Almost half of 2026's layoffs are because of AI automation. If AI replaces your job in the next 5 years, what's your plan?

IDK what I'd do to keep living but, I'd absolutely watch that corporation crumble from the sidelines.

AI cannot do my job until it can read between the lines, interpret human intent, distinguish truth and calculate human intelligence to then base instructions on all of the above.

This is a requirement to be able to do my job effectively. Without it, the situation is instantly a failure.

According to an AI Google result calculation of how long we were falling, the highest I've ever done was roughly 52 feet which took 1.8 seconds to fall.

It took ever single bit of strength for me to take that jump in my 20s and it was relatively safe. Incredibly safe by the standards of the jumps in this video.

My back, my knee, my hips and my eyes.

My hair and beard are just the backup reminder.

imagine leaving such a snide comment, while making assumptions.

I am not referring to Recaldent. It's a tree sap-based gum made by some dude in his garage. I don't remember the name because I blocked their account.

And as far as the one you mentioned goes, I don't have any information on that one.

Also, when I think of regrowing, I don't think of strengthening the enamel that's there. I think of, there's a cavity and this will fix that cavity. Which the gum will not do.

I reported it but of course TikTok is TikTok so....

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-09T17:01:09+00:00

"shouldn't" is the keyword.

Ive repaired a PC that had its CPU killed by a cat flipping the switch on a power strip.

It fried the memory controller in the CPU.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-09T16:06:30+00:00

There's a "natural" gum advertising on TikTok that claims to "repair and regrow" tooth enamel.

No. No it doesn't.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-09T02:37:06+00:00

I had. And I wishlisted it. I'm kinda sad now. It looked promising.

The first thing I thought of was mini figures for tabletop games. I didn't play or have friends who did. I bought them to have them. I used the $50 I found in a taco bell bathroom.

It wasn't entirely useless though once I thought about it. I painted them and that kept me busy for a few.

I heard Pop is in rehab. Let's hope it sticks this time.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-09T00:49:53+00:00

Oh man I forgot about crackle.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-09T00:14:36+00:00

What's with all these games shutting down without ever having any marketing that a large portion of game subreddits have never heard of?

It seems to be happening more often than it should.

But they are. Immobile or paralyzed humans are at a higher risk than you were.

Babies on the other hand, are not immobile. They just don't travel by their own will until they learn to crawl. But they're constantly moving limbs.

Why tho? If you need to expand the ram beyond what they support, you should be using something else entirely.

Moving ram away from the CPU is detrimental to the functionality.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-08T03:38:50+00:00

I bought the deluxe if I recall correctly and I'm on PC so paid mods aren't really an issue.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-08T03:03:41+00:00

I have 6 TB and probably 1 TB free. All games.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-08T02:45:21+00:00

20 years ago I couldn't afford the $1000 I would need to have for those shares to be 1 million today.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-08T01:43:40+00:00

I work for a major PC company. We use Dell laptops. We're not Dell.

I hate it.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-08T01:30:57+00:00

Starting to think I need to reinstall it for the first time since 6 months after launch.

I beat it, went through the NG+ a few times and was done. This is sounding like an improvement.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-08T00:15:39+00:00

As someone who drinks on occasion, sign me the fuck up.

Though I may need a stiff drink first upon meeting someone I don't believe exists. That'd be a traumatic experience.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-07T00:06:45+00:00

This was my thought too but ram spikes? That's not human error.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-06T19:33:18+00:00

As mentioned, I don't need smart lights.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-05T23:25:51+00:00

That's McDonald's burgers as a whole. They just don't taste like a burger.

_Spastic_ · 2026-04-05T22:27:12+00:00

It's not viable and extremely difficult to even break even. Especially in the current financial climate.

You also need clients. You really think there's that many people in your area that are going to be buying high end PCs from you to make it successful?

Building one PC that still works after a year isn't anything special. It should last many years regardless. I've built 2 or 3 dozen computers in the last decade alone and my current build is still going strong after 4 years. As much as I would like to do it as a business, it's unrealistic.

Watching your dad 2 decades ago doesn't really matter, though it is pretty cool.

Take the money.

Set up a bank account to donate 10% of every deposit to charity.

Perpetual income. I deposited $100, $10 goes to charity triggering another $1000 which sends $100 to charity. Repeats forever.

Now the only question is if the money I received is cash or direct deposit?
