They'll be talking about clanker taxes in the 2028 election, btw. Democrats in particular, but you'll even see some Republicans float the idea. By that point, the US white collar labor market will be so devastated that they won't have a choice.

Another day I had to pour one out for my homies. Sorry lady who didn’t want to answer the door for her Coronitas.

As someone with 15+ years in IT who has been involved in hiring decisions over the years...however dumb you think the hiring process at your average company is, it's dumber. It's largely vibes and incompetence, mostly incompetence.

My guess is that AI-assisted exploits are eventually going to find something so catastrophic that it forces a major crypto fork that will make the BTC blocksize debates look civil by comparison.

Seems to be already happening, just not to coins anyone cares about, lol. We'll see how long that lasts.

I’m imploring y’all to take a chill pill in parking lots. Some dude at the Costco Business Center I’m shopping at hit a Suburban going fast enough that it popped their airbags.

If cash is king in a recession, a paid-off, well-maintained car is probably queen. As crazy as it sounds, you might beat out a candidate for a job in the years ahead simply because you have a way to reliably get to work and they don't.
BREAKING: America’s $1.7 trillion auto loan market is headed for a crash, per Reuters. Auto loans are now one of the biggest sources of household debt, bigger than credit cards. And the strain is showing: 1 in 5 Americans is behind on at least one loan, the highest since 2010, and the average car on the road is now nearly 13 years old, a record.

Not gonna lie, this is one of the wildest things I've seen an online sportsbook offer in some time. Basically a HYSA that pays you in casino bonus. I wonder how long you could park a mountain of cash and refuse to spend your own money until they'd promo ban you (or ban you entirely).

I have never seen a car upgrade so obviously designed to be sold to Saudi princes and literally no one else.

40+ and jobless in IT/SWE is a tough sitch if you aren't absolutely cracked. Mid-level roles you're made for have been destroyed over decades of cost cutting. Too old for entry-level roles where they want young bucks to overwork. Too unskilled for high-end specialized roles.
This hacker news thread is absolutely heart-breaking. Whoever thinks “humans will find a way” ought I read it.

As a 44 year old IT guy with great soft skills but not much else I am living this to the letter. My last job was nothing like what I was previously doing over my 15+ years of experience and I expect that trend to continue in my career. It's adapt or perish, simple as.

Also for the "this attitude toward people in despair is horrible" folks: It is, but these guys need solutions not empty kindness. If a man is drowning at sea you do not lean over the railing and tell him everything will be okay, you find a way to get him back to solid land.

Kind of crazy how many parent/child relationships are strained over the expectation of equivocal suffering, eg "my life growing up was shit so yours needs to be at least as shitty" There are parents out there who have full-on disowned their kids for daring to do better.

Sounds great, how much do I gotta put down to get my name on the “future people to rob” list?

My base case at this point is a less catastrophic version of both realities mixed together. - The AI bubble will pop, and a lot of rich folks who thought they were the smartest people in the room investing in picks and shovels will lose their ass in the fallout. The market will correct significantly and tech companies in particular will get torched. The AI infrastructure buildout will slow down massively as people realize we overshot the target on demand by several orders of magnitude. People will freak out but the world will not end. Markets will figure out what still has value in a world where AI is merely good tech and not the magic solution to everything, and go from there. - AI will drive massive efficiency gains in many roles, but turn out to not be some god-tier tech that replaces humans tip-to-tail. There will be significant pressure on the labor force in some fields and virtually no impact in others. Lots of political talk about "clanker taxes" "retraining programs" "worker assistance" etc. but very little action, as it goes with politicians. Like with every great technological change, we will do a very poor job of managing the transition and a lot of individuals will suffer, but collectively we will all muddle through.
Either the AI bubble will pop, which will create a Great Depression-level market crash. Or the AI valuations will be justified, which only works if AI replaces a huge number of workers and we get massive unemployment. Either way, we are headed towards a monumental crisis.

Saw a dude on YouTube get dealt AAAA-10 on Shockwave double double bonus, and he got so excited about entering Shockwave mode that he held everything...instead of redrawing the ten for his shot at the kicker.

Whenever I run out of YouTube slop, I like to re-listen to @exitscampod and it feels especially prescient in these “Nothing is ever going to happen to Coinbase” times we live in.
