5% of those layoffs will actually be AI related. The other 95% will be profits related.


Last one should read “You need a minimum 5 years experience and AI will screen out your resume without a perfect match” and “why is it so hard for us to find qualified candidates?”


Truly baffling to read just how disconnected some people are.


Anecdotally, I’d say money and the world would be the two big things.
People don’t have enough money to raise kids. Americans can’t afford to give birth with hospital bills. Childcare is expensive, but the alternative is no income. People can’t accumulate generational wealth, so there’s nothing to pass on, therefore no need for anyone to pass it to.
Environmental anxiety is real. Why bring kids into a world that’s about to burn?
Maybe one last factor is rebellion. A small sample I feel like chooses not to have kids so as not to perpetuate the system. The billionaires can’t exploit my kids if I don’t have any.


The rich are universally rich entirely by continually choosing to ignore the plight of the poor and slinging bootstrap condemnations. No identity sustained by evil choosing can be equated with racism.

Capitalism, corporate greed, and oil cartels.
The word that has been sticking with me about AI is “disrespect.” Disrespect to the training material stolen. Disrespect to the people who wrote it. Disrespect to the communities shouldering the data center load. Disrespect to the people these companies are tracking through their services. Disrespect to authors of websites scraped for data. Disrespect to human intelligence and creativity. Etc.
