Those aren't the kind of things being done anymore !
Wake Up !
That kind of shit is over !
The only things on the menu these days, is sadness, sorrow, suffering, hardship & joblessness !
I'm in Costa Rica, where by law, your lease is for three years and your rent increase, after the lease expires, has a 10% increase limit. It's almost as if the government here does a thing or two for the people.
The dream of AI is to eliminate most jobs that exist b/c AI can do it better than you. That will make the cost of labor for the rich elite near 0%
When we get to 98% unemployment and no one can afford even cheap goods --- we'll figure that part out later 🤷
That’s a long way off. AI at this point is barely better than Ipsum Lorem. Someone gave me an AI written book as a gag gift and it reads like a 4th grader copying someone else’s work very very fast.
AI images are better but still look like AI. AI video only looks good if it’s in the dark.
Exponential growth bro. We need to get ahead of this b/c it will overtake us if we're not ready. Right now the corporations who will profit from this are the sole people in charge of it.
I'm a pretty old guy and fully expect to see this in my lifetime
The good news is that AI will never be able to actually create anything. It will be able to copy things. There will always be room for good original creations. You’re not wrong that many of our jobs are going to go away. The world we grow up indoesn’t exist anymore.
Wages that aren’t stagnant while the super rich get more tax cuts, more profit and enough surplus earnings to buyback their company stocks plus multiple vacation homes and a few super yachts
Australians have a 36..38 week, minimum hourly wage approx 25 dollars an hour, 4 weeks paid annual leave. However rents are scarce and homes are very expensive to buy. It's the same all over the developed world.
Rent control doesn't work. All it does is destroy the availability of rental properties.
Maybe you don't want people to be able to rent properties, but there does seem to be demand for rentals because not everyone is able to afford a deposit for a house.
Agreed. The consequence is that landlords stop renting out properties and just sell them. Of course some people can now buy, but many people can't afford deposits.
People suddenly need housing, eg after a house fire, new work contract, or fleeing DV. Where should they sleep if we have no rentals?
Ommagash and housing!!
Why is every home be gutted remodeled before it can be sold
Why do fridges have to be so big it’s the only thing I see in my kitchen.
)don’t get me started on appliances I can’t repair
So much for the environment when all the energy efficient crap is in the dump in 2 years)
(unrelated rant) Plus we watch TV on phones the size of tablets. What do we need 8k for. Even videogames are veering towards portability. 4K and 8K are more of a fad than 3D was.
I no longer work but agree with the four day work week. Rent control absolutely, here in Florida the rent is outrageous and if you own insurance is out of sight.
Yes if you can afford it, some areas you can’t. Before I sold my home three years ago it doubled in price and the next year tripled. HOA’s in Florida are bad also.
I’ve scaled my wish list back to only wanting basic living necessities: water, electricity, a roof, some food, after Trump is done looting the country.
we have a project going at a local plant were the contractors all work 12 hour shifts and get a long weekend every week and love it We had rent control until we got a Conservative premier that put a stop to that
Too bad, no one in the federal government cares. I know no one asked you but all resources are going to ai development (and billionaire tax breaks) right now. Hopefully ai will take everyone's job in a few years because of some dopey reason a nitwit ai developer gives!
It's bad enough they took EVERY BIT of entertainment off the Airwaves and Basic Cable. You can't find anything newer than 20 years on Cable except "Reality" that's not real, and Games... and in Syndication. EVERYTHING is Pay-to PLAY Streaming Service. Rome Fell when they took their Entertainment
I said this to a friend just yesterday. “What’s so great about advancement if only the working class is responsible for dedicating their entire lives to make it happen?”
A maga once said to me “life isn’t supposed to be fun,” and I responded with “Says who? Repubs want you to think that way.” 🤷🏼♀️😂
And it will be unpicked. Unless maga is just chomping to get those jobs? Give them something to do besides marching around all day braying about their lord and saviour.
Dream on. We often work two jobs with no days off just to make rent , groceries, utilities, insurances. We pay more and get less. A four day work week, sounds great, I did those at 10 hours per day. So they didn’t need to pay overtime. It was short lived. Then back to 7 days per week.
Agreed. All for what, to make the rich richer? So many people build or work on things they’ll never be able to afford themselves, and that’s a societal problem.
I’m okay with slowing down and enjoying life. Who cares if AI didn’t come about until 2044 instead of 2024 🤷🏼♀️.
I lost everything after my divorce because I was too physically ill from autoimmune to care about stuff. I literally left it all in the home my ex allowed to foreclose on purpose and walked away.
I never felt so free once I had nothing left to lose. Many of my stresses were gone. 🤷🏼♀️😂
Ewww that sounds like "Socialism", come on having to borrow money to buy shit so you have to work until you die is the Capitalist wet dream. How did we get so fucking suckered
8K TVs, self driving cars (and other "comfort" things such as this) are the current generations equivalent to the heqet beer the ancient Egyptians would feed their workers so they would remain docile.
That's pointless when consoles are becoming pointless too.
+ PC players don't typically play on a TV, and streamers certainly don't. 4K is more than enough even sitting close to your monitor.
+ Consoles don't have exclusives anymore
+ Both consoles and PCs are transitionning to portable gaming
Republicans are dismantling the ways Americans can work together to make tomorrow a better day.
Who is doing that where you work?
Why aren't you allowed to discuss your pay w/ coworkers?
Because they don't want you to know how much you are worth.
They believe that we are disposable and replaceable and that is correct. But what they don’t appear to be cognizant of is that they are the same. And their time is going to come if they don’t let up. No man is an island.
My hypothesis is that they think human population will/should decrease by ~80%, while they are sheltered in wealthy enclaves w/ robotic farms and AI-enabled security.
They just don't want us organizing beyond "Pie in the sky"
My father told me, almost 50 years ago, that artificial intelligence would be the end of us. He was an engineer (Boeing), a detective, LAPD (homicide division) and lastly, a Naval Aviator. He had an IQ over 180. He felt guilty he wouldn’t be here to help us. Those memories make me feel so sad.
We've stopped making children read. The "Gamefication of Education" just has them thinking that they don't need to know anything since they can look it up.
GenX was so happy when they could plug their 3yr old into a laptop, but never cared about who was writing the programs.
My three children were reading by the time they were four years old. My three grandsons were reared the same. They have all moved on to being extremely proficient in technology. My daughter and son-in-law are both in high positions in tech. And we all are vociferous readers. You are so spot on.💙

This!! Even 4K TVs make my eyes hurt! Plus… Why should I want a screen that has higher definition than my own peepers? And flying cars? Jfc I don’t/won’t drive a wheeled car, & drivers on “2D” roads are already terrible… I can only imagine the chaos of adding another dimension for them to fuck up!!🫠

Goodnight and best of luck come tomorrow my friend.

But yeah AI is something completely new and isn’t like cars doing away with horse drawn carriages, way bigger than that eventually

They are both adopted and POCs so I mean this sentiment on many fronts.

Bandwidth:
4K: >15Mbps
8K: >50Mbps
Huge leap, for hard to notice difference.
TV resolution peaked, that's why prices are low. So, to push sales, they try to push a new trend.
Don't fall for it.
