Nope, "computer programs that are capable of high enough reasoning to automate you out of a job" don't exist either.

Take a Roomba, all it does is "clockwise spiral, hit a thing? Turn 45 degrees and try again".

"Computer programs that reason" don't exist and anyone trying to sell you on that is a liar.

Hell, wish I could code. But a little .ahk and Visual Basic for Applications has done a lot for my status at work.

And on that note, I'm hoping I can get out of here, go do some work. Toodles

"AI" as the layman understands it doesn't exist

The sales department figured out it'd be hard a long time ago and redefined what "AI" is to be incredibly simplistic. They couldn't bring Mohammed to the mountain so they brought the mountain to Mohammed.

Eh, cool spin. Maybe our understanding of intelligence has evolved and subsequently ..

they also make coding out to be cool to kids when in reality 99.9% of coding jobs are horrible bureaucratic bullshit

See my above post. Everybody wants to do cool programming. Nobody wants to do the stuff that resembles work.

What is this based on?

Currently the requirements for an entry level nursing position are much higher than they were a decade ago and not for reasons of skill necessity. What would you consider that?

Economics is mostly horseshit and the more fringe it is the better

Econ isn't horseshit, it's just that a significant and high-profile slice of the field sold out its integrity and began political shilling. No one in econ who still has a brain takes the chicago school, or most of what's being done in the us, as serious work

piketty still proves its value though and anyone actually interested in political economy should read his poo poo cause he'll probably be remembered as the new marx in a hundred or so years

Trump is illiterate and senile and nobody in his house can draft policy that will withstand a lawsuit so "you can't just tweet huge changes to military service qualifications" is as good as asking him to pay an invoice by the due date. He can't find Pence since he's at an undisclosed pasture and Mattis is looking very hard for his lost shaker of salt, Bannon won't agree to help because it doesn't exempt white trans troops, Reince is so drunk he can strip paint off walls with his breath, Mooch offered but only sent [made up italian curses] as a draft, Kellyanne is currently replenishing her embalming fluids, the Millers are all at various dive bars trying new and exciting neg stacking approaches, Hucklebundy, yikes, and Mnuchin is just like "why would you do this beep boop look at the numbers"

Basically everyone is out and Trump had to do it alone so he went the only way he knew how

rick perry is a cool dude and the nuclear arsenal is totally gonna be ok

The question on the minds of the people who currently work at the department: Does he know what it does now? D.O.E. press secretary Shaylyn Hynes assures us that “Secretary Perry is dedicated to the missions of the Department of Energy.” And in his hearings, Perry made a show of having educated himself. He said how useful it was to be briefed by former secretary Ernest Moniz. But when I asked someone familiar with those briefings how many hours Perry had spent with Moniz, he laughed and said, “That’s the wrong unit of account.” With the nuclear physicist who understood the D.O.E. perhaps better than anyone else on earth, according to one person familiar with the meeting, Perry had spent minutes, not hours. “He has no personal interest in understanding what we do and effecting change,” a D.O.E. staffer told me in June. “He’s never been briefed on a program—not a single one, which to me is shocking.”

The fundamentals of econ are about as horseshit as the fundamentals of physics. i.e. They're both technically true and the math works out, but lol if those situations could ever exist or match the results IRL. Econ is a social science with regards to actually statistically analyzing markets and stuff and is about as valid as Biology in that regard.

biology is a lot more solid than modern econ dude

modern econ is like alchemy. it's a proto-science that can get a few things right some of the time, but is stuck in a false paradigm that invalidates a lot of its work, even the work that is technically sound, because so many false assumptions are built into the basic theories

marx is closer to being a chemist than an alchemist tho
