Disagree, the concept of witch trials predates the technological "leaps" you mentioned.

Similarly, people making a living in "AI" will keep redefining AI to whatever is the capability or around the corner of current "SOTA" systems (which is never quite AI or autonomous driving). Hence the invention of terms such as _full_ autonomous driving and artificial _general_ intelligence.

That's viable advice for navigating a system built on nepotism and over-supply of STEM workers. Just saying. Doctors don't struggle finding a qualified job.

But who's monitoring the monitors - bet margins are not thin enough not to offer cushy non-monitored positions for management.

The 99% placement of medical schools is not a "troll", no. There is no reason it could not apply to CS.

Also note that most of the points made in contention would apply just as well to medical schools and medical school graduates. For instance, there are plenty of unsocialized medical school graduates - they are still called doctors. But if they studied STEM, they're supposedly "too bad to deserve a job". Weird.

I'm leaning more towards there being an oversupply of STEM graduates.

While not having majored in medicine myself, I see no reason why CS couldn't have a 99% placement rate too.

Enough not to get gaslighted.

For instance, the "sources" accessible through those keywords put in a google search query.

(Entertaining the question as if my claim was more controversial than any other in this thread, that is, as if Barcelona was not infamous as a crime ridden s hole where visitors are asked to practice war zone vigilance.)

Got the idea from them being one of the crime capitals of Europe where visitors are asked to practice war zone vigilance.

Could also be a little bit of the middle class being priced out of driving cars.

Futurism in the Davos sense perhaps. You will own nothing...

It feels more dystopian than futuristic. There are countries where children don't have to commute in large groups to avoid crime.

Companies made a concession to workers through Force majeure and workers realized office work is miserable and unproductive. Micro-managers try to herd the cattle back into offices but with mixed success.

And govt. totally didn't push for that exceptional "policy", it arose from the first principles of free market competition. Any apparent similarity to moderation on Weibo, TikTok or Bilibili is purely coincidental.

If you have a monopoly and your spy platform is essentially infrastructure then yes, of course it is.

The CS world has certainly been geared towards the hobbyist budget for some time now. Would be good to keep it that way, even if it meant sacrificing a supposed 1% extra accuracy in the latest "top conference" (sure if their sponsors are the companies publishing huge models it won't happen even if it should).

Oh the poor is getting poorer in both ways when they for instance get priced out of the housing market. Wealth equality is a premise for long term prosperity of the majority.

And it's a feedback system, next time they choose the red or blue pimp, their ballot will be worth less due to increase in lobbying money held by the 10-1-0.1% - lobbying money used to purchase tax cuts for the same 10-1-0.1%.

It doesn't if you tax capital gains properly. It's more important to speak of relative ownership as that reflects the change in power held by the 90% majority of Americans - it's vanishing before your eyes.

Or, would a clear majority choose remote work if presence at the office was completely optional and there was no career favoritism in the benefit of people choosing to come into the office.

Other countries have unions that will handle those cases for the laid-off employee. Doesn't work perfectly but it's another idea worth considering.

Yes, it is largely a labor law issue. Twitter mob is not just cause for terminating the employment of someone. Using anti-defamation laws against individual bullies is another possibility.

Yes, they are very comparable. One tries to kill you outright, one tries to kill you by starvation or drive you to suicide.

The US Gov is effectively Google Facebook and they will shut you down or shadowban you under some pretense. As well as the politically protected duopoly Visa, Mastercard refusing payment processing. If Cloudflare even allows your site to stay up. You survive that, you also have to dodge secret police assassins and top politicians calling for your murder as with Assange and Wikileaks.

But yes aside from that you are totally free to start your own media.

Neither do all but a few countries.

That's not true. On the "believing" side, Al Gore certainly politicized it.

Real countries don't have at-will employment and should start using anti-defamation laws against internet mobs.

And big surveillance tech has allied with Team Blue to get away with surveillance capitalism and anti-competitive behavior, so anyone on Team Red must be unpersoned. One way to do this is by whipping the programmer minions of woke corporations into a stress session frenzy.

Such as legacy effects.

Reductionist to the point of nonsense of course. It could be any of many factors.

Yes, and it would be a great way to convince the populace to take climate change seriously if the rich also needs to follow the rules.

Romania is a tiny minority country, guess they could be exempt too then from all this whole climate change deal.

Mind that those taxis were all supposed to drive themselves since 2018.
