The Dow is over 45000! I said over a big number, so it must be good right?

They already trained their AIs on basically all the GPL code. They don’t care.

The worst case scenario also being the most common.

Why would they lie about that? If they truly are laying people off because of AI, they could say so and get a boost in investment since everyone seems to be investing in “AI companies”.

They could also just hide the fact that their cash cow (Fortnite) is not infinite.

Instead, they told actual reason that make actual sense for laying people off.

Of course, they probably have way more than enough money to pay those 1000 people. And you could critizise them for that instead.

I don’t understand how asking that question to “my politicians” would achieve anything.

“My politicians” are not arguing that prices increasing by a bit makes it okay for prices to increase by a lot. I’d argue that most of them would say that a little bit of inflation is good for the economy while hyperinflation is bad. Which I interpret as them knowing that “a little” is not the same as “a lot”. Which the above commenter doesn’t seem to know. Or at least knows only when it is convenient. Schrodinger’s knowledge perhaps.

Idk why you are discarding python for the reason that makes python the best option. If there is a programming language that a non-programmer should know, it’s python.

Not expensive? I just checked. It’s 8€/m for me. Which means 96€/year.

Maybe that’s not expensive for the USAians that earn hundreds of thousands per year. But it is expensive to just remove a few ads that can be easily blocked. It won’t even stop the Google tracking, it just stops the ads on YouTube. An ad blocker will also block the tracking.

Funny how that only works one way. It’s never “they are gonna tax me anyway, so I’ll pay double the taxes”.

If you are not fine with paying more than you should, why are you fine with prices increasing more than they should?

So everyone is either a farmer, a thief, or an unethical food-obtainer. Got it.

Always fun to find out other people’s values and ethics.

These are not losses. They’ll just push up the price of goods based on their chance of being stolen.

You’re not stealing from the store, you’re stealing from everyone else that actually pays for the products.

Unless you’re stealing from a small shop that doesn’t have the time and resources to calculate price based on theft. In which case, you are an asshole for stealing from a small business.

So every working person is an asshole and the only ethical way to obtain food is to steal it?

Doesn’t seem too ethical to me. Sounds like a justification for being an antisocial asshole.

A LOT of people out there just read whatever tho google AI tells them on their search. They’ve been trained that the answer is always the 1st non-ad link on Google. And now the thing at the top of a Google search is their LLM answer.

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t do what you do. You just asked why someone would be against doing an image post when it could be a text post and I answered.

What you are doing cannot be done with text posts because of reason 2 and 3.

It’s a hyperbole. It’s not unethical. But many people don’t like it/hate it.

1. An image is just more expensive than text. Text is usually ~1 byte per character. An uncompressed image is ~3bytes per pixel. Of course, most images are compressed, and compression does a lot of heavy lifting. But still. Also, you don’t need to uncompress plain text. More amount of bytes means more storage expense, more network expense, and worse user experience due to latency.
2. We have plenty of tools that work for text. You can copy-paste it. You can easily edit it with just a keyboard. It is easily configurable via fonts and font sizes.
3. Accessibility: text can be read by screen readers. Images (without alt text) cannot. Maybe there are some fancy screen readers that OCR images, but then it’s the case of point 1.
4. Text is easily indexable. Which means that it’s searchable. If the reddit search tool were any good, it could find the post. Not for images. Alternatively, 3rd party search tools such as google and DDG work.

There’s probably many more points.

No.

Nobody is going to become that rich out of skill/hard work/intelligence. The level of wealth we are talking here is only obtainable via the exploitation of others.

We are not talking about a highly skilled surgeon that saves many lives earning some hundred thousands per year. There are people out there that earn millions per month.

And you’re not leaving the rich people unaffected. You are taxing them. As I said, tax the businesses with huge profits, to support entrepreneurs in case their business fail, in order to have more entrepreneurs that can actually compete with the multimillion companies that do nothing but enshittify their products and underpay their workers.

What a bad take. Notepad was never meant to have formatting, as the post states. Notepad’s purpose was to open war text files as raw text. For formatted text, there was WordPad. What made notepad great is that it was the fastest and easiest way to just know what is in the damn file.

There is absolutely no one hard working or intelligent enough to be worth 4M$/hr.

Doesn’t matter how many Harvard-level degrees you have.

The only possible argument for someone earning that much money is if “they took a huge risk by investing a lot of money in a hugely risky business opportunity”.

And in that case, such risk should not exist. If a government wants to truly encourage entrepreneurship, it should provide with the basic needs for everyone, even if they lose everything in a risky business that didn’t pay off. At the expense of course of taxing it when it does pay off.

Otherwise, only the rich can be entrepreneurs.
