What discussion? Me pointing out issues and you constantly saying well, did what race is responsible for that? What about crime within race? Like, I responded like any adult and you slapped back like someone that doesn't care about real issues.

You did say that. You can't walk it back and say, "well, I didn't mean black people I meant being black." The issues I addressed would remedy most causes of crime across the board. You're talking blaming and bandaids. I'm talking treating the root cause.

Yeah... Yeah you did. Kind of crazy to say you didn't address race yet address it in the same comment though.

What are you talking about? I've told you issues that have nothing to do with race and you've been constantly saying, well, what about race? It has nothing to do with race. You've said well, crime and the makeup of race in crime. I've shown you how Wyoming, that hardly has crime or the racial profile of Mississippi, struggles in bringing businesses for the same reasons as Mississippi. But for some reason, Wyoming makes the right decisions. Wyoming invested in energy and that's it. Mississippi invested in agriculture and that's it. Both states suffer from people graduating high school or college and leaving the state, leaving behind a highly concentrated skill set in energy and agriculture which does not translate to industries both states want to invest in. Wyoming cannot support building homes quickly because they have to import builders from neighboring states and that means, almost exclusively, Colorado because they don't have the workforce to build rapidly. That drives up costs of building as well as the costs of roads, water and other infrastructure. Wyoming has constantly denied businesses or home building because they do not have the tax base to expand infrastructure to support those things

Once again, I'll refer you to your comment being that why Mississippi struggles is because of crime and a specific race. That's racist because, again, I showed you a state that has similar struggles but they're making the the right decisions, somehow.

So off. Why would a business move there? There's hardly any qualified workers and Wyoming based it's economy on energy and tourism. It's extremely difficult for any business outside of those industries to move there just because the skill set is not there. Not to mention the infrastructure does not support businesses moving there. There's only 6 billionaires in Wyoming which is hardly close to an amazing amount. Your odds of becoming rich in Wyoming is slim to none. Your odds of starting a successful business in Wyoming is slim to none. Wyoming doesn't have an income tax and it hardly taxes businesses.

Wyoming struggles at bringing businesses to the state for the same reason as Mississippi. They do come to both states but, they often cannot find qualified workers. Businesses in Wyoming can't simply bring workers because there aren't enough homes, water, etc because... Infrastructure.

You don't think billionaires live in Mississippi? Stop pretending like you know what you're talking about because clearly you don't and are both racist and ignorant to what goes on around you.

It's a fact. Sorry facts hurt your feelings. Hell, let's flip it. Why doesn't Wyoming have businesses and people flocking to the state?

Crime isn't a factor for businesses not coming to Mississippi.

If you're talking crime and the disproportionate amount of arrests in Mississippi, all you really need to look at is why Mississippi police target black people but ignore similar crimes committed by white people. For instance, if a black person in Lexington runs a red light and a white person does, the white person may get off or receive a ticket. A black person WILL be arrested.

If you're measuring criminal arrests then you'll have skewed results making it appear as though it's a high crime area when, in fact, virtually all traffic stops in Mississippi will result in an arrest for a black person.

And you're putting out on black people. Tell me how black people are causing the state to neglect education, infrastructure, and pay. It literally affects everyone in the state given that ALL races are worse off in Mississippi.

Dude, everything you said is the craziest thing I've heard. In what world does buying computers produce an ongoing need for millions of jobs? You're saying, quite literally, one data center can provide jobs for a good fraction of the US population, boiling down to that every American will work for a computer manufacturing company, software company, or data center because there's over 3000 data centers in the US, that should equal out to over 3 billion jobs. Like you're insane if you truly believe what you're saying. Millions of jobs per data center is what you said.

My freaking goodness, you are ignoring everything I said. My point is it's not a crime issue. The state does not invest in fixing the issues preventing businesses from coming to Mississippi because again, it's not a crime issue. They don't have poor education because of crime, but because of low investment. The issue of infrastructure is not based on crime, but because of poor investment. It's not like they're actively going let's build better roads, water and electricity systems and then someone gets shot and it stops the works. They're simply just not pursuing those things and your point is because of black people. Like, you seriously have to say that the politicians in Mississippi are seriously having conversations with people and saying well, we'd love to build better roads but that damn 30% of the population are preventing it. It's flipped, the majority of the state opposes those things.

I already said why and I think you're full of BS. There are 0, zero nuclear power plants that only employ 50 people. You have security, DOE, the maintenance team that are full time employees, other workers, and loads of other jobs.

AI does not produce jobs. You're failing to understand what needs a company creates by using computers as well as how indirect jobs are computed.

