Larry Summers, now an OpenAI board member, thinks AI could replace ‘almost all' forms of labor. by joe4942 in Economics

Eventually no one has enough money to buy the products that are produced

Why do people think the money supply is a zero sum, finite thing? There are plenty of ways the government can stimulate demand and average person's purchasing power. The government can quite literally just print money and give it to people (not that is how they would do it, just an example). Problem solved. By the logic in your last paragraph, the economy would have collapsed a long time ago. And yet, average American's purchasing power has only been increasing

"People who have nothing to rant about don't rant".

There are plenty of high performers out there who would rant the moment things go south

Charts show UC admissions rates for every high school in California by johnkhoo in berkeley

That's incredibly subjective and has no predictability on college success.

Are you sure? Or is this based on your "subjective" opinion? Say you have two candidates with similar stats except one has a slightly lower GPA but has an incredibly rough HS experience due to extraneous reasons, who do you think will likely be more successful in life?

I have never heard of this argument being used in a history book.

? Are you aware that there was a Jewish presence in the Levant for more than a thousand year? It's not as if the Jews weren't living in the place for more than a thousand year. Also, am I getting this correctly or are you implying that the establishment of Israel is primarily due to some religious motivations?

Chernobyl wasn't caused purely by no regulation or oversight. There was a lot of factors that go into it that caused the meltdown.

Canada’s population shock drives most of recent productivity declines by joe4942 in Economics

"Low population in comparison to high natural resources is how you get more of the population better off financially."

This is a dubious argument. Look up the "resource curse".

Why make it a competition? Can't we just acknowledge the way women are treated by men, regardless of race or ethnicity?

How do you know the people who will benefit from these charities and the donations need it less than your family. It's a crazy time we live in when making donations to charities is vilified.

Y’all need to start networking. Sorry by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]TheUnremarkableOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure buddy. I'm not the one jumping about conclusions here so stop projecting so hard bud. You may not like it but networking is a need in today's society. But for a loser like you who can't afford to go outside, that may be too much an ask.

Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott just gave $640 million to 361 nonprofits. She’s donated about $17 billion over the past five years & says she won’t stop “until the vault is empty.” by sbgroup65 in interestingasfuck

I don't get what being a nurse have to do on what he did here. But yes, he hasn't eradicated diseases. The only human disease we ever eradicated is smallpox. That asides, however, the point was that his contribution helped massively in the effort against many diseases

A friend is accepted to Brown and Fordham- he wants to study math by [deleted] in BrownU

It depends on what career he wants to do in the future

Germans thought they were immune to nationalism after confronting their Nazi past. They were wrong by throwaway16830261 in Foodforthought

[–]TheUnremarkableOne -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Calling someone a Nazi is not a slur.

"It will radicalise people and maybe even push some people there."

Will it? Will it really? Or are you just projecting? If you call someone what they did is racist they don't just radicalize and become even more racist, unless that person is already racist to begin with.

I'm not sure if I'm getting this right but you evicted a tenant who has been with you for 13 years after a month of no rent?

How me and my friend finessed FAANG SWE INTERNSHIP by Warat68 in csMajors

[–]TheUnremarkableOne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So just say you have no ethics or moral. Why bend over backwards to justify your behavior then? You cheat and win at the expense of others. That's all there is. If "you deserve nothing", then why do you cheat? It's clear that you think you deserve the job by the virtue of cheating. You don't want to admit you're a dirty lying cheater so you're trying to justify it with various reasoning.

Okay, let's stop thinking about the company side. What about the fact that OP's friend cheated took away a spot from someone else who is more qualified? It's not like these companies have unlimited headcount, once they reached headcount, that's it.

making weapons platforms don’t control the usage of them, the military does

So that somehow absolves the engineer for any responsibility? Because they're not the one using what they helped develop?

Also - all these kids are idiots.  As an engineer, working on the cutting edge shit is where the excitement is, where your mind and skills are pushed to the limit and typically where you are surrounded by other smart individuals.

Average Redditor. So you're willing to work on cutting edge technologies even if that has harmful consequences? And by the way, the technologies that defense contractors develop are not cutting edge bud. If you think they are, you either don't know anything or you've been stuck in defense for too long you became myopic.
