Remember AOL? They were like Wolf of Wallstreet or Glengarry Glenross
There was an article this week about panic in Britain over despairing people who are dropping out or never starting to engage the workforce. Rather than suggest for solving(or even mentioning) the root problems, the article talked about how it was inexplicable why young folks wouldn’t want to work in this economy, society and culture.
Hmm…same thing in US, same thing in many industrialzed countries where it’s no longer meritocracy, people have no job security, their physical health is failing (to say nothing of mental), higher education costs are completely detached from reality while they get you very little in the job market, COL makes even staying afloat let alone building a bit of wealth throw home ownership completely impossible and most younger folks can clearly see the ship has sailed.
Yeah, why are people quitting the scam?
Caught me completely by obvious
Customer support tier .5
It can be hella great for finding what you need on a big website that is poorly organized, laid out, or just enormous in content. I could see it being incredible for things like irs.gov, your healthcare providers website, etc. in getting the requested content in user hands without them having to familiarize themselves with constantly changing layouts, pages, branding, etc.
To go back to the IRS example, there are websites in the last 5 years that started to have better content library search functionality, but I guess for me having AI able to contextualize the request and then get you what you want specifically would be incredible. “Tax rule for x kind of business in y situation for 2024”—that shit takes hours if you’re pretty competent sometimes, and current websites might just say “here is the 2024 tax code PLOP” or “here is an answer that doesn’t apply to your situation” etc. “tomato growing tips for zone 3a during drought” on a gardening site, etc.
I’m in HR so benefits are a big one…the absolute mountain of content, even if you understand it, even experts can’t have perfect recall and quick, easy answers through a mountain of text seems like an area AI could deliver real value.
That said, companies using AI as an excuse to them eliminate support jobs because customers “have AI” are greedy dipshits as AI and LLMs are a risk at best and outside of a narrow library and intense testing are going to always be more work for the company as you not only have to fix the wrong answer situations but also get the right answer the old fashioned way. You still need humans and hopefully AI can make their work more interesting, nuanced and fulfilling.
Right, I read the article, Rudy is loved and hated for different reasons and getting more money is likely disappointing and surprising to some. Retrospect will be all that settles the debate.
🤷 guess we’ll see how this looks in retrospect.
Picture of the sand at the beach would also work.
That is awesomebut I’m terrified to learn it’s pronounced “fun-ji” instead of "fun-gi"with a hard “g”. Has this broken the mycology community as much as the tech community over gif?
There’s one born every minute, this is a great way to have them self-select for financial benefit.
So it’s all “treat the symptoms” rather than addressing what has changed in society, economy and culture to produce such increases?
Rapacious companies that inexhaustibly need more so your boss, or his, or theirs or the shareholders can buy another yacht?
Cost of living where many have given up on achieving what their parents did because the rigged game is so transparent?
Redistribution of wealth(through actual reasonable wages not poverty margins) and meritocracy in economy, mandatory flexible work arrangements, would be a good combination of starts for many.
I’m American and reading this, we have all the same ills–only most of us can’t take time off to be sick with any pay beyond 40 hours per year…and thats in the “progressive states”. Granted a few have state paid leaves now, like 5/50, and it’s real progress in the last few years but we are so far behind. hope things get bad enough the government actually starts turning over the right rocks finally.
This will 100% be the photo meme when Harris wins.
As an American, the parallels between Shor and Trump and Putin pulling strings on both his puppets are intense.
Lol legally mandated vacation? Try living in America
If you get the new Air Dubai card and spend $40T within 3 quarters, you get 400,000 miles that you can redeem through their rewards portal for a Casio.
This has been definitely addressed and answered. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/bonus-nobel-laureate-claudia-goldin-on-greedy-work-and-the-wage-gap/
The root causes of the gap are social, biological and unfortunately, unlikely to quickly change. These articles will continue to be printed though as rage bait is good for PPC.
Reminds me of when Ex-Halliburtom CEO Dick Cheney was appointed as Vice President of the United States, the United States went to war, Halliburton was awarded no bid contracts totaling tens of billions of dollars…and then systematically overcharged and defrauded the government about the services they provided over the contract they were awarded.
edit: it’s also interesting to see Liz Cheney quoted in this article arguing against a “left narrative” of grift and fraud when it clearly thrived under her father yet now she’s against the pinnacle of it in Trump.
Not that you’re wrong, this style of comms is immature and gross, but ad hominem attacks against the candidate “sucks”, “privileged dick” are a hypocritical way to make your point that we should be focusing on the issues.
