exactly. so in 2150, or 2200, or someday, it will be a problem. So yes, it is a problem even today. It's kind of why you don't stand on train tracks even if there are still 15 minutes.
Future problems need to be fixed, else you end up as the countries you listed, Korea and Germany. It's not that hard
I'd prefer if it didn't have to go through this at all. Knowing you are headed for bad times isn't something to live with, it's something to fix. And it's not like the birth rates in each state are staying the same, they are actively dropping. The issue isn't just there, it's also getting worse.
made 40 years... before they (India) started developing.
Western countries were at the forefront of this already in the 80s. India, starting to develop much later, had a big time buffer to learn from that and at least attempt to avoid it.
You see, I know it's hard to grasp for some, but everything is really relative.
I can fault India (and, in particular, Modi) for repeating the same mistake all other western developed countries made 40 years before, yes.
I am indeed quite a lot younger, and in my personal experience the social skills of many (yes, of course, not all) younger Americans have been absolutely destroyed by the internet and some other things that I can't mention.
Edit: oops I skimmed too fast and missed some parts.
Fellow italian here, let's not act like our third rate ERs never leave people suffering for hours without caring that it may have lasting consequences. I understand it's partially due to understaffing, but this is the reality. My dad had this happen to him as well. Thanks
There is a saying. More is better. Morocco has issues with tourists and diaspora pricing out locals from houses to food even, but Algeria is an honestly good country all around. With its issues of course. But there is more to life than earning $$$.
Westerners forget the tiny detail that these countries are extremely young unlike them, hence why it feels like there are so "many" people.
Edit: oops, I glossed over the part about Israel. Trust me, it's still a billion times better than nothing, which is the case for the entire West.
Edit 2: Oh my oh my, I missed this too. I "loathe" European countries? Do I? I mildly not respect European populations for wiping themselves out. I cannot loathe land.
Uh... Meme-based? This is such an unserious argument I don't even know what I can possibly say to that.
How are they disconnected with the technology keeping them alive? All people, in GCC countries especially, are working to make 1st world development happen.
Implying that religious Jews or Muslims are stuck in the Bronze Age is ignoring reality. Most European development itself came from men of science who were Christian, I thought this apparent conflict of ideas was something taught in schools.
Going purely by the evolution theory and natural selection, having so few children that there is a serious risk a population will disappear in a century or two, means losing. Needless to say, this is stupid. From the entire American continent, to Europe, India more recently, Thailand, China, the Koreas, Japan.
Africans, Arabs, and some non-Arab Muslim populations will carry the torch. Much respect for not falling into the trap.
There is a handful of developed countries where this is not an issue.
Huawei Global is still a thing, and in some markets they keep releasing phones using Android 12 and no GMS. That is probably even worse.
"and I don't think that's right, and the distinction matters" Yeah right. lol
It's too bad they had to be extreme about it and ruin it with a huge screen and a 5:3 aspect ratio. it's almost a cube.
What is a noticeable improvement with something that struggles to read a message longer than 200 characters without missing information in the middle, may be a 0.000000001% improvement with a model that... almost never misses info in the first place.
It's good that the objective is to have the model work as a helper, but that's what everyone can already do with CC or Codex as long as you don't ask to "write this entire x thing". It's also what a billion other, often vibecoded, harnesses claim they can do.
Why should I use yours, which also forces me off my existing subscriptions? Maybe it's (mostly) handwritten, so it's mindful efficient code instead of slop, and each adjustment was made through trial and error with current models? maybe it IS slop but at least you have a unique feature? and so on and so forth.
Take your meds.
