Grogu is already 50 years old so that might explain his powers.
Yeah? So how come he never speaks and has the language comprehension of a 3-year-old?

I just got one, but I am in Europe and our economy is not systematically being destroyed.
How did you "just get" something that has yet to be released?
Open source does need to embrace AI coding otherwise it will become irrelevant
I think open source does not need to embrace AI coding, it needs to apply extra scrutiny to it otherwise it will become slop.
I have two less digits in my user ID than you, tenderfoot.
Hmmm
It's still 0% Zig so that's not great.
Minimal justice, if we want to split hairs.
This kind of thing comes from American Puritanism on the internet.
Well, the last piece of that sentence is the key part. I, and most everyone I know, have no problem using English language words. It seems to me that the only reason to censor yourself with weird, invented terms is because you want to be able to monetize your content on YouTube.
They actually do both, they're known to use their Manna-clone system that orders warehouse workers around to "find problems" with the performance of anyone involved in unionizing and fire them as an early line of defense. They've done this with unionization attempts in the US before (at least one of those warehouses did successfully unionize despite that). Shutting down the FC and moving out of town is their nuke-it-from-orbit option when all else has failed.
Penalties are light and unlikely enough in many jurisdictions for employers to consider it a cost of doing business though. See what Amazon's been doing in their warehouses in Quebec and BC for examples. Coincidentally, guess which Canadian provinces have the most videogame dev studios...
The only way out of this is to have a society that lets people who are effectively useless due to automation have food and shelter and healthcare and transportation and entertainment and it all has to be at least pretty nice. No you can't just shove them all into ghettos like we do with Palestine.
The problem is that doesn't feel fair or right. Why does your ass have to get up at 6:00 in the morning and drag your ass into work. It's especially bad because the people who are going to get to stay home and play Xbox get to do that specifically because they are unskilled, stupid and useless.
Maybe a system where everyone gets a share of collective productivity but has to take a turn at work could make those people feel better. So everyone gets their lifetime supply of food/shelter/healthcare/transportation/entertainment in return for their 5-10 years working or whatever the economy actually needs, so there's no shortage of human labor and nobody feels that there's an unfair division of labor either.
Of course the problem with that is another problem contributing to the current situation, there are people who seek maximally unequal shares of wealth for themselves and would fight an egalitarian utopia tooth and nail. Rich and powerful people who can contribute to the 10,000 year old effort of tricking the proles into propping up the aristocracy.
It's not the worst idea ever but it's worse than better options the billionaires want to distract us from with discussion of UBI, like universal basic services and democratic socialism, ideas where they don't retain as much of their wealth and power as they might with UBI.

I might've gone to one but it seems they're all in the past now. Maybe I'll remember to check next year.
This is a common myth that's often repeated because it's useful, in business for wealth advisors scaring their clients into retaining their services, and in fiscally conservative politics to promote indefinite patience with the ever-worsening moral horror show produced by runaway inequality.

I remember there was a study in the 2010s that found that it takes something like 900 years for a wealthy family to lose its wealth but all my search attempts to find it are flooded with more of this folksy "3rd-generation curse" myth, anyone remember it?
Flipper Devices is even developing its own small-screen Linux UI framework because squeezing KDE onto tiny touchscreens is miserable.
Have they checked out Hildon or Plasma Mobile?
The first country to release an LLM that's like what Claude Mythos pretended to be might destroy other countries several glorious winning seconds before it destroys itself. Winning!
