  • The uphill battle that I personally face is that I’m up there in age. I’m not old, but I’m not a young man who’s going to put more money into the retirement and health care system then I’ll potentially use

    So countries are less likely to accept older people unless they have their own money or a valued skill

    I do OK, by most Americans standards I’m well off, but I’m not rich. Not rich enough for a country to just be like, “yeah, whatever”. And my skills are common. I’m in software and so maybe in the 90s they would have jumped to have more developers, but these days they teach programming to kids and with AI being as trending as it is, I doubt they’re hunting for more developers

    And it’s not just me, it’s my family.

    And then there’s a quality of life thing. At my age with a family I can’t exactly start over at the bottom of a corporate ladder and try to climb my way back up. Even if I could get a job doing something like, “teaching English”, I’m sure it would be a massive pay cut. I make well over six figures, work from home, and set my own hours

    My job is fantastic. My country is kinda shit. Not as bad as some other places in the world, life isn’t awful here, but the days of being proud to be an American are long over and if I could keep my job and just move to the other side of the ocean like I can move between states, I’d do it in a second

    It’s not that easy

    Again, the value of AI is not in its ability to make pictures, it’s in it’s value to do business tasks

    Can it make pictures? Sure. Is that why AI worth billions? No

    Nobody gives a shit that it make pictures. We’re using it to take notes, manage pipelines, review and write code, analyze data, make up-to-date reports every 10 minutes, looks for trends in the stock market, looks for planets and shit in images of the stars, help us develop medicine, etc…





  • I get that, and while that’s super out of touch with pretty much everything, to me, that’s the least weird thing about this

    Lets go with his logic and pretend we do need roommates for chores.

    Out of all of the chores he thinks I need help with he thinks it’s making my bed? Not dishes, or cleaning, or shopping… making my bed? And not even my own bed, he thinks I have a roommate who comes into my room and makes my bed for me?

    He thinks we all have strangers living in our houses to make our beds for us?

    Yeah it’s stupid as hell that this man thinks we have roommates as maids instead of people to help pay bills, but it’s even more stupid that he thinks the #1 chore that we would need these people for is bed making. And now that there’s a robot that can make your bed for you, that’s it? That’s the end of roommates?

    I don’t need a robot to cook for me or clean for me or anything else? Bed making is the end game?

    WTF is wrong with this man. This is all so fucking weird




  • This is just weird

    I looked it up thinking there had to be more to this that just isn’t pictured here. We’re missing context or something

    I can find nothing.

    This guy literally thinks people have roommates to make their bed for them?

    Even thinking people have roommates to help with chores, instead of bills, why the fuck would he think the main chore we need help with is “making my bed”?

    Like I’m going to bring somebody else into my house so they can make my bed for me? My bed? That’s weird as fuck
