As the AI market continues to balloon, experts are warning that its VC-driven rise is eerily similar to that of the dot com bubble.

    Not everyone can flex into new roles. Have some compassion for those who get left behind. The lack of compassion in your response actually causes you to look conservative.

      I have compassion. I think the government should invest heavily into retraining programs and moving subsidies.

      I don’t think we should hold all of progress back because somebody doesn’t want to change careers

      Edit: retraining, not restraining. That’s an important typo fix lol

      What if we were finally able to get insurance companies out of healthcare in the US? Thousands would lose their jobs, but millions would suddenly be able to get care. So much money would be saved, but so many people would suddenly be out of work.

      I don’t know about you, but I hate paying several hundred dollars a month (and 100s or 1000s if I actually get care) to prop up a whole ass middleman between me and my care.

      Anyway, my point is we can’t keep old systems only for the sake of preserving jobs. The guy you’re replying to is short sighted and relying too heavily on a language imitation program, but he’s essentially right about not keeping jobs just because.

        @new_acct_who_dis Yeah, but that wouldn’t hurt as much because all the people out of work would still have healthcare.

        AI displaced creatives will lose their healthcare.

      The lack of rationale and reason in your response actually causes you to look conservative.
