The GOP should just setup a copy of the press room at the White House in a retirement home where everything is painted gold. Every day, they can place dementia Don in front of the podium and tell him, "there's a million viewers."

He'll keep himself busy like that until a bigger stroke than the last takes him down to hell.

I first heard it when I was a kid but didn't truly understand it until 9/11. The more time goes on, the more our shitty timeline proves it to be true.

Meh. Nothing in this article is strong evidence of anything. They're only looking at a tiny sample of data and wildly speculating about which entry-level jobs are being supplanted by AI.

As a software engineer who uses AI, I fail to see how AI can replace any given entry-level software engineering position. There's no way! Any company that does that is just asking for trouble.

What's more likely, is that AI is making senior software engineers more productive so they don't need to hire more developers to assist them with more trivial/time consuming tasks.

This is a very temporary thing, though. As anyone in software can tell you: Software only gets more complex over time. Eventually these companies will have to start hiring new people again. This process usually takes about six months to a year.

If AI is causing a drop in entry-level hiring, my speculation (which isn't as wild as in the article since I'm actually there on the ground using this stuff) is that it's just a temporary blip while companies work out how to take advantage the slightly-enhanced productivity.

It's inevitable: They'll start new projects to build new stuff because now—suddenly—they have the budget. Then they'll hire people to make up the difference.

This is how companies have worked since the invention of bullshit jobs. The need for bullshit grows with productivity.

Do it! Let's set a precedent where it's normal to charge former presidents with crimes!

Let's see which charges stick when put before a jury...

Meh: It's inevitable. It's really Valve that we should blame for dragging their feet for so long.

No. It ran... Linux.

...or trying to get away with as much as possible and seeing what sticks.

I hope his home gets destroyed by a climate-induced natural disaster.

What it proved is that the super rich have too much power. A power that shouldn't exist in a democratic society.

Right wing media has been given far too much leeway in spreading disinformation and misinformation. Every show, podcast, and news article that spreads easily disproven falsehoods should be prosecuted. Fuck "corrections". If an organization has to issue a correction that should be all they're allowed to say for at least a 24 hour period (basically, put them in timeout).

Basically, they need to be held to account for not doing due diligence on what they're reporting as fact. Unverified claims? It's simple: Don't publish that. Don't even bring it up as news at all until you feel safe defending your statements in a court of law.

We already have standards for defamation of individuals. What we need are standards of defamation of reality.

We can't rely on the civil court system to protect society from total bullshit. It's too expensive and there's so many ways to spout dangerous bullshit without defaming anyone.

If they throw out the rule of law like this there's no reason why anyone should follow the law at all. If Trump and his allies don't have to follow the law why should anyone else?

If the only thing that motivates these people is violence that's what they'll get.

If being captured means a death sentence then there's no reason to peacefully surrender. In fact, it is your human right to fight for your life in self defense.

If you make peaceful revolution impossible you make violent revolution inevitable. The billionaires should remember that all their wealth is built upon the trust the world has in the US's stability. If that goes away then so does the majority of their wealth.

There's a big problem here: Every kind of clothing is "fetish clothing" to someone.
