@RevShark @BrianSozzi AI "potential" has already caused layoffs through the game industry and tech. And even further uncertainty.

I have started to use AI much more in the last couple of months and I am shocked by what I can do with Claude Cowork and some of the other tools. It eliminates my need to hire administrative help. However, it does increase my need to get some higher-level help for other things, like sales or marketing. Like a major technological development, it will hurt folks who can't learn new skills, but I don't think it will cause a major drop in employment.

Three years ago, I was more upbeat about artificial intelligence from a job-creation perspective.
As of today, I officially declare any remaining optimism on that front dead.
The more leaders I talk to about how they are deploying AI, the more I'm left with a sense of dread for America's workforce. Sure, the best and the brightest will use new AI tools and drive massive productivity gains. But what happens to everyone else who's just a solid worker? Or an older worker who can't suddenly pick up AI workflows?
I can tell you what happens: They get to spend a year searching for a job or opting for a career switch to drive for Uber. Though even that job appears at risk, given how Uber is keen on rolling out Rivian robotaxis to compete against Tesla robotaxis.
What am I missing here?

@BrianSozzi Don't count on us old folks joining the "gig economy." In Vegas Amazon's Zoox self-driving cars are all the thing.

@Etanetan23 Thank you for calling it what it is, a pogrom.
English
This pogrom follows right-wing ministers claiming a settler killed in a car accident was actually a ramming attack, despite police saying it was likely an accident.
Classic blood libel against Palestinians.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are now attacking the village of Qaryout in the West Bank, setting Palestinian homes and cars on fire and attempting to burn families alive. They killed 2 Palestinians in the same village two weeks ago.

This is absolving agency from antisemites. Many Muslim countries expelled all their Jews in 1948. Would that explain anti-Muslim sentiment? Also, virtually every other non-Muslim minority is hated in the Middle East. Are they also at fault for prejudice expressed against them?

Contemporary antisemitism in the US is mostly due to the actions of the state of Israel. Hatred of Jews wouldn’t be the problem it is had we not let Israel slap the Star of David on the flag of a nation that ethnically cleansed 750K ppl at the moment of its birth

@Etanetan23 The Story of Civilization by Will and Ariel Durant was part of my high school education. No regrets.
I wonder if I should reread the set?

The Bronx in the Seventies was a weird and wild place, stories like this were daily fare, eliciting a shrug at most.

@MazMHussain It is inevitable. I also believe, as reported by the NY Times, that MBS may have influenced the decision to go to war in the first place.

The confrontation with the Gulf Arab states is coming. Will we see Emirati, Saudi and Israeli fighter pilots flying in formation together? It may irritate public opinion but that does not render it impossible.

Senior Gulf officials have told me there is absolutely no way they would accept an outcome where Iran controls passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a global choke point governed by international maritime law that guarantees transit for all. #oott

@NightdiveStudio You definitely know to trigger senses - and I love all the work you do!
Thank you

“Whenever we do a remaster, we always find out that there’s an audience of people who have an immediate personal reaction... There’s something that goes beyond the game itself. That’s one of the joys of working at Nightdive and doing what we do.”

@NilesSankey But why spend energy hating something you don’t want to play, in order to generate clicks for someone who also wont play it, when you could be playing something you DO want to play?
But also, FUCK HALLMARK MOVIES THEY MAKE ME SO MAD.

As a former Bungie dev and current indie dev.. let me explain how it actually is:
You have every right to hate any game, and complain about any company, for any reason.
If you want to hate Halo, cool. If you wanna hate my new indie game.. go right ahead. I can take it 🫡

Spoke at ADL's conference today about combating antisemitism on the left. I was nervous coming in because I am ~spicy~ and violating decorum by discussing problems bluntly is frowned upon.
A packed room and a receptive audience is what I found. There are many frustrated Jews.
