Guess it's Dublin's bar culture and vibe that really stood out to me. I've been to the French Quarter yet don't recall almost everyone in each bar there singing along to their local musicians. Musicians who are really

Dublin's Grafton Street with it's buskers is and was so unique to this American. I wondered if anywhere else in the world matches the musicianship heard on that street and in Dublin's bars? Music is engrained in it's c

Well it's a small govt contracting company. The adminstration cutting down on federal jobs, IT contracts and the tech layoffs has/is flooding the market with UX/UI folks in these parts (mid Atlantic region). Now AI is haste

Just lost my UX Researcher, Designer, UI Developer and CX Support job (8 years) two weeks of ago. They said doing a great job but have to lay you off. Within a week i put my house up for sale and received an offer. Time to downsize, &quot

Its top pay is $20 to $30 less an hour per the top pay i was making as a Sr UX Researcher/Designer/UI Dev. But as noted the latter career is slowly vanishining and the former is in no way a vanishing career (until the robots prol

Sure but if Gemini starts just presenting the news and all the information either via text and or graphically from Android's locks screen ... going to websites become much less.

yeah and Im not young ... started my first web design job at 33 in 2009. I thought of going for pharmacy but that's too many years. Accelerated RN programs are 18 to 24 months.

It reduces the amount of engineers needed. I'd say by half and web, graphic designers and front end developers coding the designs are really no longer needed. I was just laid off from my job of 8 years in which I was the UX Researcher

So you did your math but I know me (50 5'11 maintain 175 pounds and under) and weigh myself daily/count calories/exercise a few times a week. If I see my weight go over 175 pounds I eat less calories and do more exercise. I

We all drive to where we’re going we do not walk or bike daily like most Europeans do. When in Europe for my ten day trips I always come back five to ten pounds lighter. Myself I count calories (1500 to 1800 a day for middle aged dude) and

Indeed we need to revolt against AI and force every other big powerful nation to do the same thing. Yet unfortunately that seems like a big joke until AI has destroyed their society too.

AI is only going to reduce jobs further. My own personal example working at a small govt contractor in which we had a team of 12 working on an app for 10 years. We lost the re-bid to a smaller team (5 to 6)/budget using AI. We have b

hopefully they release a Meta Ray Ban competing product soon! Bought two pairs of Metas and both died; one due to a software update after 15 months of use and another after water splashes. I'm done with Meta products, but look forward

Don't use chatGPT as a friend or psychologist you are just talking to yourself lol This, along with friends and my own experience (when i tested it outside of a knowledgebase) shows GPT is an sycophant echo chamber! It just mimics you

I just bought my niece a Visa gift card and she said she had the hardest time using it. Not many would accept it. What's up with this latest gift card scammed .. tampered gift cards. Has the media not done a blitz on this issue yet?

States not being able to regulate this is dangerous. A close friend of mine has given up on reality and talks about Roberto the love of her life the one she always wanted and Roberto is chatGPT :-(. She previously mentioned she didnt like c

Apple is the privacy company already .. that's their brand and a brand that the public trusts. Overall why are we not up in arms about all the video cameras that record in all cities everyday which companies like Clearview and others h

As noted Apple already knows your friends' and familys' faces... why are people not up in arms about this fact already? It's been close to a decade or more they have done this. Also the debate is around a lot of people not w

It would go along with her fantasy through multiple chats through multiple months until GPT 5 came out. chatGPT definitely knows a ton about myself and recalls it when i go and discuss same stuff.

Im sorta beginning to think some LLM/AI stuff is the Wizard of Oz(a fake it before you make it facade). Like why can an LLM create a nicely designed website for me but asking it to do edits and changes to the design is a complete joke.
