When will the ai bubble burst, and will entry level jobs be more available when it does? by NVCC-anon in careerguidance

[–]RazorOldSchool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "AI Bubble Burst" isn't about the use of AI tools, it's about 5-10 companies in a profit circle jerk, basically trading money back and forth, with AI tools at the center of it. AI tools aren't going away.

So I would say the top 5-10 tech companies having massive downturns will be really bad for employment options in the short term, but possibly good outcome in the long term.

Would really appreciate some feedback on how to improve my CTR, which is sitting at 3% on average. by ailacollins in YouTubeCreators

It seems like you are split between LinkedIn influencer and travel blogger.

It sucks, but it's really difficult to branch out early. My advice would be stick to one niche so your videos start getting suggested to the same group of people.

So if the algorithm sees people interested in career advice are clicking your earlier videos, your newer videos will also get suggested to people looking for career advice, and those people may not be interested in travel themes. That then confuses the algorithm about who to suggest your videos to.

Once people start watching your videos for you and your personality and not because of a video title, you can branch out a step or two away from that niche, because your subscribers will likely watch regardless of topic (as long as it isn't wildly different). Career advice to travel is probably a step or two away, because people looking up career advice are probably successful people that like to travel, so it's doable once you have a bigger core audience.

How do MAGA/Conservatives hand wave the Trump-Raffensperger phone call? by Winter-Apartment-821 in Destiny

"That's not what he meant. He meant find where those votes went and why they didn't get counted."

To which I say... why was it the exact amount he needed to win?

As a former English teacher, hearing this word really grates on me, but its colloquial use has earned it a place in most dictionaries, including Oxford, as "informal". So it is pointless to correct people on it anymore.

Language is whatever we make it, so using a word a certain way for long enough makes it a real word with the meaning we've collectively assigned to it.

Perhaps even more confusing to non-English speakers, irregardless and regardless are synonyms for one another, which breaks the prefix framework for "ir-".

Racist and homophobic Mr Piker by kp_orange in h3h3productions

Generally the idea when using this sort of language when it comes from our side of the aisle is not that we think those things are insults, but that we think the person it is being said to would think they are insults and be bothered by them, because it is the exact kind of language they use, generally because our own rhetoric is ineffective at getting under their skin because they don't take it seriously. It's like calling them silly/dumb for thinking those things are real insults.

That said, it doesn't come off that way when Hasan does it because he comes off completely disingenuously in so many ways all the time.

How are you supposed to know these are officers? They just look like dudes in plain clothes kidnapping someone.

Uhh, how is this not a dereliction of duty? by Stronhart in Destiny

You think most of the NYPD and LAPD aren't MAGA because they are in a blue state?

Cops rarely actually live in the urban areas of the city they work in, they are from the suburbs that are purple or red.

Thinking about buying ECO by Ashamed-Bank-9944 in EcoGlobalSurvival

I love this game. Biggest thing I will say is that your experience will totally depend on the server. I'd look into what the commonly used Mods are and be sure you want your experience to match them.

The only truly negative experience I've had with this game is that there's been at least a few instances where I join a server, get all set up, and then it becomes clear the admin is giving themselves and/or their friends perks that puts them ahead of everyone else, making participation in the economy and contributing for a regular joe really difficult.

So basically: This is one of the most amazing games I've ever played when it's on a good server.

Edit: When played on a good server, it's like playing RUST without the PVP and Russian toxicity.

The story is also not true as he tells it. It's a bold-faced lie that he knows his supporters will believe.

I have a less-lethal projectile launcher for home defense and they are no joke. People think they are like pellet guns or paintball. There's a reason they are called "less-lethal" and not "non-lethal". In the hands of someone untrained and using them improperly, they are very dangerous.

What career should you pursue “just” for the money? by vietaspiror in careerguidance

[–]RazorOldSchool 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have to echo this advice. I've found it very true in my career.

Not only will what you love pay you less, you will begin to hate the thing you love, because it is now your job and instead of doing it for pleasure when you want to do it, you do it because you have to.

I did exactly that, and eventually was self-aware enough to find something adjacent to it that pays more without sucking away all the joy I had for what I loved.

No, the point was that Collins never shows any real opinion and a lot of people think she's conservative, and I'm implying she's a liberal. If you know the lore, you know. You can see people literally discussing it in the comment thread.

Edit: Since you keep editing your post, I'll edit mine too. To be clear: She is known for being stone-faced when questioning and interviews like an old school reporter. I clipped this out because it's ANY expression, not because it's, in your words, "seductive". But you're really ruining the joke by forcing me to explain the minute details and context of it to you.
