> Rust belt cities didn't transform with new kinds of jobs and industries. They just crumbled and fell apart. The interesting part is that the artistic jobs are mainly in the tier 1 cities e.g New York, LA, London etc. I'm sure

Well humans have adapted, just as they have adapted to every technological development. There are tons of jobs out there with shortages e.g paramedics, nurses, teachers, engineering, plumbers, electricians, construction etc. People will end

So you've edited your comment to bring up slave labour for some reason, so obviously your Android phone and your $13 battery are all ethically sourced right?

I'm of the same opinion. Why would anyone think any kind of tea is meant to be injected? Where would he be getting this advice from? If he's heard of microdosing for depression, if he can go on the dark web and buy magic mushrooms

This is really interesting, I wonder if you could class something like “Upload” on Amazon Prime as belonging to this genre or if it would be ruled out for lacking the visual aesthetic and for being too comedic.

Sadly I think that’s where it’s heading. We’ve already got this dynamic where the majority of people get their stuff from the same big brands, and then increasing levels of luxury brands for the top 5% or so. I think it’s going to end up li

Well you’ve got financial analyst firms left right and center coming out with big numbers like this that have far more access to resources and data than I ever will. But you could just use your common sense. Most illustrators and artists ma

It blows my mind that we’ve generally gone from a marathon being considered a long distance to run, to stuff like 100 mile and two day races becoming more and more common in the space of like 20 years. I swear hardly anyone was doing this k

Are you actually joking? I think you should go have a look at Midjourney v5 and have a read through some Reddits in the art community where people are already losing their jobs.

Well if it’s in a proprietary format, then sure. But if it’s not then no, they can’t do that. And it’s not like paper books haven’t been subjected to regional bans and text changes (see the recent roald Dahl news) so I don’t know what you’r

I’m not sure I’d consider illustrator and artist jobs to be “generating bullshit” and I’d say at least 90% of them are probably going to be eliminated. You can probably add some other non-bullshit media jobs like audio mastering and video c

This does suck for obvious reasons, but I also think we need to get a good, thin, eInk tablet like Remarkable or Boox Note down to the sub 100 usd/gbp price. Kindles are ok but they’re too small for textbooks and you’re also locked int

I don’t see how this is relevant. I’ve already said I’m a remote work advocate. I’m pointing out that existing apple devices that allow for non face to face communication have proven wildly successful despite apple not getting behind remote

Well I think everyone outside of the socially anxious would agree that face to face conversation conversation is preferable to telephone calls and video chat. That doesn’t change the fact that the iPhone is probably the most successful prod

Because you’re not just paying for a physical device. You’re also paying for the software that runs on it which is best in class. And before people start saying it’s not, how many people are running 7 year old androids compared to iPhones?

I worked as a barista for years so I know a fair amount about coffee but the historical legality and prohibition of it is actually something I know very little about. Think I am going to do some Wikipedia browsing this afternoon!

I think the point is that the prototypical coder, according to the narrative, is a left-leaning lawful good person that wants to change the world for the better. Think early google with “don’t be evil”. The fact that one of the most high pr

I think this kind of screening is probably a good thing. Do you really want to entrust hundreds of lives to a pilot who struggles to concentrate? Or one who has depression and might be looking at that nearby mountain and thinking “I could j
