Companies want to look good to share holders, in an already bad economy. Layoffs+ai investments looks like a solid plan to increase value. Now we have articles like this, also pushing false narratives about AI, to suppirt a socialist/c

Even the so-called experts on climate change, like Bill Gates, have given up on it.

In Many ways, Jobs was just like Elon Musk. He fired people left and right (check out any documentary about the apple days). Politics rules everything. You can be liberal and literally get away with murder. Gates was hated from 2000 on and

While output may have been part of it. It's possible that by staying later (and working longer), they had better relationships with upper management. "I used to get my work done on time and leave" This sounds like you just wa

These same people also wanted to keep it medicinal, so if they kill a family while under the influence, it's not counted as under the influence.

It's funny how many people Jobs had to fire during this period, but is still seen as a good guy to many in the tech community. Not that different from when Musk took over Twitter.

Layoffs happened not because AI replaced workers, but because they are investing in AI.

It always seems like the people on the right are almost always correct on calling things like this out early..and ignored as a conspiracy theory by the left, until it's far too late. The EU was known to be a privacy rights nightmare fo

Sites like ChatGPT will eventually replace search. I already use it 50% of the time I would have used Google.

How will this ever be possible? Do you think it will ever be able to keep up with generations of people not working? The cost will exponentially increase over time and the systen will eventually collapse. You also won't be able to keep

"that matched leading U.S. models at a fraction of the compute cost." I use DeepSeek reguarly. It's still behind all of the major US models (I don't think it ever 'matched' them), but I use it because there are

These hacking groups are usually amateurs with terrible opsec. It wouldn't take much to cripple their infrastructure.

I remember all of the discussions on the Internet (and HN) about how software and video piracy isn't theft. Now that AI is doing the same thing to many of the same people that supported it (IE: taking in large amounts of open source an

It's a win-win for the company to say layoffs are due to AI and not their mishandling of the company: reduced head count, which increases the stock price and getting on the AI bandwagon, which investors also love.

"Men/Boys need to understand what responsibilities they have, if they choose to have a child. They also need to understand the effects that having a child has on a woman's body." This will only reduce birth rates. I have

The main issue is that we can't really joke around anymore, without someone being offended (and then convincing a mob of people to destroy your life). It sucks the fun out of pretty much anything.

Where you get your satisfaction matters. Is it in the end product? Or the journey producing it? I've been writing code for 30 years. I welcome AI. It brings different challenges and can reduce the time needed for the end product.

Are the 1.5 million people that signed, contributing more in taxes than the billionaires they want to tax? I doubt it. What will happen when the billionaires pick up shop and move to another state (which already happened in New York)? Will

The Biden administration blocked a buy out, which would have solved this issue before it happened.

I honestly don't know who is using Craigslist these days. From 2000-2010, I found many of my jobs on Craigslist. These days, it's completely dead.

At some point, all actors and writers will be AI. Val Kilmer is already in a new film post-death using AI.

I agree with this. One of the issues is that they are quiet. I've almost been hit multiple times on the sidewalk on my neighborhood, because a kid was on an e-bike.

The problem we have now is that there is no accountability in spending. Insurance companies over-charge for everything. Single-payer just exchanges the insurance companies, for the government. There's still no accountability on cost an

The difference is that US companies at least have some level of accountability. When the actual government runs your models/data/site, there is none.

Not everyone has a bullshit job. If I stopped working for even a couple of days, people would notice, and I would eventually get fired.

I graduated in 2006 in CS, and I had at least 5 or 6 software development classes. We also had electives, which included DB design and algorithms. Many of the higher-level classes allowed us to use any language of our choice as well. I was

It's no secret that being social will help you become in fluent in any language you are studying. Too many people just want to learn online/without social contact, and never get beyond an intermediate level.

This is the part most people don't understand or intentionally ignore. It will accelerate inflation and 12K will be worth even less than it is now. The natural progression of this is always government price fixing, which always ends up
