Dream on. It'll never happen.

We were already on track for that anyway. This just adds an interesting twist to it.

Where do you think most of the hardware is manufactured, and do you think the hardware manufacturers will keep getting paid if labs start going under?

These reason why they were proclaiming MCP dead and crowning CLI the influencer is that they aren't serious people. They're either vibe coders who never knew what the meaning of engineering for production or they are those who chose to forget the meaning because it fits their chosen vibe coder narrative.

Fair point about global vs US as your sibling notes.

> 2. Global GDP will be ~$165T by 2031

But GDP is a very different thing than payrolls.

What's total US annual payrolls? I don't think it's beyond the order of $20 trillion. So they're going to have to replace something on the order of magnitude of half of all jobs OR "create" the difference, in terms of jobs going to AI.

Or, maybe they just accurately realized that US consumers don't want EVs.

There's plenty of other laws that limit the choices of the poor for their own good. You can't just build a lean-to slum, you can't buy swill milk.

When it all goes bust, at least you'll have some real estate.

Which is exactly what another post was saying: that large corporations will step in instead.

Some longer amount of time, potentially. Point taken.

You're not wrong. But the only solutions appear to be varying levels of being a free-rider, which means the thing you like probably gets deleted anyway when it's deemed unprofitable. The long-term solution is probably to only consume locally-made goods and content, public-domain content, or vintage goods.

If it happens in 2026, they will likely be bailed out.

It's really weird to go to bat for the health insurance industry.

I'm not aware of any mass desertions by Western armies.

It's not clear that non-mercenary Arab armies are much better in this respect.

Do you draw any other conclusion than that your management wants to replace you with the contractors?

With all due respect, what's scary about a fanfiction wiki?

Yeah, it's not really clear from the article. Wild that you can get on some list of abusers without a jury trial. Maybe she waived her rights? Can that even happen?

You get what you pay for, I guess.

Sounds pretty cool; do they have a better record of legal wins?

It depends if the JSON file is in source control, or if it's an environment file.

Humanoid on wheels might be the winning form factor.

Hasn't it been that way for at least a few hundred years? I'm surprised the article didn't mention the OG stimulant, tobacco.
