As a parent in the US northeast who likes taking their kids camping and hiking, ticks have been an ongoing conversation this year. I think this is going to sell well.

If the model is commoditized then the AI race becomes competition over building infrastructure to support it. China is very good at building infrastructure.

Nah, James Damore just did a stupid thing at work and wasn't talented enough for it to be overlooked. He deserved to be fired. Morals don't need to come into it.

They lost their moral compass a while ago, but it had nothing to do with Damore.

No he was kind of unhinged. That wasn't the first weird thing he did. Should've been fired.

Note that coding is not the only use of Gemini or any of these models. It's also not what this article is talking about. Gemini can be not the best coding agent, but very good at other things.

> I'd pay a business $100 for a proper report on the rentals available in a city that meet a criteria and are amalgamated from all the the various platforms.

If this can be fully automated then you can just ask your own agent to do this and wouldn't need a business for it. And agents can already fill out web forms just fine.

Is this an argument to keep DEI in place?

This is a simplistic view. E.g. how does this argument account for the data we have that someone with black sounding name will get less opportunity than someone with a white sounding name and an identical resume? In this case the lower chances to get ahead have nothing to do with economic circumstance.

I think this is a perfect example of gp's comment.

Presumably their experience.

What you're describing is an American domestic policy issue.

There's no dispute that America has become incredibly more rich and powerful over the past 40 years. The fact that that money is increasingly funneled to fewer and fewer people (as a percent of the population) is something that can be changed locally, without changing our foreign policy stance.

It's not a surprise that the "devastation" of the middle class coincides with the continued reduction of tax rates on the entities collecting all that money. The America that MAGA seems to think was great was one of higher taxes and more social programs.

On the contrary this is exactly what they said they'd do if elected. This is exactly what was voted for. Don't pretend like Americans didn't have agency in the destruction of their own country.

I think it's primarily the "how" that people are resisting. I'm not sure why that's being dismissed.

> The company has to reciprocate

OP was promoted. Question is now whether OP makes the company regret their decision or not.

Thought we were supposed to hire on merit. These folks are lowering the bar.
