This is great. The collapse of the great overpriced university scam. Not a positive I was expecting from AI, but a positive nonetheless.

I graduated nearly 20 years ago. The whole point has always been the piece of paper at the end. I already knew everything they were teaching, had 10 years of industry experience, was bored to death, and constantly molested by irrelevant drivel and egomaniac professors in topics I had already sufficiently covered in both middle and high school.

Now if we can get these memorize and regurgitate robots this system created out of the software industry and their insufferable interview dance, I'll be quite happy.

The problem with giving out of touch eggheads that much power is they're oblivious to unintendended consequences and their own orthodoxy.

Why are most new vehicles on the road SUVs and pickups? The EPA not adjusting to reality of what they incentivize.

Why are we still using weather stations that have been engulfed by urban heat islands to track climate change? It supports the warmimg orthodoxy, even though an impending ice age is much more likely and disasterous.

I've switched back and forth using Github Copilot. GPT seems kinda retarded compared to Claude 4.5. Is Codex using a different LLM?

Yet I look at actual prices and add it all up, and it looks only slightly higher than what I paid for my current setup some years ago. I wouldn't balk at these prices if I was looking to upgrade. Although a 2022-era machine with 64GB of RAM still does fine in 2026.

Was the Google+ team moved to develop Google Home? It has been such a profoundly unimpressive product with little movement over the span of a decade, I can't imagine anything otherwise

Horse s**t. I've taken antibiotics many times and have never even lost a half pound, let alone several kg

Yep, if you think this is bad, wait until China invades Taiwan

Found the corporate yes-man...

There are plenty of unemployed tech workers, we don't need to import any right now

There are so many useless and incompetent people in the corporate world, and they all had a collective emperor has no clothes moment. Folks like these hate WFH because they fold under the raw and non-negotiable pressure to get work completed. They're only competent at jawboning and backstabbing their way through their career.

There's some kind of magic in lower income countries that makes them immune to remote work productivity issues

Lol they sure get angry when you take their pork and barrel away

Speaking from experience, the H1-B's generally don't go home, total headcount goes up every year, and once they naturalize they're not counted in the statistic. It this terrible tech economy, less is more

Partisan fear-mongering keeps people clicking, that's for sure

Was that ever a thing? I can't say I've ever encountered anything resembling competence in applicants who worked directly for the government. All the heavy lifting seems to be done by contractors

"Trickle down"? You must be listening to a pundit who still thinks Reagan is president.

Our economy has been slowly unraveling since 2023. If Kamala was president now the post-lockdown economic cycle wouldn't just magically disappear.

I would concede that when it looks like a downturn is coming, strong Democrats don't line up to have that on their legacy, so Republicans tend to win
