Yep. Meanwhile I’m trying to figure out how can I make something that people would want to pay for, and how can I charge them, if they’re going to interact directly with Claude and burn their own quota.

And a lot of them cannot get up to speed, even when they want to. Many big corporations struggle with evolution and innovation due to crippling bureaucracy, created and supported by risk averse leadership. This is usually worse for publicly traded companies.

Unless it is something like Meta, then they have a Zuck, someone smart, with enough oversight and power, who can drain the swamp and make the whole machine move.

Not only "our context window" is larger but we can add and remove from it on-the-fly, or rely on somebody else who, for that very specific problem, has a far better informed "context window", that BTW they're adding to/removing from on-the-fly as well.

Twitter as a non critical application can afford to malfunction for a couple of minutes or maybe hours even.

I think they're not understaffed, for now. They're delivering new features and fixing most bugs. A understaffed engineering team usually struggles with that.

We all are going to get automated out of the workforce together :)

Not "any" but "most". I've worked for a company whose RoR codebase/structure looked completely different from the usual because they used a Domain Driven Design-inspired architecture.

I also had good results with recruiters. They will actually get you at the door, so you better be prepared. Seems to be a decent strategy for people who are bad at networking like I am.

There's a demand, why not supply it, and make money while you are at it?

This reminds me of the RMT driven botting problem in WoW (World of Warcraft). Instead of fighting the neverending game of cat and mouse against botters, Blizzard just decided to supply the long reprimanded demand for in-game currency by creating the WoW token, and they make money while they're at.

Yeah but people will still have to generate excess produce somehow in order to have something to trade for those (now cheaper) goods, and with automation taking both skilled and unskilled jobs out of the market, I keep wondering what kind of jobs will be left available for the average Joe.

Isn't Iceland inhabited by like 340k people? Maybe they're testing the waters or trying to limit how many people end up moving there.

Overall I agree. DNs would use Portugal's D7 to move in (in an exception of what the visa was originally intended to), but then Portugal introduced a DN visa which now requires a much higher income than what D7 requires, I think 4x times more than D7.

Obviously not the OP but are you trying to imply that mgmnt do sale's work? They don't. The sales people are important, a company can hardly function without them. Meanwhile you can fire all of the management and the company will still work just fine, if not better.

The best way to retain information is by burning it into your brain with spaced repetition and Anki to help.

And unlike those things, Bitcoin cannot be confiscated by the government, specially third world tyrannical governments that seem to always be trying their hardest to impoverish and screw those under their administration.

> it's a pyramid scheme

That's your opinion.

> easily replaced by any other shitcoin

It's not.
