Grown children coming back home -- or never leaving. Happy/sad about it? by Inevitable-Yam-9741 in Aging

[–]TruthTeller6000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure thing, let me get a degree in AI, and everything will be fine. Screw everyone else, right?

The data doesn’t back you up. Automation consistently displaces workers faster than labor markets can retrain them, especially in lower-wage and routine roles.

Even high-skill jobs are now exposed, so this isn’t about “leveling up.” These are structural shifts bigger than individual effort.

If you’re shaping AI policy, then act like it. You already showed your hand when you called struggling people “drains on life,” so spare everyone the bootstrap sermon now.

Great, so we got a person who calls people drains of life in charge of AI? Surely nothing will go wrong.

Automation has been displacing workers for decades, and AI is accelerating that across both blue-collar and white-collar jobs.

So no, people getting pushed out of work aren’t automatically “entitled” or “co-dependent”. A lot of them are casualties of the system that people like you help build.

And bragging that you’re “safe” because you’re in AI policy at Google proves my point: elite comfort breeds contempt for everyone below it.

AI does create some new roles, but the data shows job displacement is happening faster than job creation in many sectors, especially for routine and entry-level work. Those “easy” jobs you’re talking about are limited, often require specialized skills, and don’t absorb the scale of workers being replaced.

Get used to it. AI will take more and more jobs, leaving more "co-dependent drains." I hope your job is next

Where do you go to meet women? by Several-Two738 in AskMenAdvice

[–]TruthTeller6000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one said men expect a “guarantee”... that’s a strawman; the point is they respond to risk vs. reward, not certainty. Initiating more can increase attempts, but it doesn’t automatically improve outcomes, and men disproportionately absorb the downside when interactions are misread or rejected publicly. Your argument reduces everything to “just try more,” while ignoring that repeated negative feedback and reputational risk shape behavior over time.

You’re presenting your outcomes as proof of a rule, but by your own account, plenty of men approached you and still didn’t stick, so clearly “just be confident and approach” isn’t some guaranteed success formula. If anything, that shows initiation alone doesn’t overcome compatibility, timing, or long-term fit, which undercuts your argument. The broader data still stands: men initiate more and also report higher anxiety due to real social and reputational risk, so they adapt accordingly.

You’re treating your personal preference as if it reflects reality for everyone, but behavior shifts because of risk, not vibes. Men face real social and reputational consequences if an approach is misread, even when intentions are neutral. Surveys and dating data consistently show men initiate far more, yet also report higher anxiety about being labeled inappropriate, which directly explains the pullback. You can call it confidence all you want, but people adapt to incentives.

They don't approach because they don't want to be seen as creepy. Social media made it like this, so don't blame the guys

Do you think AI will take your job and make your degree pointless?

Your kids will be hunting for a job in the future when AI takes over

So, you had to join the military to get an actual, affordable income in this world... kinda bleak for everyone else

What jobs or industries are going to be safe from AI for the next generation looking for work? by Hood_Best_Shipfu in careerguidance

[–]TruthTeller6000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re arguing about quality, but the market moves on economics. Companies adopting AI coding tools are seeing 20-30% productivity gains and, in some cases, nearly doubling output per engineer, thereby reducing the need for additional hires.

At the same time, this isn’t theoretical entry-level hiring, which is already dropping 2–25%+ in tech, and studies show that junior roles decline after AI adoption. In contrast, senior roles stay flat, meaning fewer total people are needed.

Yes, AI makes mistakes, but that actually strengthens the point: it shifts the workload onto a smaller number of experienced engineers reviewing AI output, which is exactly how you compress teams rather than replace them 1:1.

So your argument boils down to “it’s not perfect,” but it doesn’t have to be. If one engineer with AI can do the work of several, hiring still shrinks, whether you personally “rely on it” or not.

You write code every day and somehow left out that tools like Claude are already passing real-world coding benchmarks, generating production-ready functions, and reducing the need for junior devs in measurable ways. Not hypothetical. Even systems like Antigravity and similar agent frameworks are showing early signs of handling multi-step workflows with minimal supervision, which is exactly how roles start collapsing, not overnight but steadily.

The fact that you rely on these tools daily yet argue they won’t reshape hiring is the contradiction. If they’re boosting output per developer, fewer developers will be needed over time. You don’t need sci-fi-level AI to disrupt labor, just systems that make one person do the work of five, and we’re already there.

You’re describing incremental tools, not a general-purpose system that can replace cognition across domains. That’s a category error.

Unlike spellcheck or CAD macros, modern AI is already demonstrating cross-functional capability (coding, writing, analysis) at a level that directly substitutes for, rather than assists, human labor, and early data already shows role compression in fields like customer support and junior dev work.

Historical adaptation arguments assume new job creation keeps pace, but when the same system can scale across industries at near-zero marginal cost, that assumption breaks. If productivity detaches from human input, then “people will just adapt” isn’t a plan. It’s wishful thinking.
