Comment A Positive Slant (Score 3, Interesting) 82

Kids need to be ready for the world they are going to enter, and it is going to contain AI. In the late 90's we taught kids about computers, the internet, and programming. At the time there were many jobs that didn't use a computer daily or at all, including in the office. That was very good instruction and prepared me for what I was going to work on when I hit the workforce in about 5 years.

If they are just adding instruction on what AI is, how to utilize AI, including that it isn't always correct and that we need to be careful with the implementation, then I see no reason schools shouldn't cover this topic.

I even think middle schoolers should be taught about social media. They could use /. to illustrate many important points.

The devil is always in the details. I haven't read the bill or TFA.

I was about to make the same comment. There is a very valid discussion about what happened and it is pretty concerning that a non-profit takes money from private parties, probably got grants, probably didn't pay taxes, and then once it's profitable, "oh, yeah, we didn't mean that whole "non-profit" stuff, lol."

And people wonder why this site has a sad average of 50 comments and at least 1 is dinkypoo saying something dumb.

Comment Freelancer Sites the Same (Score 1) 24

I put in a request for work on a freelancer site recently. For an amount that would have got a good response pre AI, probably 100-200 submissions.

This time I got over 3000. Almost all AI - and almost all were botted responses that I bet the "designer" never even knew were submitted.

Fortunately a few people still know how to use photoshop.

Comment Re:Manufacturing jobs - why? (Score 3) 92

You can't go a single day without using something that required manufacturing. The food packaging was manufactured. The service person sat in a chair, at a desk, working on a phone and computer, talking over miles and miles of infrastructure and every single bit of that used manufactured products.

The ability to turn raw materials into finished goods is a core competency of any society and economy.

Manufacturing has higher pay that many other industries. Besides, we need assembly line jobs because that's all some people can do. But they also need tech and engineering to support them, managers to manage, sales to sell, accountants to count, etc.

It is very short sighted to think manufacturing is not beneficial to our society.

Firing someone is freedom of association and is just as important as freedom of expression. "Freedom of expression" is only valid when discussing the public square This is a great example of why your job market is crap and you all make 1/2 of what we do in America. Congrats, you get 30k for being fired... we get that every year because a business can take risks and get rid of crappy, crass employees.

Keep your system and talk all the shit you want. I'll take double the pay.

Exactly what indicators haven't already returned to where they were or better? Inflation, jobs added, GDP, market indexes and more are all doing just fine. Interest rates are still higher due to tariff uncertainty, but a quarter point isn't killing us. I'm not a billionaire, but my 401k and stocks are now at all time highs (because I'm not a retarded doomer drooler and bought during the dip). It's absolutely histrionics to claim things are markedly worse than a year ago.

I don't think there is an immigration "problem", and I do not understand nearly any of the MAGA talking points.

Have you tried? Have you looked at the immigration charts? Do you really think millions per year is what is normal and sustainable? Did you not understand Obama when he wasn't allowing millions in? This isn't a "MAGA" position, this is the position of a good majority of people. Even sanctuary cities are starting to not be so loud about defending illegal immigration. The inability to understand others implies a lack of empathy, ignorance, or lack of intelligence. Which is it with you?

We don't really have to pretend. She did exactly that (maybe not military plans, but then again we won't ever know because she wiped the server... you know, with a cloth) and people were told it was no big deal and we shouldn't worry about it.

I'm sure there will be subreddits dedicated to "butterytexts" or the like...

Oh, so do you support the idea that a farmer selling corn that he bought, grew, harvested, processed, and sold all in Iowa should be subjected to federal regulations because him selling within a single State could affect the market of inter-State commerce or are you just ignorant of how abused the commerce clause has been?
