If your 401k offers it you could look into an "equity income" fund. Not for the dividend income per se, but because these a are big stable companies with a track record of paying dividends. Also, consumer staples are known for hol

Right. But you're still putting your money at risk seeking reward - aka playing the game. Outside of FDIC insured cash accounts, the most anti-gambling way to play would be to buy nothing but TIPS. But even those have a (small) risk.

I don't think your analogy fits. Tech is directly responsible for automation, which impacts jobs. Tech workers didn't cry moral outrage then. But mow that tech may automate their job, suddenly it's evil.

I didn't mean to do it sneakily, I meant to be straight up with the employer and offer to pay for the subscription if they won't.

I see comments on here all the time from people getting a lot of mileage out of local models. But the main point is, the technology is within reach. It's not like it's some giant quantum brain in a vault under Google headquarters.

Thanks for your response. I agree my two buckets were too narrow to fit everyone into. It was a quick take and I shouldn't have insisted on carrying it through. FWIW: imo AI doesn't need to cure all disease and end poverty in ord

I'd love to hear how I misinterpreted your words about AI. Just to remind you: - "A ridiculous waste of resources sucking up all the oxygen in the room." - "I am also not at all afraid of losing my job to AI" - &qu

You're putting a lot of words in my mouth. I shared my assumption. I asked the question to get a real perspective from someone who was already sharing. I didn't know their answer before I asked and still don't. Also I never s

That makes sense and matches my perspective, thanks for answering. I don't normally see anyone on this site admit they are afraid of losing their jobs. My comment here repeats that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=
