Why? English isn’t my first language but I can’t think of a single time that knowing my native language (not Spanish) was necessary to accomplish something useful in the USA (other than talking to my family, which isn’t relevant for the children learning a foreign language in school). I can’t think of a single time that not knowing Spanish prevented me from accomplishing something useful, either.

It’s a type of marble cheese, specifically Colby-Jack.

(like wet wipes)

Someone flushes a wet wipe into your septic tank? Justifiable homicide.

I’m guessing that the owner knows his bird well enough to tell if it’s happy or not. Some people assumed that I was being mean to my dog when I grabbed his tail, because he would spin around and bite my wrist. But actually it was his favorite game, which he came up with, not me. He would walk backwards to me with his tail sticking out because he wanted me to grab it.

How dare they exploit the basic human need for video game cosmetics!

Nothing wrong with eating cheese for dinner.

Texas isn’t forcing you to use prediction markets so how are you affected?

There’s certainly an adjustment period - I’m still learning how to use AI effectively and so is the industry as a whole. The technology is so new and the state of the art is evolving so quickly that there are no established best practices yet.

However, I think that in the long term, assuming human programmers remain relevant at all, we’ll adapt like we did to the development of high-level programming languages. That paradigm shift happened before I was born so I can’t speak from experience, but my impression is that the meaning of being a programmer changed.

Modern programmers are less skilled in some ways, in the sense that most can’t write assembly code, but they also have new skills for working with high level languages that make them significantly more productive overall.

I hope I have 30 years until I retire, but given how rapid progress has been, I’m worried about whether or not I’ll still have a job in just a tenth of that time. The technology is just a few years old and already so powerful that my bet is that current limitations will be overcome. (And the goal isn’t 100% accuracy, because humans don’t have 100% accuracy.)

It has already revolutionized software development. As my friend put it:

On the subject of claude code, I went to a high-level founder talk about code ai and the general consensus was that CEOs were telling their staff 100% of code must be written by an agent within 6 months or they have to leave the company. And all the focus was switching on to how you verify, for example, a 15000 line PR written entirely by AI.

100% of my own code is now written by AI. I’ve been programming for 20 years - I can write code myself, but the AI is so much faster than I could possibly be that managing it is far more productive.

The companies that won’t do well in that scenario are the ones that sell products to the sorts of people who will lose their jobs to AI. But not all companies do that.

(In the extreme case, there might be an economy no longer oriented primarily around what humans want.)

Serve and obey? No. Treat well? Maybe. Meanwhile I’m excited about the possibility of good futures for superhuman AIs themselves, not just for humans.

I wonder how they tracked him down.

I think people (correctly) assume that the poll will be used as evidence to criticize Trump, and if they support him they don’t want to give his opponents that evidence. So they’ll say whatever doesn’t imply criticism of him.

You can have a job that provides meaning, not just income, and you can still keep that job even after establishing sufficient passive income that you don’t strictly need to. Knowing that I don’t need to work anymore would make me feel more secure (especially since I worry that my skills will soon be replicated by AI) but it wouldn’t make me quit my job.

Depends on the price… I’m not going to pay the raccoon Taylor Swift money.

Does she kill you too, or is that billed separately?

Are you comparing the indoor volume inside a data center to the volume of a wind turbine? Because I don’t think people are living inside data centers…

While I agree with your general sentiment, I think you have chosen a metaphor that is almost maximally unpersuasive to your target audience.
