This is 100% the case.

They didn’t even realize covid was killing them while they died in droves, so my bet is on never.

You think it’s a kids job to learn how to become an adult themselves? What the fuck

I’m 40, with my own kids. I’ve been teaching them everything I think they should know how to do to be an adult when they move out. How to cook and clean, make a budget, fill out forms, how to show up on time, be part of a team, etc. The school is taking care of most of the academics, but I add some extra things that the school fails to cover as extensively as I’d like such as how to properly use Microsoft Excel.

What they do to grow once they’re out of the house isn’t my problem, I’m just setting the foundation and that absolutely is the job of parents and teachers.

Practice can also be on using AI.

I think a lot of this is going to boil down to companies figuring out how to determine if someone can successfully use AI to produce output faster, or lack the skillset to do so. If you manage to get through university using AI and the profs are happy with the results, why wouldn’t a company be happy with the results?

Nobody asks me if I can do the math behind the spreadsheets I build, but I couldn’t do most of it by hand at this point because it’s been so long since I practiced that.

You’re not wrong, but also you aren’t right. The basics that you need should be taught to you by your parents and at school before you move out. AI isn’t interfering with either of those at this point.

You couldn’t manage your life in the event of every possible problem either, the question then becomes which things should you know how to do yourself, and which things can be delegated.

I don’t know how to repair a car beyond changing a tire or the oil, but even that isn’t really necessary anymore since many cars don’t even come with a spare at this point and knowing how to change the oil is now irrelevant to me, since I’m using an EV.

Knowing how to ferment for preservation may come in handy for saving a couple of dollars, but it’s hardly a life saving skill anymore. Even in the event of a massive catastrophe, it’s unlikely that fermentation would come in handy before aid arrived or you were able to leave the area.

You fail to realize that in order to get AI to do anything, you have to understand what to ask it in the first place. AI is not likely to do things you can’t accomplish at all, you would have no way to validate the results and therefore it would end up causing problems (like we’re seeing with people submitting papers written by AI without reviewing them) or making some code that doesn’t even compile/run.

It’s just a tool for speeding up that work that you already know, like learning the basics of multiplication, then using a calculator for the rest of your life. You still need to understand what multiplication and division are in order to work a calculator properly.

AI all the things? Bad

AI for specific use cases? Good

I use AI probably a dozen times a week for work tasks, saving myself about 2-4 hours of work time on tasks that I know it can do easily in seconds. Simple e-mail draft? Done. Write a complex formula for excel? Easy. Generate a summary of some longer text? Yup.

It’s easy to argue that we may become dependant upon it, but that’s already true for lots of things. Would you have any idea on how to preserve food if you didn’t have a fridge? Would you have any idea on even how to get food if you didn’t have a grocery store nearby? How would you organize a party with your friends without a phone? If a computer wasn’t tracking your bank balance, how would you keep track of your money? Can you multiply 423 by 365 without using a calculator?

There are stabilizing benefits in some cases. Traditions can be valuable, even just for show.

Even something as simple as suggesting “Hey, these figures are made in Vietnam instead of China, so they’re lower cost right now” is political. It is, as you said unavoidable.

The problem is that they’re actively impacting your ability to participate in many hobbies, or eating up funds on necessities that force you to forgo other things entirely. It’s not that we’re just repeating “tariffs bad” when talking about them, it’s that they’re actually factoring into decisions being made in order to live our life.

Maybe if some orange turd wasn’t busy fucking up everything from board games to airplanes politics wouldn’t come up so much.

Hard to have a conversation without it when there’s a massive tariff on every single product related to work, hobbies, and even just living.

This has happened, the girl was found guilty of manslaughter.

Well this is pushing the boundaries of “No Stupid Questions”

Unless there’s some method for you to help them become eligible to work in your country, you legally need to put the company’s safety first. If you give different reason to hide things you could be exposing your company to liability, so the safest option for both the company and for the applicant is for you to straight up ghost them.

I really hope you mean to say “hiring” instead of “hitting”

The simple answer is just don’t hire them, and don’t give any reason.

I mean, Facebook already requires ID in many cases. https://www.facebook.com/help/159096464162185/

You’re required to prove your age in a bunch of real life scenarios too, like buying alcohol, tobacco, or a firearm.

It is a privacy issue, but the question is on the balance is the privacy concern worse than the harms being done by youth on social media?

Given that there are literally hundreds of university studies showing how bad this shit is for kids, and leaked internal documents from the social media companies themselves, I think it’s the better choice at the moment.

The same way Australia is doing it, a big fine for companies that don’t comply and add an age verification process to sites.

Will it work 100%? No

Will it work enough? Probably

He killed the market, let a few buddies know he was going to reverse it so they would buy stuff up cheap, then reversed it.

Literally hundreds of billions of dollars in value was just lost/made by various people in this pump and dump(dump and pump?) scheme.

That’s not what I was taught or experienced firsthand while I was there.

It makes perfect sense, he’s asking for positive examples.
