Iâ(TM)m aware of long-lived companies who got advised to: sell off then lease back their real estate, reduce cash on hand myriad ways, changing buying habits (so inventory value on the books plunges), etc. Literally, theyâ(TM)ve been coached to eliminate every bit of those decades of reserves.

When a bad thing happens, the company dies.

I can and do agree with you 100% on the rest, but this made me LoL. Enterprise code being documented is a unicorn.

Frankly, Iâ(TM)ve thought about seeing what caliber of docs come out of handing some AI a codebase. Even if itâ(TM)s half-wrong, itâ(TM)d beat the nuthinâ(TM) I usually get.

Yeah itâ(TM)s not arm, itâ(TM)s all the secondary hardware (a) being proprietary by (b) a company that zealously hoards IP.

Nah, every GenX nerd can attest, T2 was the liquid-metal shape-shifting robot Skynet sent back from the future to kill Sarah & John Connor.

if only we had a word for adaptation like this, like Evolving.

Sportsball (all flavors) are fast moving high churn cut throat businesses. Unions abound among them. Their owners still end up being billionaires.

Movies bla bla bla cut throat, yet SAG and Directors and gaffers and grips and key and etc often are guilded or unionized. Right now, I hear a lot about how the system has shifted until careers are challenging... but they'd be worse without their unions and the unions are their only hope in renormalizing to a living-wage thing.

Your point is invalid.

Aaaand striking seems quite doable regardless of union members being remote. Both stop-work and gathering in protest shift in nature but are eminently doable.

If only there were enough people to be able to do (work toward) **both** of these goalsâ¦

lol, if you think a language for manipulating matrices is 1-2-3â(TM)s âoesecret sauceâ, thereâ(TM)s not much hope.

Counterpoint: look at how computers ended up being ubiquitous. And cars. And TVs. And flatware. And glass dishware. And aluminum materials. And microwaves. And home refrigeration. And internet.

Let's look at your example, 3d printers? They're down to a couple hundred bucks for the basics. The electronics of these printers continue to plunge in cost. And let's face it, neither resin nor filament printing really solves home manufacturing. The barrier to 3DPrint ubiquity for these seems function, not cost.

I think UBI will help in general:

It'll mitigate unemployment, let folks work on useful but nonprofit things, and (seldom mentioned) will create a cycle: Competition for those UBI sheckels will motivate innovation.

Will Rogers said it a century ago: let the money spend some brief bit of time in a poor man's pocket; it'll end up back in the wealthy's hands swiftly enough.

Talk about burying the lede. Paragraph 2 is interminable and begs the question of why, but 3 answers it succinctly: Fusion fuel / waste risks are better.

More like âif Trump says the sky is hot pink, weâ(TM)re still gonâ(TM) say heâ(TM)s full of shitâ(TM). Truth, science, the constitution⦠easy counterpoint to whatever mad daft crap pours out of this regime.

I read this story, and immediately thought: âoeif only we had this invention to use that unobtainium thing which will need these other limitations overcome.â

If I stipulate Iâ(TM)m a n00b about history can you tell me which us war was a century ago, solo, and against a colonial power?
