Has never been true in my career.

I kinda feel like vegetarians are right but consuming animal derived products is fine.

So long as they're humanely harvested? Some argue that cows are mistreated when kept producing milk as much as they are, but I haven't looked into it because I'm selfish too.

Cows are mammals. They produce milk for their young for a period after giving birth then stop, just like a human woman. Which means that for us to take their milk we have to keep them constantly pregnant.

Ask a woman (or think about it if you are one) how they would like being forcefully impregnated then having their tits constantly milked, year after year. As a bonus, the born kids are separated into girls to be milked in the same cycle and boys to be killed and eaten.

Agree if the animals are treated well; but I have a very high bar for that. I would also accept eating animals which died of old age if it could be done safely. It's easier to just round this to "vegan."

I mean, you could probably make these comparispns in 2006 when the movie came out. Perhaps it wasnt prophetic but rather just a sature of the general human condition

Are you kidding? Plumber seem really in demand. Finding a conpetent plumber with reasonable pricing is difficult where im at

Not saying market can't expand at all. Prices can go down, waiting times can go down, but still people only need that many faucets installed.

If we seriously expect whits collar jobs not be a thing anymore, then I am not seeing trades having nearly enough capacity to absorb all the released workforce

Problem is that they dont, actually

How is that the point of AI. The point is that it can chug through things that would take humans hours in a matter of seconds. You still have to work with it. But it reduces huge tasks into very small ones

No, the point of AI is to fire your employees and replace them with "agents".

This implies that the managers managing your "agents" can be literal assclowns hired for pennies.

Well 6 years experience here and I personally saved about 4 hours of work today using claude. My coworker also just solved a problem I had been looking into for a few days in about an hour with claude. So, I think maybe you are just a bit behind the curve.

Please stay on topic and focus on the "slop" and "fall behind" part.

What's in your comment has been said maybe 1000 times just over the past day, so I'm afraid that information is not particularly helpful.

I mean I think I stayed exactly on topic. Used by experience devs, its not slop, and if you arent usuing the people who are areprobably going to outpace you

What do you mean by spin off?

How is that not a restatement of what OP said?

"The CIA are probably for the most part reasonable people"

What CIA are you talking about? Maybe we have diferent definitions of reasonable, but the CIA I know of are absolutely fucking wicked, morally bankrupt snakes.
