neither smartphone nor internet will help you get information these days. there is too much of it and anything there is too much of becomes worthless.

speed is in the eye of beholder :)

not sneakebots but competition coupled with failure of nike to modernize past airjordan brand. nike was riding hiding when you alternatives were reebok and new balance. now there are a lot more brands and they leave nike in the dust. my 13-year old athlete

- does not know who “jordan” is

- called me a boomer when I suggested to buy her nike shoes I liked for the upcoming season

not sure if you check lately but these are high paying jobs now, coffee baristas start at $18.00/hr and AI is cheaper in the long run (no insurance, sick days, pto…) - unless cost is $0.00 AI will replace it

same with humans

The most sound finacial advice for all Americans has always been “buy S&P 500 and forget about it” for 200 years. There have been a lot bigger things then “5% bond yield” (see like 1920’s) :) It’ll all be fine cause it always is in the long run. Dooms-dayerism is good for clickbaits, not otherwise

It is one thing to say economy will slow down, of course it will, we have ran a bull market for very long time that slowdown as well as serious correction is a given. It is entirely different thing to quote “How Countries Go Broke”

If you bet against America, you will always lose in the long run. In the short run, if you can time it (which no one can, that is why I have see “Dalio” warnings in my Apple News “front page” for 1/2 a decade now) you may score some points in the short run. In the long run, you will always lose, period

Boomark this and ping me when America goes broke.

Not trying to be too funny but I would be broke (am very much so not) listening to garbage fro Dalio and other financial “experts.”

wondering if journalists just copy/paste this year after year or write it from scratch each year :)

the first of like-this-one I remeber from early 2000’s…

US Citizens have been tamed by “social” and other media propaganda by the people in power. But we got 2A handy to you know, hunt for rabbits and shit

True, but it is also very fair to argue that AI is significantly accelerating this...

the “pro-tax people” should just run the ads with this as in “see how much they have that they can spare $100M like it is nothing - tax them” :)

oh all the skills I acquired in my 5 decades on this planet reading and maths would not crack top-1000, so overrated

exactly this. EVs are definitely not for road-trip-every-week families, I rent a car 4-5x per year (my other car is EV as well)

he doesn’t have to like you at all, you just have to bring a large white envelope or a thumb drive to mar-a-largo and you good

Very true on both accounts (I own a 12-year old Tesla) but for vast majority of EV owners this is simply not an issue.

Every middle schooler in high schooler in America is snickering right now... :)

1. AI will read the code

2. AI will manually test code

we are at a point where even if you are not educated on the topic, you can just see what elon thinks and join the opposite camp

$4bn to $5bn yearly is far from avoiding legal liability (though we can sure agree that it should probably be 5x that) - https://beasleyfirm.com/medical-malpractice/statistics/

I do not disagree but I also do not see how, without liability for its action, would a business have customers. Surely there are idiots but if someone put up a sign in front of the hospital like "we are not liable for anything that happens inside these walls" I will venture a guess that business will suffer. This will also open up business opportunities for other businesses to jump in with "we stand by what we do, you'd be crazy to go to _____ for services we are offering."

I might be naive to the core but I think, in the long run, I am not very Doom&Gloom about AI like you are sounding, people have a way of (eventually) making their own decisions and won't put up with this world you are pitching (I hope lol)

Hard agree. But even in this case though, the company behind assumes liability for "its actions", no?

how will this manifest itself!? like you envision a future where there will be say a hospital, ran by anthropic which is AI powered fully, no company behind it, just plain Claude running everything from the moment you walk in till you walk out?

I am having a hard time imagining a future where “AI” isn’t just a tool that a given establishment decided to use much like anything else they use

AI is a tool just like any other tool. Holding “AI” accountable is like holding JetBrains accountable for the bugs I wrote with their tool than endangered lives of people

facebook is everything except on the decline, HN bubble is the only place anywhere where this is being thrown around without any rhyme/reason

tens of millions is not large

enjoy that while it lasts :)

you joke but number of mapquest downloads jumped 400% (from 1 to 5 weekly downloads)

> Crime X exists -> Try solution Y ...

I think the problem here might be that while Crime by its definition might be the same, the way that it is executed changes drastically so Solution Y/Y0/Y1/Y2 are not required to exist in terms of severity (very likely solution Y was severe enough if you were tried and convicted of the crime) but they are needed because the way Crime X is executed changes (especially this Crime X)
