If both guys are smart, the hard working guy will find a better way to do the tasks and use the extra time to do other work.
The hard working guy will likely spend more time validating that the automation works correctly while the lazy guy won't. Checking every detail, tracking down the source of any issues and fixing them so they won't occur again is a lot of work. The lazy guy doesn't do that.
What the lazy guy does could be done by an LLM, what the hard working guy does can't be.
You've gone really deep into the politics of hate if you want the people you claim to support to continue suffering so they'll useful tools to be used against the people you hate.
It is good to help Palestinians, and I hope they can rebuild. But apparently the "pro-Palestinian" crowd doesn't want that.
A cult is just one example of this pattern. Humans in groups will have a tendency to follow the same pattern whether it's a political movement, religion, social media, criminal gangs, workplace department, or even a fandom. The person seen as the leader is not questioned, anyone that asks questions is ostracized, proving loyalty is rewarded. People will knowingly tell lies since that proves loyalty to the tribe. People will pretend to believe the lies since that's also rewarded. With social media it gets really stupid since the reward is usually just a number beside a "like" icon.
When you go along with a lie long enough, you may start to believe it's true.
Humans lived in tribes for millions of years. Tribalism is hard-coded into our brains.
An attack on the tribe is considered an attack on every individual within the tribe. Saying "Trump is racist" is an attack on everyone in the MAGA tribe and makes you an enemy of the tribe. Not someone to be trusted. Someone to fight back against.
Things that are obvious to anyone outside of the tribe won't even be considered by anyone within the tribe. If there's any doubt, the other members of the tribe will tell them "no, we aren't racist, they are the racists!" The obvious thing becomes a lie and rejected.
Even when something impacts your life, you may think "well that was just a mistake" so you can continue feeling happy to be in the "good tribe".
No one is good at questioning these things because we don't want to think of ourselves as not all that much more evolved than apes. So we develop ideologies to paint over how we really think.
Are you able to question your tribe? What are the things that are obvious to anyone not in your tribe that you can't consider?
Whose faces do the leopards you hang out with want to eat?
That's not how the law works. It's not a thing where this company sued another company for patents and won, therefore all future lawsuits on patents automatically win. There may be some precedent about specific details in the case, but there's no reason to assume a future judge in a future case wouldn't rule in the same way even if this case never existed. Seems to me precedence paranoia is just some internet lawyer thing.
The strangest thing about this case is that Nintendo didn't sue for trademark infringement or copyright. I assume Pikachu is trademarked and this company had a Pikachu with a machine gun on the cover of their game. Looks like an easy win for trademark infringement, given everyone referred to it as Pokeman with guns.
I like how you think of wealth solely in terms of money. That's just a number in a database.
There's a lot of houses owned by boomers and the housing market is insanely expensive. When all of those houses go on the market, people might be able to afford to buy a house again. Owning a house is wealth.
Anthropic is probably just late on paying Trump the "protection money."
Something a lot of people seemingly haven't come to terms with is the fact that the US is a mafia state. Fraud has been decriminalized for any company that pays the vig. You have to do a lot more due diligence on any US company because they can just straight up lie to get investment. There's no longer any consequences for lying to sucker people into investing in their companies. There wasn't all that much before, but now there's none.
Anthropic will pay some bribes and do as Trump wants then they will be allowed to do business with other countries again. But it's obviously a bad idea to do business with them even after that happens.
Could you imagine finding out in 2010 from a memo that looked like this:
Sorry, we need to let go half of workforce because we've decided we're not going to continue to do business with a country. There's no reason to do so at this moment, but we just get the vibe that this country will make a real estate grifter their leader because they saw him on a reality show and mostly out of spite for half of the population of their own country.
Hindsight is 20/20. Yeah it's super obvious now doing business with the US is a bad idea, but most of the things that are happening now would've been too unrealistic to put into a fictional story. Even a comedy couldn't credibly go this far. The Colbert Report wouldn't even suggest anything on the level of insanity we see out of the US every day. It wouldn't get any laughs it would've just confused the audience.
The US is beyond a joke now, nobody could've saw this coming.
The two biggest famines in human history weren't caused by droughts or natural disasters. They were caused by socialism.
Socialism was a failure. The economic policies of 1930s capitalism was also a failure.
Fortunately those aren't the only two options. We don't have to follow the failed systems of the past. There were successful economic policies used after WWII up until Ronald Reagan which were very successful.
Trust-busting, taxing the wealthy, and Keynesian economic policies were what led to the peak of human prosperity.
Socialism from the perspective of the working class was starvation followed by building lots of shitty tanks, followed by economic collapse. You should read history from that perspective a little more instead just reading the writings by the elites in those societies.
I live in a country where we have laws that are determined by the people we vote for. If they pass laws we don't like we vote in someone else. Works quite well, you should try it in your country.
