Thanks for sharing this here, for those of us who avoid X.com like the plague.

What’s your sample size? Unless it’s 30+ politically-neutral manufacturing founders, you’re citing anecdotal evidence.

It must not involve electrical components either, or any of the other inputs the US cannot produce at the scale or price-point of other countries.

Same here in Uruguay but only for certain interactions (like contractors). Thankfully there’s a transcription feature that catches 90% of the message generally.

I think they were just excited to share that a newer game exists, given OC was posting how they liked it.

I disagree. It’s possible that AI removed more people from the chain and that more human involvement could have prevented it from happening.

What’s the sample size here? Sounds like anecdotal evidence to me.

Yes, the side effect has been me using Reddit via Incognito, which means I don’t see it every time I open iOS Chrome, and also I’m not signed in, so after 14 years I’ve basically stopped using it.

I guess with their IPO “the line must go up”. Very stupid, dark pattern.

I agree (from semi-relevant experience). Also, any “poor” country that’s inexpensive enough to fit this requirements probably isn’t one you’d voluntarily live in.

Side note for the original commenter: It would be kinder and more accurate to state “lower cost of living countries” than “poor countries”. There are numerous lower COL countries that offer a higher quality of life a than that of the US but they aren’t “poor” (I moved to one).

You’ve cherry-picked two successful examples but ignored all his failures. He wasn’t even solely responsible for those two successes. He didn’t found Tesla. He didn’t even found PayPal. He’s not an aerospace engineer. The number one predictor of future wealth and success is starting with wealth to begin with.

Yes, again, as part of a well-regulated militia…

High-hold hairspray will work wonders for you. I’ve been using it to print, including on glass, since 2014.
