A weird comment to make to someone who already has children, but I guess at least we can all be happy that my kids are being raised by parents that can read?

I'm sorry but your summary of what I posted is so selective that I have to assume you're replying in bad faith.

> If you claim to be changing your life in any way in response to this then you're just putting a fig leaf on decisions that you've already made.

How insulting. Bad faith arguments have become way too prevalent on this site.

what an insanely insulting reply. this site sucks now.

Yes, this article is about the US.

And I live in a place single digit blocks from multiple places where ICE agent behavior has made national headlines. I have no financial reservations.

The fall of this site after 2016 has been sad to watch. Basically turned into low-volume reddit.

Living in a city that this administration has constantly been attacking forced me and my wife, as well as many of our neighbors, to put off our family growth plans. Not only did many of my neighbors lose their jobs, but others are simply fearful of living their lives.

We're fine financially, have housing, etc, but at this point why would we go through the stress of raising a child when a masked federal agent might jump out and disappear our friends, family, or nanny who could be watching them?

And that is before we even get into the potentially disastrous child healthcare decisions and regulation rollbacks.

It's an unfortunate time to be trying to grow a healthy family, IMO.

ETA: I already have children.

I suspect anyone using wikipedia do justify their inability to find a partner is generally undesirable.

Kind of on brand for this site these days, tbh. A brand of anti social that believes disruption done for anything but monetary gain deserves extreme punishment, regardless of circumstance.

I think you're right, unfortunately. Looking at the causes and the current actions of the US government (and, other governments worldwide tbh), this looks like an almost deliberate attempt to create a new class divide and supply of low-education workers. A depression would cement this. If you aren't already rich by the time it really kicks off, you probably won't make it out.

What does this even mean? You literally say that you were working harder than your coworkers. Was your job under threat or something? This just sounds like an unhealthy case of imposter syndrome.

> But let's not gate-keep or be naive enough to understand that some kids will need to put that effort if they want to make a difference.

Sure, they'll make a difference for the founders/CEOs of these companies, who will walk away completely minted while their employees might pull enough out to get a house. IF the venture doesn't die before exit.

I certainly consider myself a skeptic in the current AI craze, but this entire piece (of which I find the technical criticisms interesting) just reads like attack on Altman/OpenAI.

Even if you want to make fun of the (alleged) snake oil salesmen of AGI, how are you not going after, like, Zuckerberg/Meta? At least Altman is using other peoples money.
