.” Unfortunately, some people confuse the two and believe they are paid to do the latter, not the former, simply because ot

Agreed heavily. I am still mustering up the energy and trying to dedicate time to actually read Infinite Jest. In the meantime, I have been reading DFW’s short stories, and they are fantastic. I heavily enjoyed the one about playing tennis

Every time this argument comes up, I just feel like rolling eyes, it is so overplayed. Yes, in a direct confrontation and an all out war, the populace stands no chance against the US military (assuming the military will unwaveringly side ag

Fair, but YouTube is imo one of those services that seems pretty fair about price increases. Disclaimer: pricing is regional, so I can only speak for the US pricing (as that’s what I personally dealt with). It was $7.99 on launch in 2014 (a
