Don't blame AI for the uncertainty and the killing of long-term planning and budgeting brought on by tariffs.

People think that tariffs spark inflation -- they don't. They spark cost-cutting as supply chains are disrupted and business models have to be restructured. Translation - Tariffs != inflation --- Tariffs = layoffs.

I am all for hybrid and remote work. But this "I'm neurodivergent" trope is more likely to get CEO's and executives to double down rather than listen. Like "neurodivergent" people never inhabited the workforce before. As somebody who is "neurodivergent" - this is the lamest crap I have every heard. We need to argue from the point that it is just WAY more efficient to not drive to work EVERY -- SINGLE -- GODD#@$M day and that our workspaces should be optimized for collaboration. Not isolation. Goodbye cubicles.

All conjecture - all speculation. These papers are pre-determined results that look for corroborating data and discount any factors that might deter the conclusion. These types of papers are why many people no longer trust scientists and do more harm than good when their speculation is eventually proven erroneous.

Perfect!! Six is EXACTLY where I should have stopped. Especially after 6th "Who's THE STRANGER" episode. Yeeesh!!!

You know what is lacking in Hollywood.....Good storytelling! I don't care what the message is but if it gets in the way of a good story it needs to stay the heck out of the narrative. And vice-versa.

This is what we have learned from going to Mars. For reference - it is easier to live at the South Pole than it is on Mars - yet NOBODY wants to live there. 1. Mars has gravity that must be overcome to launch up and and down. 2. Mars lacks sufficient sunlight to do anything useful. 3. Mars is terrible on the human body. Elon Musk is right that we need to become an offworld dwelling species fast -- but we should gearing around how we make OUR OWN environments in space. Not landing on freaking useless planets.

1. Countries that limit government will see their incomes double. 2. Countries that increase regulation and put onerous demands on individuals will see their incomes cut in half. 3. The world will have more of everything but will require less carbon-based energy to do it. 4. Seas will rise and some land environments will change - but people will adapt and their incomes will rise too. 5. There will be more arable land for everyone. 6. We will start moving to the desert as desalinization with limitless renewable and fusion power becomes a reality - leaving other environments to restore themselves. 7. The moon will be exploited for all sorts of minerals and mining on the moon will be a real thing --- (this will lead to a disaster of biblical proportions in the long run - but it will be good for at least 100 years or so). 8. Space will be boring - because it will be so easy to get there. 9. Well have more stuff, when we want it, and lots of it! !!! 10. AI will cause the average income to nearly double.

This religious movement has become one where acts of piety and shows of devotion are more important than common sense. SOMEBODY ELSE IS GOING TO MAKE AND SHIP THE OIL!!! Somebody dirtier, with less regulation and oversight, and probably filling the coffers of a despot to boot. This has become the modern-day equivalent of the march of flagellants - sans chanting ... but we at least have the screamers who superglue themselves to the road.

When I see it. The collusion between government and corporations to monetize and capture our cultural heritage is appalling. When do intellectual property rights expire? It definitely shouldn't take 100 years. I am at heart a libertarian and believe in the "free" market. But when elements of the free market collude with government entities to get "rent" checks for IP for two to three generations - something is wrong.

Because you think "But this is different!!!", "They've got control of stuff that nobody back then ever thought of man...", Which is exactly what those people said 50 years ago. and the people before them.. and the people before them.. Don't be afraid of corporations. Corporations die randomly and harshly --- be afraid of the people who want you to be afraid.

This has been going on for 150 years. CORPORATIONS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!! When Standard Oil - Woolworths - Sears - AT&T (Real AT&T - not this branded one), GE.... Each one had a shot at TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!!. Where are they now? We just have a new batch of GE's AT&T's which will one day be gone while talk about some company that doesn't even exist yet and how they TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!!!

It is not only in the West but is increasingly a problem within China that papers are being "dumped" and they are either not attempted to be duplicated or are duplicated and rejected --- but the paper is still referenced as a valid paper. This is only going to get worse and hopefully doesn't end up with two scientific methods - one Chinese and the other western.

AI will launch a million small businesses and DESTROY more corporations than any other technology invented in the history of the world. Leading to an explosion of wealth that will make the industrial revolution look like a blip. Everybody assumes the everyday person is stupid and can't deal with the ramifications of change. This is always the wrong bet - but you can't make the "smart" people optimistic when they've convinced themselves that if they just ran the world things would be so much better...

Self-driving cars. You'll never be able to quantify how many lives they've actually saved until their in mass operation. Which will be massive amounts of people because - let's face it. People drive like idiots (not me - I'm perfect). You'll never get to mass operation because you can only count the people they've killed by not knowing any better and just doing what they've been trained to do. This was ultimately caused by a human running into a person in the first place and unexpectedly throwing a pedestrian into its path. So the question is - if both cars had been driverless, could this have been prevented?
