Let's say meta subscribes 100 million people, that's 2 billion a month and 24 billion a year. They spent 70 billion on datacenters last year and 130 billion this year. Do you think they will make that money back? I don't, they won't get that many subscribers.

when it comes to ground floor work. We all knew this 'psychosis' is taking place, but it's not really psychosis. This has happened before with offshoring and other cost cutting measures. The problem is headcount reduction looks good on paper, but something will give way on the quality or production side of things and it takes a long time to notice, can even be years for the information to filter up and the dips to be seen on graphs. One thing is for sure, AI doesn't run itself and it requires checking.

Only produces content that is fit for the c-suite and their budget. People can tell if a movie has been produced with money first in mind. The good movies have a heart and soul, that gets ripped out when movie execs rule. Disney is pretty gross when it comes to money and if you start to look around and get your head out of the magic it gets pretty disgusting.

The same people that would digest both with be happy with either

Let's do it with wealth redistribution completely and have the people that should be paying taxes pay their taxes. Let's do a flat tax, stop all these loopholes and minimum taxes. It shouldn't be that hard. But the biggest problem is we have a system now where there are two problems. Number one) people are not saving money anymore on the bottom which makes them unwealthy because investing is one of the best ways to accrue wealth. Number two) let's stop making it easy for companies to nickel and dime consumers. Let's start the incentivizing companies to raise subscription rates and other ways that money is going to the top. The economy is 30 years ago didn't used to be this way there were local businesses and money used to circulate regionally we've allowed companies like Amazon to take over most of the supply chain and they're getting bigger. In a way that's a good thing we get convenience but also wealth inequality. Okay I'm done rantng now

It's awesome to let the whole world know you bought tacos at the local food truck, but why was this a feature in the first place.

I totally agree with this statement. Anyone who thinks that prioritizing LPR's over privacy can move to an authoritarian. LPR surveillance is unconstitutional. If they want to use LPR information, then make it a warranting process. There have been so many abuses of the system with local government because the data isn't controlled.

The CEO didn't know that, they have never used a coding agent and don't know the difference between a either or AI

Yes, you still have to take upper level classes and specialize. To get an MS usually you have to do a project or thesis. A Project doesn't get you out of writing, it gets you out of academia with less work and not getting published research.

Yeah, it makes things easier. Don't we have amendments against this? If we let this cat out of the bag it's not coming back.

It's really a race to the bottom on price with workers and companies. Someone with and MS will have more specialized knowledge and also better abilities to write, think critically, jump through hoops and do research. People don't see the value in long term investments anymore, it's all about how much more revenue can I make in the next quarter, why would they invest in someone that goes to school an extra 4 years. It's crazy too because usually the only way to move up in a career or salary is to switch companies. You can get away with things like this in the short term but long term something will give way.

Oh, who told you that, maybe you should educate yourself on plastic recycling. Plastic IS RECYCLABLE, PET and HDPE are 100% recyclable for 15 to 30% over the cost of producing it at scale. The problem is getting the plastic sorted and getting it recycled at scale and then getting the plastic manufacturers to use it. The problem is 1) getting people to get it to the recycling facility in a way that can be sorted 2) getting the recyclers to sort it and recycle it 3) getting manufacturers to buy recycled plastic

Which is right up Cali's playbook. Now the bottle makers will take the lable off and you won't know what kind of plastic it is. They should just require the bottlemakers to put a fraction of the recycled plastic in their bottles which they probably won't do either. Or a better way would be put a tax on plastic bottles and move that money to the recyclers

But nothing else, I would also set the limit low

No, this has to be about B2B transactions. The Chinese want it and the US wants to sell it. You would think that OpenAI, Anthropic, Google would push back so they could stay ahead with their models. It's worked for them so far, except when deepseek models started getting good.
