So you're thinking is too childish and simplistic for me to use the phrase ruling class. So I have to fall back on billionaires.

If you had graduated the 6th grade without getting a participation trophy I wouldn't have to do that but well, here we are. Imagine how much better human civilization would be if they had just held you back a couple years

A completely broken operating system. Like trying to get Windows 3.1 to run modern software. It just doesn't work.

You can't just give people money. Without extreme regulations monopolies jack up prices and absorb the money you give them. And all you end up doing is creating a bit of extra inflation.

We already have birth control and birth rates well below sustainability. It's not fast enough. Residual population growth means we are going to have too many people and too few jobs for at least another hundred years. All the birth control in the world can't solve that.

And nobody's going to let you hand out money anyway because anyone still working is going to resent you giving out money. So Ubi isn't even on the table and it doesn't work anyway if it was. Meanwhile the people you're offering Ubi to don't want it. Because they want jobs not handouts. So you have massive social problems that mean you're operating system patch doesn't work.

You're going to need to figure something else out. And I have no idea what

You won't be able to compete with companies cranking out AI slop. They'll just run you out of business. If that doesn't work they will buy you.

Consumers increasingly won't have jobs so we're not going to be able to afford fancy high-end human created stuff.

The problem with AI is that it's going to fundamentally break down the underpinnings of our entire economy. We are automating faster than we can adapt to. Seriously sit down and try the list out the jobs that are going to replace the ones being automated. You can't. They don't exist.

"My spam-bots need less human intervention to dupe morons."

And they won't stop until it's 100%. You Trumpers won. All I can say is I hope you have the day you voted for.

My one consolation is that Trump is taking away your Medicare.

What exactly is the scam besides a little bit of engagement bait?

More importantly everything in the post is stuff that gig slop companies have been caught doing on multiple occasions.

That's why it's not surprising if it was AI generated because the AI is going to take a little bit of everything that it finds on the internet from otherwise reliable sources and mix it into a slurry. So what you're seeing here is a bunch of associate press articles turned into a post. The articles would have been about other gig slop companies and what they got caught doing but the AI would have just mixed them all together.

Needs to be bottified: "And your father is powered by rotting elderberries!"

Why. Is. It. that web browsers seem to be built with the express and sole purpose of being as annoying as possible?

Nothing is truly "free". It ends up being a tool to sell you shit, track you to sell you shit later, and display as many ads as possible.

I get where you are coming from regarding screwy and ever-shifting browser UI's. I'd like to see a browser library that allows one to use the common programming languages to implement the general UI environment. The dev can program all the browser buttons, menus and panel layouts, but let library calls do the actual web-page rendering for the sub-panels. There'd be several demonstration configurations (layouts) to select and customize.

I'd like to see a kind of modernized version of Visual Basic classic. One could whip out a general layout in no-time with barely any code. However, it's probably not for the persnickety. Finding a happy medium is tricky, as being both newbie friendly and guru-friendly is tough as nails.

Mozilla tried to do something like this with XUL, but it sucked.

"Slop" is the in way to say it.

that happens to attach OS's, browsers, and biz-ware to it. Reminds me of the old joke: "Emacs is a decent OS, but lacks a good editor."

Donald Trump is happy to screw any industry over xenophobia except real-estate, oil, and makers of gold doilies.

But perhaps people take out loan sizes based on what they expect to earn in their field. For example, an engineering masters degree is expected to result in a relatively high salary, so one may request a big loan.

We need to STOP loans, scholarships and grants for any field that has no realistic promise of having the student make enough...

There are already common work-sheets to compute recommended loan level based on wage and employment statistics in various fields. If somebody is foolish enough to ignore such warnings, then the problem is on them. I don't believe low-wage degree earners are necessarily more egotistical or greedy than high ones, barring solid evidence.

Because if it's one thing the United Kingdom has a shortage of it's workers looking for good-paying jobs. Clearly we need more automation.