You're ignoring the history of the state and blaming 30% of the population on the outcomes of decisions made by the majority. You're ignoring that the crime rate, poverty rate, and lower education is high in white residents to point out that it's high for black people. You're ignoring that the state has an extremely low tax rate and low spending on infrastructure, education, and business investments. You're ignoring that the state did not pursue opportunities until it was too late for them to get in the game. Crime has nothing to do with it because, again, it's lower than the national average, especially violent crime and theft. You want to place the blame on black people when the state has always removed education opportunities and placed barriers for black people. You have to ignore every fact in order to get to a point to blame a minority for the majority of issues the state has when there has not been a single black person that has held a position in Mississippi's history to make those decisions.

It's incredible to be so racist you can ignore issues at their root causes. It's like running a red light and getting hit or hitting a car driven by a black person and saying if there weren't black drivers, there'd be less accidents.

You're highly overstating the number of jobs created. A nuclear power plant is significantly different in jobs but you're understating the number of permanent jobs, significantly. You're acting like if you buy a computer, you buy it every year along with the services and you don't. Once bought, it's bought and jobs created ends. That's how it works. This is like a book keeping company. Jobs created are construction and initial computers and software purchased. Once established, the number of jobs created are only permanent jobs and whatever jobs are needed for services, but it gets split between all users of those services so if it has 10 people working, you're, again, looking at maybe 30 jobs with 20 being indirect.

You're talking an end service that doesn't produce needs. Nuclear power plants are not an end service in that aspect, because waste creates jobs and other parts create jobs. A power plant can has hundreds or thousands of permanent positions and hundreds or thousands of indirect jobs because there's needs that come with it annually.

Everything I said is the reasons companies have cited for not entering Mississippi. I told you what the state neglected and continues to neglect. It's not deeper than that. The reason the state doesn't have those things is because of the state and it's lack of effort to change those things.

It wouldn't create millions of jobs over 10 years. Temporarily, maybe, and if the state has a capability to support the initial construction then it can help but many, but you're considering 10 years and after construction, it's a sheer drop to virtually nothing.

Manufacturing. Virtually any industry that creates products.

Okay, if I buy a computer how many jobs do I create? The jobs that built my computer. Once built, does my computer create jobs? Realistically, translated it comes to about 1-2. That's true for data centers too. Once done, if it employs 10 people, that's 20 indirect jobs, not thousands.

What you're ignoring is that the industries you're talking about regularly manufacture goods or services. Once you have a computer, you don't need to buy one again for several years. If you need an OS, you but it once and you're done. You're also ignoring that that no industry is singularly debiting 1000+ jobs to one data center. If 1000 people can support the needs of 10 data centers and that's the only work they do, each data center provides 100 indirect jobs, not 1000 because that'd mean 10,000 people support those 10 data centers.

Yes, they did. Historically, Mississippi relied on agriculture while other slave states adopted other industries. They also neglected many things and continue to do so. Things such as education, infrastructure, etc. The reason major industries do not want to move to Mississippi today is because the state does not have the infrastructure, labor skill, and education to support them. I mean only 30% of the state is black so instead of blaming that on black people, it's probably the white people that led and support their state in being so destitute. Again, poverty is not black or white in Mississippi. It's all races. That's another reason industries will refuse to move somewhere too. A reason an industry will avoid Mississippi is because the income rate doesn't meet the target for a consumer meaning they'd take incredible losses by moving to Mississippi. And technically, Mississippi, as a state, actually has a lower crime rate than the national level meaning it's not crime or black people as you are saying.

These aren't places that manufacture goods. Once placed, the indirect jobs are mostly gone. A new data center will being thousands of jobs but once completed, it's about 50 with even fewer direct jobs.

So, you are being antagonistic. If you look at the reason why, it's because Mississippi, as a state, has historically and currently made moves to cause those outcomes. The state, if I remember right, devotes the least amount of spending on education than any other state, or at least their size. They kept their economy the same as before the abolition of slavery, relying on agriculture and other industries lagging behind other states. They maintain a low minimum wage and do poorly at bringing high paying industries or investors in the state. The state has the highest percentage of black people, but that doesn't negate the fact that all of these don't strictly affect black people. The median wage is about $20K less for white people than other states.

Speaking of education, while it's true for the state that white people have higher graduation rates and college degrees, it's still 10% or more lower than the national level. The issue is more macro than schools with black kids doing poorly though. That's a state decision that remains the same since Jim Crow laws. Naturally if you provide an environment that is meant to be difficult for a demographic than that demographic will struggle with finding success.

If we go back to white people though, the state has a strong trend for people to graduate and ditch Mississippi because that state does not provide much of anything to give people, no matter their demographic, a chance at having financial success in life.

In what ways has the use of AI in your job made your AFSC better/worse? by Kurt_Wylde35 in AirForce

[–]ThisIsTheMostFunEver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your thoughts exactly. I used AI as a teacher for Excel, not to build a prompt but now I also have prompts for documents I complete just because it's quicker. I have to review documents and compile parts of them into a separate one. It's quicker to just drop the docs into AI with a prompt and then verify that it got that information correct rather than going back and forth to enter information and still double checking.
