The issue with health concerns like this is that it's not like it explodes and kills you - there's really no way to say, "It was the molecule on March 13, 2026 that started cancer in your body"
You can't even do that with cigarettes - you can only make a conclusion on cause that's well supported by circumstantial evidence.
And I'm not saying you're arguing against it, but just broadly speaking
What's gonna stop obesity among Americans isn't permanent standard time. It really, REALLY isn't that.
A good start would be making healthy food that isn't 1,000,000 calories per pound, and not made of fat and sugar mixed in unknown chemicals affordable. And taxing the living shit out of junk food. And getting people to stop eating supertanker-sized servings.
The question is simply, can an agentic LLM process do workload X for cheaper than a person? If yes, then the job is gone.
Typical AI shill answer (and the word "agentic" in the sentence is a dead giveaway too).
Wrong logic: a person's job should be gone if your "agentic" thing does the job cheaper AND at least as well.
As always, AI shills conveniently forget to factor in the quality of the work produced.
The reality of AI is, while it might be cheaper than real workers, it also enshittifies the entire world. And that's a fact.
Does it work without a Facebook account and 24/7 creepy corporate surveillance?
Oh...
The issue is: how many people did AI displace?
Hmm no: I trust a coal miner to produce better code than an AI vibe coder.
is right: it's going nowhere.
Adapters are your friend. Undo that knot in your pants.
I want to hire you as prompt engineer! - Sorry I meant types-question guy.
I did it as a teenager and I'm close to retirement.
There's even a movie about it from that time period.
I live near the arctic circle and this is common knowledge.
Is anybody surprised by this?
I know Yen retracted his statement, but that's not good enough. I don't trust him like I wouldn't trust Elon Musk if he apologized for the Nazi salutes, because doing it once kills your credibility forever - or at least makes it exceedingly hard to prove you're not that person later on.
Proton should have thrown Yen out immediately after that incident if they had wanted to preserve their reputation and they didn't. So I don't trust Proton.
Next up: the measles epidemic might be linked to the anti-vax HHS.
Elon's MechaHitler doesn't quality for the AI Darwin Awards because it's still very much alive and spreading its poison.
Winning a Darwin Award implies that the recipient removed him- or herself from the gene pool through stupidity. In the case of AI, I would assume the most important criterion is that the egregious AI has been pulled our. MechaHitler hasn't.
Most deployments of AI are either very shit or done for nefarious purposes. More often than not, both, because I consider replacing capable humans with mediocre machines to save money a nefarious use of the machines.
The irony of your sarcasm is it actually *is* horrible.
Water is good - necessary even - but too much water will kill you. Choice is the exact same way - it's entirely possible to have too much of it, as much as that contradicts an ethos buried deeply in the American id.
Old programmers never die, they just branch to a new address.
