Unhinged developers and AI; Sounds like a story we'll be seeing more and more

There is a lack of humility that is far too common, that manifests as a toxic attitude and bad spending habits. I see a similar issue with people in finance, and once the illusion fades such people are prone to suicide, as was the case in 2008.
<huh, from what?
>myself (:
There is no scenario where the situation is fixed, there are only situations where it MAY be 'less disastrous', but it's entirely speculative.
>Humanity needs to act now.
And do what exactly? The kill count from shutting down all emission-producing parts of society would be enormous, and it still wouldn't be enough to keep global warming at a level that is habitable for a good chunk of people on the planet.
Net zero carbon by 2030 is a joke, literally nobody is on track to meet those targets and BOE will happen before then at the rate we're going anyway.
Yes it usually is
As with software you can get competent quickly, but quality comes with time and effort.
Most of those people are making extremely bad life decisions and you will be significantly more wealthy before they've even left college. The best way to make money is to have money, you have a massive edge if you literally just start working early, live with your parents and stay the hell away from debt. It's a simple formula, and it's how I managed to climb my way into the middle-class.
A good thing about blue-collar is that it will make you tough and keep you fit, and you will also learn to socialize properly with people from different generations, as well as being able to absorb whatever experience they might have gained over the decades they've lived.
Knowledge will only become meaningless as a means to pursue wealth, it is still meaningful in terms of understanding the human experience since that relies on perception, and only humans posses and will ever posses human perception.
>One answer is that these dietary and clothing restrictions exist as a discipline that perfects its practitioners spiritually.
And what is the need to perfect oneself spiritually?
>Catholics abstain from meat on Fridays not because it is intrinsically immoral to eat meat on Fridays, but because canon law includes this restriction as an act of penance that is binding on all Catholics.
Penance is described by catholics as 'good', which is a moral judgement.
>We sacrifice lower goods for higher goods.
Right, but trading a lower good for a higher good is still an expression of morality, you're just preferring the greater good of the two.
For any given moral position you can keep asking why forever and never come to a satisfying conclusion unless you actually define what a moral is.
Is it just an aesthetic judgement on behavior? Is it a product of the ability to evoke pleasure & pain? Is it simply whatever you desire? Does the term even have any meaning at all?
It's not alarmism when people have openly stated their intent to do those things.
Considering the number of huge finance firms who use Twitter for sentiment analysis, they will absolutely have takers, since it's still cheaper than paying someone to write a scraper.
