They said it themselves.

You are full of shit.

"Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab said on Monday it is offering voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees, or more than a quarter of its global workforce, as the technology giant looks to âcontain costs and help fund its massive AI investments."

"The company told employees in March that it was cutting thousands of jobs as it faced investor pressure over raising huge amounts of debt for its AI infrastructure buildout."

"Oracle has started telling employees that it's cutting thousands of jobs, CNBC has confirmed, as the software maker deals with a plummeting stock price tied to hefty capital commitments for building out AI infrastructure. "

"Today we're laying off over 1000 Epic employees. I'm sorry we're here again. The downturn in Fortnite engagement that started in 2025 means we're spending significantly more than we're making, and we have to make major cuts to keep the company funded. This layoff, together with over $500 million of identified cost savings in contracting, marketing, and closing some open roles puts us in a more stable place."

"Since it's a thing now, I should note that the layoffs aren't related to AI. To the extent it improves productivity, we want to have as many awesome developers developing great content and tech as we can."

"Probably half of the suggestions AI wants to do for me is stupid or else just plain wrong", I'm still waiting to see your work. Maybe it's just you.

I didn't say this. You can't even keep track of who you are talking to.

"I, Claudius," you uncultured swine. Much better than Star Trek, but unfortunately recorded on 70s videotape.

I deserved that. I also deserve a second lashing for failing to mention the original Dune movie. Having read the book I could follow and enjoy the movie, we except for the sonic weapons. But that's the writers. :-)

Like a wallet with a surreptitiously installed cellular modem provided by what was an "approved vendor?" Which would eventually be used to siphon off holdings? Nah, no thanks dumbass

The same precautions as online banking. A dedicated device, used for nothing else. A dirt cheap chromebook, that old computer or phone that has had a factory wipe. Never your day-to-day computer or phone.

If you are storing your cryptocurrency in a device that you cannot audit you likely already lost your money the moment you bought those crypto tokens.

Hence a dedicated device, used for nothing else. A dirt cheap chromebook, that old computer or phone that has had a factory wipe. Never your day-to-day computer or phone. Much like the computer or phone you should be using for online banking.

Whether the keys are stored locally or in the cloud does not make any difference.

I did not say avoid the cloud. I said avoid 3rd parties handling your wallet.

Crypto is largely a spin on the classic ponzi scheme and money laundering.

Not at all. There is no interest or dividends where earlier investors are paid with recent investor's deposits. The preceding is a ponzi scheme.
Crypto is the "Greater Fool" theory, where one believes that there will be someone else to buy the asset at an even higher price in the future, so today's price does not matter. Also that the salvage value of the asset does not matter.

"Everyone should provide evidence to support their personal experiences", you made the claim buddy. Got nothing?

Wasn't it you who asserted industry layoffs are due to AI use?

"The vast majority of the software industry is embracing this tech as a productivity booster and you can just look at the layoff statistics for evidence. Microsoft is massively profitable but recently offered buyouts to 60k employees. Oracle laid off 13% of staff. Cloudflare, Wix, and Epic Games furloughed 20% this year. "

Where is your evidence to support your causal assertions? Oh right it doesn't exist because you are full of shit.

Yes you are, your words speak for themselves shill.

'how to be an end user of an LLM constitutes some kind of "skill" is frankly absurd on its face'
Hilarious! Go look for a job telling the interviewer that.

Anyone can use an LLM. Unless you are applying for a job at a code mill an interviewer who focuses on tool use is doing themselves and their organization a disservice.

Well, firstly I had a “follow only” feed when I quit Twitter in 2022 - I just want that for Reddit.

There were short periods when Twitter tried to make the algorithmic feed the default, but they always switched back to your personal feed being the default after outcry. So Musk hasnt fixed anything there, it was always there.

Secondly, no, I wont be using Twitter ever again. Or whatever its called these days.

Someone has already pointed this out, but it bears repeating. For that to actually be true, they would need to cost more from the budget than they add to it through both direct taxation, and the tax revenue generated through the effects of their labor and other economic activity on the GDP. Virtually all studies show that they're actually a net benefit there.

Perhaps for the LEGAL migrants...but not for the ILLEGAL migrants...they are a burden on the US taxpayer.....they're usually paid under the table, off the books and are the ones clogging up our ERs and classrooms.

Not like IPv6 solves anything with lots of ISP blocking inbound IPv6 connections.

Even in this situation IPv6 is still a huge benefit because peers are able to prime the ISPs association tables to enable direct communications amongst themselves. You might still need a third party to facilitate the setup of the communication yet data channels are still able to be maintained directly between peers.

Their current feed on mobile is a mix of stuff you follow and stuff they think you are interested in based on posts you interact with.

Which basically means that you are shit scared to interact with anything that isnt from a group you have already joined, because once you do, your feed is filled with posts from subs that are minutely related to the topic you clicked on.

For example, if I click on a post which contains an interesting local event story without checking what sub its from, and its from a local town or county sub from the US I soend the next week tellingReddit I really dont want posts from every fucking state, county, town or village specific sub in the US.

Or I click on a story about an interesting car event without realising the story was posted in a car specific sub, for the next week Im getting rid of every car related sub in my feed.

Right now Im doing this for UK home improvement and DIY subs, because I dared look at a specific story. Im getting recommended shit like home made pizza oven subs

My biggest method of interaction with Reddit by far, is telling Reddit what I dont want. And one single accidental click can result in hours or days of shitty mildly related content being forced on you.

All I want is Twitters feed from before 2022 - the one which just shows posts from people or groups you follow, and thats it. Why cant I have that?
