AI will not lead to labor shortages. What is leading and will lead to labor shortages is low IQ people having more babies, high IQ people having fewer or no babies, and tons of low IQ immgrants, legal and illegal, all leading to inadequate numbers of people with the aptitude to do the jobs that are actually needed, including mechanics and HVAC techs.

Correct. Therefore will be modded down by leftist TDS sufferers who want the US to lose, always.

Everybody's a victim now.

It's Anthropic, not the employees who are being targeted, and that is because Anthropic has tried (successfully, it seems) to subvert the government, and is actually a security risk to the US.

Medallions are a scam to prevent entry and competition.

This is great research. But the problem is for the average ALS patient, who is going to pay for the $900,000 of equipment and human monitor at $100k/yr so he can work his $75k/yr job?

No, government did not order "Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos." What they actually did order is more sweeping: they banned them from making it available to any foreigner, including in the US, including Anthropic's own employees.

Spielberg may be a genius film producer and director, but it turns out that outside his field of expertise, he is just another moron. Also, too stupid to know when to keep his mouth shut. "Best to let people think you a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it." --Twain.

I'm using AI for hobby coding projects using APIs and languages that I was never fully proficient in if at all. That works out great, even though I have to go through many iterations with the AI to get it right. If I was still programming like I was decades ago, for languages and APIs that I was expert in, it would be far faster to just code it myself.

So, that is what these are good for: non-experts can produce usable code that would require an expert without AI, but it's not production quality code. The real question then becomes whether the grunt workers + AI that then has to be refined by experts produces any savings over the experts doing all the coding in the first place, and AI just looking for bugs.

0.1 Demographic changes.

Article could be right, but I couldn't get through it.

Europe has painted itself into a corner. On the one hand they have eschewed nuclear power and fossil fuel power, while on the other hand they have allowed an influx of low skill migrants who increase social and policing expenses, without much contribution to the economy. Then suddenly their cheap energy from Russia goes away, they refuse to exploit their own, and the US says pay for your own defense. Meanwhile, the US and China are eating their lunch economically, the US in digital, and China in molecules.

There is little or no slack to deal with all these problems simultaneously, and jawboning can only forestall the jackals for so long. Something will have to give.

They let in enough foreigners and naturalized them so that they think they now have the votes to undo what the indigenous peoples wanted.

Man-powered flight was achieved decades ago, Icarius notwithstanding. Yet, no one has yet built commercial man-powered airliners. Truly a missed opportunity.

"compared to what it could have been if the U.K. had remained in the EU"

Could. If only pigs could fly.

Compatibility can be a user option. But usually the fascistic tendencies of these type of project owners prevent that.
