I was talking to a coworker they other day and they said something along the lines of, "Anymore it feels like the entire corporate world is in a race to the bottom."
"It gives me the complexion of a Disney princess and lets me send weird pictures of my forhead or the ceiling to my friends." --Teenagers gleefully giving Snapchat all their personal data
My grandparents were not wealthy people. They were products of the Great Depression. They kept nearly everything they ever and bought and every major purchase was carefully calculated.
I only ever saw my grandad wear one watch. A Timex from probably the late 1980's.
I would guess it cost < $20 new at Walmart back then.
It still works. I usually only wear it for special occasions. I've spent way more than it's value having jewelers maintain it over the last 25 years.
I still miss the old man. You can't put a price tag on those memories.
I'm amazed at how many parents, including ones of my generation [millenials], are afraid of ADHD medication. Especially considering the volume of research on ADHD and the effectiveness of stimulants that has come out since the 90's.
"But it will change little Timmy's personality."
Yeah, that's hyperactivity. Not his personality. People don't normally act like the Looney Toons Tazmanian Devil on crack.
"But he might become dependent on it."
And i'm sure people with missing limbs spend a lot of time worrying about becoming dependent on prosthetics.
You know what you should really be concerned about him becoming dependent on? Drugs and alcohol. Because self-medicating is real and the statistics are not in Timmy's favor.
The article was interesting but your title is a little misleading, OP. They were not singling out Reddit. Merely using it as an example in their study on why social media threads tend to skew towards negativity over time. It was about human psychology more than any specific social media platform.
Arthur E. Anderson was a giant in the world of accountants. Hard working, innovative, and a notorious stickler for honesty. By the time of his death in 1947, the firm bearing his name was among the largest and most trusted accounting and auditing firms in the entire world.
Ironically, the firm collapsed just over 50 years later in the wake of the 2001 Enron accounting scandal. Arthur Anderson was Enron's auditor and while they ultimately prevailed in the ensuing legal battles over the firms complicity in the scandal, their reputation was so badly damaged that they were unable to continue as a going concern, reducing the "Big 5" accounting firms to four.
LLM's plateaued quite some time ago. Everything since has been an attempt to keep the hype going.
Every time a high rise is demolished, someone has to fly a plane into it. It's pretty much what the Boeing 737 Max was designed for.
I do not like them, Sam I Am. I do not like green eggs and ham!
I was talking to a coworker they other day and they said something along the lines of, "Anymore it feels like the entire corporate world is in a race to the bottom."
Couldn't disagree with that.
"Kowalski, Get us a ride!"
"Skipper, I don't have any thumbs."
"Then you'll just have to use that cute little face of yours instead."

Fair.

They have a concept of a plan.
This is one of the best descriptions of the "AI Economy" that I've heard so far.
"Seeking a construction foreman to join our hammer powered construction crew."
"Seeking a surgeon or join our scalpal powered surgical team."
"Seeking CPA to join our Excel powered accounting firm."
This is how these kind of job postings look to actual candidates.

More like an [adjacent to the] shit post.
Or the "pc handyman".
Me: "Why does your motherboard have a ...uh... sheen and smell like WD40?"
PC Handyman: "Well it was running slow so I greased it."
I wish that were not a true story.
