People will downvote you because the idea of violence shocks and scares them, but if you steal people's future and strip them of any real (peaceful) options to change things, it becomes inevitable some of them will try to fight back wi

I'd love for everyone justifying and hand waving the suffering of others to quit their jobs, give up their assets, and join in on the suffering. If it's really worth it for the "increased productivity", they should have

Is that what we're calling allowing CSAM and promoting white supremacist rhetoric?

They are not really accomplishing anything, though. They're not actually building anything. Meeting their needs is one thing, but we don't need to pretend like they're overcoming some insurmountable obstacle. Beyond that, an

People learning how to do things is not gatekeeping. It seems that word has lost all meaning. This person still did not actually create anything. If you have internet access, there was never any "gatekeeping". There have been free

I don't think the VCs would be very happy about it.

They at least pretended not to be. In hindsight, it looks a lot more like a blatant lie...

Police having unlimited access to spy and creep on my children would give me the opposite of peace of mind.

Ignoring any cultural dynamics that may be at play: maybe sometime after you started getting paid to do it. Personally, I find it enjoyable relative to other jobs, but I've lost most of the recreational enjoyment since I started making

I wonder if they actually believed it would bring more than a handful of permanent jobs or whether they're just saying to get their bribe.

Lovely! It's probably inevitable this will fuck over people eventually. Sam may as well prepare his next blog post ahead of time.

I think there is a shortage of would-be leaders like that though, that's the problem. Or at least would be leaders that gained any real traction. The only other one in the past decade was Bernie. Unfortunately for the past 3 elections,

Amazing how these are two of the most powerful men currently in existence and they bicker like children.

Fair point, but I'd have to see something more concrete than just them complaining about this situation specifically to believe they've actually seen the light. If they just continue to work there as usual and make no efforts to e

This is really a "hoisted by your own petard" situation. I hope they don't think people are going to be sympathetic towards them when they're guilty of doing the same type of things (and far worse) to billions of people.

How am I going to do any of that when I can't pay the bills and become homeless? That's what actually happens when you don't have jobs.

Anything critical of AI tends to get flagged/downvoted pretty quickly. I'm sure there are tons of bots doing it. Gotta promote AI so the rich can get richer, I guess.

The average dev probably doesn't have any significant amount of equity in their company. The stock price at my company going up just means my quarterly checks are going to be $4 instead of $3.
