You say that as if there is an upward mobility path, start by working on the farm, then...where do people "graduate to"? Do they gain skills that would apply to higher skill jobs? That's the danger for society overall in AI, because people do need to start SOMEWHERE to learn the more advanced skills that AI can't do. Yea, you need a doctorate just to get a job, but those with a high level degree still won't have the job experience needed to do well in many jobs where experience teaches better than any classroom.

The other problem is also to understand the WHY of things, not just how to do this or that, but to teach WHY you do things in one way and not another, even if you have multiple ways to get things done. If schools aren't teaching the ART of a subject, including in scientific subjects, they are skipping out on what makes many subjects fun for those who love it.

Considering the generally low pay that you see from most jobs out there, bonuses limited to the executives because "times are tough", that attitude makes sense. Getting a 2% raise when the cost of living has gone up by 8 percent or more over the past year, and other issues like that, then it makes sense that the very wealthy, who keep getting tax cuts, should be seen as the cause for a lot of the misery out there. Even those who are doing "ok" are finding that they aren't doing as well as they were a few years ago due to the higher cost of EVERYTHING.

Anti-woke will ALWAYS shoot itself in the foot. There's a very basic issue at play, if you are a part of a group that feels they are being discriminated against, there will be protests, and a push against that discrimination. Race, ethnic group, sex, gender, or whatever, that push back against discrimination will ALWAYS happen. And, the more that discrimination goes on, the bigger the push back will be.

Now, this is where it shoots the anti-woke people in the foot, when the push back happens, it doesn't stop at fair representation, it tends to go overboard(you have to push hard to overcome that discrimination that has been in place). For those on both sides who are not at the extremes, this makes the push back uncomfortable and unpleasant, but it is still in response to the original discrimination/persecution. Now, if the anti-woke people would just stop their persecution in the first place, this takes away most of the energy from the protests against the initial discrimination, and then, all of the "over-correcting" goes away, which further eliminates the thing that bothers so many people.

So, admit it, there has been systematic racism in many places around the world, there has been a lot of anti-LGBT+ out there as well. Nothing you do will change that people who are not like you are in the world, and they deserve the same rights that you do, no matter if you like it or not, people are people, and they deserve the same respect you want for yourself. So, just stop fighting it, and all of the things you dislike about those other groups will stop taking a spotlight, and suddenly, you won't have reasons to be so unhappy. The more you close your eyes to it and say it's not happening, the more of the protests you will see and hear about.

If a new generation of product comes out every one or two years, many companies will push the idea of, "customers will buy every new generation" as they inflate their projected numbers. They will also just assume that companies will continue to just throw money at buying AI based products, even when they already have enough to meet their needs.

There is SOME merit to expecting that after a 30 percent boost in performance to a new generation, companies MAY decide to upgrade/replace equipment, but that is not an automatic.

Put your car in a garage for a year because you will be traveling, and then having that brick the car really isn't good. But I don't feel bad when bad things happen in Russia these days, in the same way I wish that Trump and his administration would lose access to everything, along with ICE, then the government in Israel. This list goes on.

I don't think so. Netflix is known for shows and movies they have made, so buying WB isn't going into an area they have not been involved in. AT&T also made mistakes, because being involved in communications is very different than creating things that in turn get distributed.

The 5090 is the only RTX 5000 series GPU that is better than the previous generation, just because it is "larger". The only real design improvements in RTX 5000 over 4000 series was in AI related areas(DLSS). That is one big reason the Radeon 9070XT has been doing well, because NVIDIA spent too much effort on AI and didn't really improve rendering performance for the RTX 5000 series.

NVIDIA has to realize that if AMD releases UDNA in 2026, it's going to be a BIG performance boost on the AMD side, so NVIDIA can't ignore GPU development(AI is NOT graphics, so all of these NVIDIA AI products should be called an AIPU instead of a GPU).

From 1998 through 2000, we had a bubble that was caused by generic business people insisting they be involved in the tech boom. It popped in 2000, bringing a lot of misery with it. The AI bubble is the same thing, you have people with ZERO understanding of AI trying to get into it JUST so they can have an AI company, get all that money from an IPO, then cash out when their company that doesn't have a real product collapses.

At the base of any bubble is real potential, but when clueless people with a lot of money insist on starting a company in that area just because they can profit from the hype, that goes into bubble territory.

How many airbags are required in a car these days? What features are now standard that used to be high end luxury stuff? $28,000 may not be cheap, but it's not TOO high for what you get these days.

Your comment ignores why NEW products cost more, and the more new stuff is in a product, the higher the price will be. Once those features have been around for a few years, the price for those features can come down because a fair amount of the R&D costs have been covered by product sales. There is also the idea that higher volumes of sales will allow for lower prices, because 500,000 vehicles sold vs. 50,000 vehicles sold and how many sales are needed to hit break even for the R&D.

My 2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL gets upwards of 50 miles per gallon highway/33 city as long as I stick to 65 miles per hour and that's the non-hybrid version. The real key is that the majority of people don't need a big SUV or truck for their normal daily activities. The obsession with big vehicles as though we live in a war zone is why Ford and GM complain so much about fuel economy standards.

Funny, when Russia invaded Crimea, nothing was done, so that emboldened Putin to decide to invade the rest of Ukraine. You want peace with Russia, make Russia give back the land it STOLE, then make a 300 mile buffer zone IN RUSSIAN LAND, because Putin is entirely at fault for what has been going on over there. Ukraine wouldn't feel a need to join NATO if Russia hadn't invaded and taken land from Ukraine.

Working on the older machines and supporting it on those older machines are two very different things. If Microsoft put a "use at your own risk, this system is not supported" on the screen, there are too many stupid people who would install it, then the moment they have a problem, they would be going to Microsoft to get help. Linux being almost completely without paid support makes "use at your own risk" a given, but I've seen too many people who just assume that anyone offering help must be "paid support".

If you run the Windows 11 installer with the command line: setup.exe /product server
That will allow the upgrade from 10 to 11 to work on the unsupported hardware, but if it breaks, that's the risk you are taking.

Trump and his band of criminals doing SOMETHING stupid, criminal, or both at the same time could definitely cause a crash. Look what the tariffs have already been doing to the economy.
