Is there anything indicating this would be what would happen?

You're talking about replacing certain humans with robots. They're talking about replacing humans with robots - final.

It's almost always user data these days, so probably that.

Funny cause I'm quite literally having this exact issue with 4.8 as we speak. I've been going back and forth with Claude since yesterday afternoon on chopping up, stabilizing and facilitating recovery on a flaky mega-pipeline. Not 5 minutes ago, I had to remind it that two of the solutions it proposed were not possible because the target technology doesn't allow what it wanted to do, despite pointing it to the very docs that says it can't be done in the first place.

As far as its tone... Both feel like sycophantic as hell to me. To be honest, they just all feel so.

This idea that the only way a citizen can disagree what their government is doing is by voting on election day needs to die.

It's the same old "vote with your dollar/feet" solecism, applied to politics.

> Personally I'm in the camp that the world has bad guys, and they are building technology too. Smartest to make sure yours is better.

I get the idea, but it is also the same argument that has fueled the nuclear arms race that stuck all of us in this permanent launch-on-warning, mutually assured destruction situation.

"Corporations are controlled by humans, therefore critics are motivated by anti-rich sentiment" is definitely a take

Where did the "therefore" come from? From OP's comment it didn't, that's for sure.

Hah, I know the feeling. I installed Ubuntu on a PC recently, it obviously happened to be one of the days they got DDOSed and apt repos were unreachable. I had other things to take care of, so I put it aside for the next week or so. It didn't help very much, cause after picking it back up, halfway through, Snapcraft went down.

I've been priced out of these areas. I'd gladly move back in town if I could afford anything closer, but I can't. I make quite higher income than the median, so I'd be extremely surprised if this was NOT the rationale for many others.

> 1. Don’t Mistake Your Vocation If one's knack/vocation just objectively doesn't pay a livable wage, what's the alternative?

2. Avoid Debt Like the Plague In a world where home prices are worth decades of pre-tax salary, where less than a third of home purchases are cash, and where most of those are older people with accumulated wealth or previous paid-for property, this more or less equates to saying to young people "do not ever think about owning the place you live in".

3. Whatever You Do, Do It With All Your Might While I agree that success generally is a result of work+opportunity, I have seen it come from the opposite enough times that I have a hard time believing it really is remotely close to be one of the main factors of financial success.

4. Preserve Your Integrity For some reason, I heavily doubt the majority of the true wealth ~hoarders~ holders of this world got there from integrity.
