Here's a case study for you: An eating disorder hotline got rid of the humans in favor of an AI chatbot. Lasted less than a week before it was giving horrible advice.
I'm convinced the media wants Trump to win exclusively because he makes them lots of money. They made a killing during the Trump years just by reporting on the live status of the dumpster fire.
They haven't made as much money under Biden, so they're undermining the fuck out him in favor of Trump.
This thread is a couple months old at this point but I figured I'd reply anyway.
Maybe you had a different experience but I experienced this transition in middle/high school in west MI. The first Gen iPhone released in 2007. 3G was widespread and while that might be considered slow these days, it was state of the art speed at the time, so it wasn't considered "slow and unusable".
In 2007, kids my age didn't have much tech beyond an iPod or MP3 player. By 2009, almost everyone had a smartphone. That was a huge leap in internet accessibility.
Personally, my theory is that the advent of "hiring algorithms" caused this. The widespread use of AI for weeding out candidates has gone way too far. These softwares are purging resumes of perfectly qualified candidates without the human hiring managers ever knowing about it.
That's why every company right now is bitching that they can't find anyone to hire while every unemployed person I know saying that jobs are impossible to get.
Anecdotally, that's also why you get ghosted by companies instead of rejected. They have no idea you ever applied.
Don't let a bunch of internet bozos convince you that your interests are bad or stupid. Some people just aren't into the things that you are and vice versa. They don't even know you! Fuck em!
I like nuclear a lot too, but it does have its drawbacks:
Expensive. Plants are expensive to build and maintain. They also take like 5-10 years to build from scratch.
Water intensive. In the coming century water is going to a really hot commodity as water reserves dwindle. Having a power source that relies on lots of water might not be a good idea.
Fuel sources. Not about what's fueling it but where is coming from. Uranium is only found in certain deposits and if your country either doesn't have a source in house then they need to have political clout and money to obtain it. Everyone likes to point to France as a nuclear powered country but where did they get their uranium? Niger. The same Niger that just had an anti-french coup, cutting off their supply.
Maybe future tech like SMRs will make it more viable but for now the solar/geothermal/wind route will be a much quicker and easier replacement for fossil fuels.
Selling anything online via Craigslist or FB marketplace, or any similar thing is just an awful experience all around.
I sold a car a couple years ago on FB marketplace and it was the same deal. Everyone thinks that somehow, low balling will work. As if I'm going to sell a $3000 car for $100. Like, bruh.
I ended up just replying "lol" to any low ballers and blocking them.
A fun alternative though is to agree to their low ball price, give them address to the local clown school, and then ghost em when they ask where you are. If they are gonna slide into your DMs to tell jokes, they should at least learn how to do it properly.
Honestly why don't we have a nether portal transit system already. Server is how old at this point? Smh my head.
