Demand in the states is still massive. Maybe not for a "designer" but certainly for coders that work with AI well.
You are helping to engineer your own demise. Not sure what else you should do really, but definitely don't get smug.
If the vast majority of Americans lived frugally, saving some money for emergencies and investing most of the rest of their money in diversified stocks and bonds, spending only what they need to cover good medical care, healthy food and exercise opportunities, a sufficient but small house/apartment and transportation, and minimal luxuries....we would experience severe deflation and unemployment.
Really no. The wealthy get most of the money. The wealthy spend less of the money. When the poor get it, it's spent about five times before it comes to rest in a tax dodge. When the wealthy get it, it's spent only about twice. What we need is for the wealthy to spend money like they pretend they do, in order to create jobs like they pretend they do.
Look at the sprawling HQs with fancy buildings that are set up by so many companies when they could have gone with simple brutalist architecture.
Apple goes with simple brutalist complying with China.
And Microsoft themself is now acting to make that dependence on Windows go away, with web-based versions of their applications. I think they can see that Windows' time is limited. Maintaining an OS is a big thankless job that they don't need to do, and they're not any good at it so it's not like they deserve thanks anyway.
Operating gas stations that sell cheap because they’re subsidized is pretty socialist if you ask me. https://time.com/article/2026/...
Every one of them will do nothing but gaslight and lie to you, because they're Subhuman Fucking Disgusting Sociopaths and dangers to humanity.
"DEATH TO PEDOPHILES!" they chant... "BUT NOT THE ORANGE MESSIAH CHILD RAPIST, HE'S SPECIAL!"
It's a strange fight. The robots sometimes seem unaware of where their opponent is, facing the wrong direction or throwing kicks and punches in the air.
Not strange if you've ever played a fighting game against someone not into computer games. They learn quickly that by just mashing buttons randomly they can often get a win without actually learning anything about the game. Same principle.
I have to wonder if the geniuses who started these services ever consulted cab companies and drivers before the fact to have a better understanding of what they were taking on.
Of course they didn't. The name of the game is "disrupting an industry". Because on paper and in investor pitches, everything is straightforward, simple, and was practically waiting for them.
That reality is more messy, has more edge cases, doesn't always follow your process, is something you don't tell the investors and don't consider in your service until you've had the chance to cash out.
It's almost as if having humans around can sometimes have advantages.
But I'm sure this'll just be seen to add one more robot to the robot taxi. A humanoid co-pilot bot?
Unlikely many companies would be using the Z-80 in any new or current products.
I don't drive like a maniac, but I probably wasn't particularly careful about the clutch... not to mention that, for some years, a fair bit of my driving was on the hills of Seattle.
Regardless, the distance you've gotten out of your clutch is extremely impressive!
It was definitely quite odd. I'm very impressed by the balance the robots displayed; on the other hand, the aiming of their attacks (which were predominantly kicks) also seemed almost unrelated to where the other robot actually was (TFS' "sometimes" is an understatement).
Each robot seemed to have a very limited set of moves - just one or two specific attack moves, but several celebration moves.
I was a bit concerned that a human might be the target for a random roundhouse kick to the head towards the end of the video.
... and it made it look almost real. So did it get a gift card to Bed, Bath, and Beyond?
No Microsoft store and no AI bullshit either.
There was a Sonnax fix for my ZF5HP42A valve body problems too. It didn't work.
I've finally learned what "upward compatible" means. It means we get to keep all our old mistakes. -- Dennie van Tassel
