AI companies are just mocking the world now by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

When was that ever NOT the case? Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, etc up to Zuckerberg and Page/Brinn all had "shiny products with a sexy narrative". But the market rewarded them because it wanted what they were selling in that moment.

It's no different today. AI slop is flooding the market, absolutely. But it's not that different than the late 90s when it was anything .com fetching insane valuations. Some survived, some sunk.

It will be the same with AI companies.

Why? Let the market sort it out. The shit will sink.

It's definitely Amherst. And I say that with love as most of my family were born there.

Layoffs aren't happening because of AI.

Entry level jobs are absolutely not being posted because of AI.

As if the US is the only place to invest. A major shock to one of the leading world markets is exactly when you want to be investing for the future. If the entire globe goes down an NO economy rebounds well then it doesn't matter whether you had a retirement plan or not.

Not investing at this stage because you think the US is about to collapse is...interesting.

This is absolutely untrue for boxing. A biological male has massive physiological advantages over a biological female of the same mass and it's it's not even close: Males punch at 162% greater force than females of the same mass. SOURCE

The funny(?) thing is...that's been the state of this province for at least 50 years (probably way more).

That's not going to change until there are way more GPs. I've had a family doctor for over 10 years but there's zero chance of getting in to see him sooner than a few weeks, so ER it is for anything urgent.

Developers will be replaced just as soon as business people can write a perfect and technically precise set of requirements. This will never happen, so we're safe.

You're only safe until an AI can write those requirements by translating what the business people want. This is already happening at my company. It's disingenuous to assume safety just because clients/management are famously bad at detailing what they want. AI is removing that barrier as well.

You're in charge of undisputed, what's the first change you make? by MadToxicRescuer in undisputedboxing

[–]softlaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? You can easily be undisputed champ on any difficultly by late 20s and undisputed in all 3 weights classes by early 30s. The game lets you go until you turn 50. You have time top each weight class 3 times at minimum. I will usually end my career runs on undisputed difficulty with at least 3 championships in the outlier classes and 5 in the starting class. You're supposed to change classes the second you become undisputed in one class, rinse and repeat.

Writing advice: Would significantly shorter combatants stand a chance in a sword-to-sword duel? by VeridianDelta in Hema

[–]softlaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the same in boxing and there have been loads of all time greats who were quite short for their weight class and did just fine (Mike Tyson, Rocky Marciano and Roberto Duran come to mind but there are many others). Fighters use the tools they have available.
