The Economy Thread III: Not Actual Advice And You Shouldn't Lie To Investors

[archibaldcrane]

one guy i spoke to (from one of my potential schools) said more and more film/tv people are in his classes.

Yeah, it's a bloodbath and I know multiple people who have made this same career pivot from tv/film.

one guy i spoke to (from one of my potential schools) said more and more film/tv people are in his classes. we also talked about how there's this "therapy culture" that's sorta growing (for better or for worse). also i'd lastly add that for those willing to pay for private school, i truly do not think it's that hard to get in. so i feel like there are a lot of combined factors that'll further route people toward the field.

consequently, i think AI will accelerate that because i think the anti-AI sentiment is only gonna grow, and talking to real humans is gonna be +++value. my prediction with AI was that it was always going to eviscerate certain types of jobs. and we'll be seeing more people going into the low-skill, non-humanistic bucket (cops, military, obviously bad). but also, the bucket of soft-skill, real human stuff that AI can't touch - as of yet, anyway.

I kinda disagree, I think your gen alpha (maybe gen Z) are gonna grow up with AI being totally normalized and not have a problem talking to an AI therapist chat bot. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure once the millennials age out, AI will become commonplace.

All three of my adult children (21, 25, 30) despise AI.

Do they actually or is it just cool to do so they say they hate it

Hate that its taking your job, but aside from that giant problem, and the whole ram shortage and the water crisis its causing and the great depression it's about to cause when the stock bubble pops. In and of itself what's to hate.

Just a tool like any other tool.

[mallister]

Right, sure.

Piece of chicken

The one other thing is water.

[Tyrath]

I think water is about the only thing you get for $3

[Salodin]

40pack of water from Costco for $5. Could end world thirst with this company alone for $1000

There's a group of teenagers around here that buy Costco water packs and then sit at popular intersections and sell them for $1 cash each in the summer.

Given it's $3.49 here for 40 bottles, that's quite the profit! Sure pisses off the boomers though. "Get a real job!!!"

While said Boomers will praise companies for doing the exact same shit lol. "Supply and demand you old fuck, I thought you loved Capitalism!"

If eating healthy was cheap we'd have a lot less fat people.

Eat healthy is no more or less expensive in most places, but requires extra effort beyond just hitting a drive thru or ordering on grub hub

Exactly. Eating healthy can easily be cheap if we just ignore the whole time aspect of preparing the food.

Rice beans and chicken and a veg like broccoli is cheap, especially if you buy a whole bird and break it down yourself, but that takes time that a lot of us just don't have and in the case of breaking down a whole chicken takes at least a little more know-how than just basic cooking skills.

Amen Daydreamer. Seriously, there's a reason The Troll started getting ugly about things. Food is jsut getting expensive and if they don't look out we're going to have a Hoover situation all over again.

Yup and when you're working 2-3 shitass jobs and only have 8hrs left to sleep, cook, and check in your kids you're grabbing something from a drive thru but even that shit is stupid expensive now.

[Mrbeansman]

It doesn't help that healthy food also takes more effort to make it not taste like shit.

If you like heat, adding hot sauce to healthy food is one of the quickest ways to make it taste amazing.
