No saying negative things about the next Dot com bubble! I still have shares to cash out and bags to move onto the general public.

Oh, very soon only computers will be able to generate "realistic" enough images. Just like solving captchas.

"Very soon" is last year in this case

The best part is that this is going to work for about 5 days until someone develops a computer model of a face that can simulate the inside of the mouth. Then we have two problems!

Of course this will be an unpopular comment, but when it comes to things like this .. have you ever simply looked up the total net worth of all billionaires in the UK, and divided it by the total number of people living in the UK? Like .. you need to do one single division between two numbers to prove that your idea of just "seizing and redistributing the rich people's wealth" will accomplish nothing you think it will. A single division is all it takes.

Really? Because 50% of the UK wealth is in the hands of billionaires. So everyone in the country would suddenly be twice as wealthy (excluding the billionaires of course).

Perhaps you should check the facts before making statements like that!

Whilst generative AI is great for writing business letters and essays and all that, going straight for coding, one of, if not the hardest problem is a bit much.

This is a come back in 5 years when it works sort of thing.

Sadly the authors of LibreLingo were last seen being lead into the back of a white van by an enormous green owl

I don't know Go, but can't the situation be improved somehow? Either make channels better or remove them altogether?
ReflectedImage · 5 months ago
Well the problem is best stated as "I don't know how to use channels and I don't intend to learn". So perhaps some kinda of developer education is the solution?

We need a cross-cutting examination of how bad 'economics' is as a science, outside of a narrow defined set of measurable parameters
ReflectedImage · 5 months ago
Absolutely terrible.

The foundations of economics are built on school boy style maths errors.

They have famous "paradoxes" and results that are just bad maths.

It's a ridiculous joke of a research field.
