Most people, even here, don't have that luxury. If you do, good on you, but you should have more consideration of others.

Well, even after Google came about, I always liked to ask people so I can have their perspective on a question, and because most of my coworkers were normal people who enjoy telling their own opinion on something (not the kind of troglodyte that would say “just use ChatGPT, ... we don’t need to talk about it”).

> I may be able to stop asking AI, doesn’t mean those around me want me to.

That's sad.

All of those points are just the author's preference. The good or the bad depend on the writer's intended audience, and his style.

It's very easy to just not ask the Artificial Stupidity machine.

Prostia umană...

Într-adevăr, un porc ce ştie să vorbească, ba chiar şi să scrie.

We're interested in people's idea, while AI-generated text is just junk.

The article was written by an LLM. No understanding was involved, no brain cells harmed in the process.

Guest worker visas were intended to work exactly like that. E.g, in Canada they were inviting Thai or Vietnamese workers to pick up fruits and vegetables during summer, and the workers would come work for 5-6 months then go back. In the beginning, the programme worked as intended and it allowed a path to immigration because very few wanted it in the first place, but soon it started being used by people who planned to immigrate from the very beginning. H1B was the same.

There's always the option of performing the job in another country, either through contracting or by opening a subsidiary.

Ukrainians and Russians typically have Western Europe as cultural beacon and thus are uninterested in living in the US, while it's full of them (software engineers) in Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Austria, Netherlands, etc...

The same is true for almost all Europeans: living in the US would be considered a downgrade in quality of life so very few highly qualified workers are willing to move to the US when they can have a good life moving to the more productive Western countries (Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany, Austria).

It's become pretty obvious that the US voters do consider it important that the spirit of laws be obeyed, even when it goes against the letter of the law; and that's quite funny because in the US common law system, the spirit of the law is almost never taken into consideration by courts, as opposed to European courts.

The business won't be hampered much by hiring in other countries because EOR companies have streamlined the process. And your username is very much on point.

UK doesn't count, becausd it suffers of many of the problems that affect the US. And especially here on HN, there are almost no US citizens that have moved to Europe, and many European citizens that moved to the US, and can talk out of experience.

Gemini is shit, just like other LLMs. Tourists don't have any idea how life is in a visiting country. How many US citizens have eve emigrated to Europe, vs European citizens that have emigrated to the US and have an idea of how day-to-day life is there ?

> I see very few Americans taking every possible opportunity to make bombastic statements about how their lives are better than everyone else's

Very few Americans have any experience about how life is in Europe, while the contrary is much more common.

Not 75%, more like 95%. Only about the top 5% have a chance of a better life than the equivalent in Europe.

I'm happy I've never met you.

> We are sitting in an uncanny valley regarding law.

You guys are just now discovering how obsolete the US constitution is.

How so ?

The web platform is still garbage. I want something with the simplicity of Classic MacOS, or GTK2, where for e.g. a text editing page like a wiki, I have a toplevel "App" component, and inside a combination of VerticalBox, and HorizontalBox for layout, with a MenuBar on top and a TextBox on the bottom, and some buttons. In total, a tree with a depth of max 4-5, and sane defaults so I never have to think about the "CSS rendering algorithm", divs, CSS selectors, Z-index or other useless details like that, which should be left to those designing a skin for the UI components library. Web design hasn't caught up with desktop UI frameworks of 30 years ago.

Go back to your lair, lizard man.

> neither do people know their preferences

Some people do, and have been wisely guided to know what to look for.

> people realize their reaction was disproportionate

No.

Graphical applications should never ever never change the UI. Change the default for initializing an empty config, like on a new machine, if you like but never change what's already a running config.

> how do we adjudicate what is a legitimate part of someone's soul

We think, then we vote; then we think some more, and we vote again. It's democracy, just as for other things.

> Learning isn’t copyright infringement.

Of course, but only humans are able to learn. Clanker enhancement is stealing.

The woman who carries the child.

Has everyone tried ? I know people are different, but it's pathetic to see how much people like you are attached to the idea that they can't change. Grow up.

The burden of proof is on you. It's funny how personal you've taken this, lol.
