   your ai boss isn't going to bend rules for you, and isn't going to advocate for you. You can see how an ai boss would go by looking to amazon warehouses and drivers, or call centers, and how those folks are managed. It's al

   I have no expertise and am prepared to be quite wrong, but I wonder if llm's would be good at listening to a session, and/or a doctor dictating, and putting the right stats in the right place, and the dictated case history into a

   I figure if it can replace devs, any job that types is pretty much at risk, and we will all be in such trouble that there is no point in planning for that scenario

   I think it is from the business side, rather than the software side. The business side's goal is to obtain a monopoly and extract rent. You can see it in google search getting worse so they can show more ads, you can see it in Apple&#

   you are hardly steel-manning something with a comment like that If you look at minimum wage purchasing power over time, it peaked in about 1970, with about $15-equivalent 2025 dollars. That tracks fairly closely with purchasing power having

   My crank idea to fix both of the issues you mention is mandatory national service. This would provide everyone a common ground, similar to how widespread military service in wwii did. It would promote civic virtue by exposing everyone to h

   I mean, a relatively easy fix to a negative replacement rate (at least when you have a well-run, wealthy, attractive country) is immigration. Replacement rate isn't a problem when you let more folks in

    Way I figure, or what I worry about anyhow, is most of the well paying jobs involve an awful lot of typing, developing, writing memos or legal opinions. And say like LLMs get good enough to displace 30% of the people that do those. That&#x

    Yes, I think we need to reform zoning and build like crazy. With everything costing a million dollars on the west coast, I don't see why there isn't a crane every block putting up a new building Other than NIMBYs, zoning and code
