How is attending a far-right convention and fucking up diplomacy with Spain state business?

If he went to a furry convention would that also be state business?

I didn't addressed anything because the whole comment is a load of bullshit.

Fuck off with your Putin propaganda.

Yeah but a car is mostly made of engines and bolts and wheels and stuff like that, you know.

Some beggars do indeed see it as a job and make substantial money, that is just a fact. Doesn't mean that there are not people in real desperate situations and needing any help they can get.

Gen Z are adolescents or young adults now. Gen Alpha are the little kids. We're getting old.

And for businesses, VR simply has not proven to have a cost benefit worth even the initial capital investment, without even taking into account ongoing IT costs due to damaged equipment.

That's just not true. Companies of all sizes are using VR for onboarding and training with much success and a huge return on investment. There are also a lot of location-based and VR arcades making a nice profit.

VR may never go mainstream, but for businesses there are a lot of use cases for which it is valuable.

More infrastructure for cars = even more cars on the road, as simple as that.

You want to fix a gridlocked city with awful traffic? You start taking lanes out and making them exclusive for public transport, and you build big sidewalks and a cycling lane. Now you can get where you want to go in 10 minutes using public transport or bike, or you can sat in traffic for an hour - magically, you'll see traffic getting better and less cars on the road.

It's not as if this is some mistery - it has been done in many cities around the world and it works. The alternative is the american way, "just add one more lane", and you guys live with the results.

In my country, besides right on red being illegal (having never been legal), traffic lights themselves are seen as a thing of the past and most of them were replaced with roundabouts decades ago.

You're being downvoted, but that's exactly what many europeans cities have been doing for many years now. When going into the city center by car is the worst option, people choose other ways to go.

Yeah, we would all much rather talk with a real person, but when I'm walking my dogs at 1am there is no one available.

I use ChatGPT voice as a kind of "podcast on demand". If there's something on my mind I run it through ChatGPT, if not I ask it to come up with something interesting for us to discuss - and it as yet to let me down.

It's not a matter of replacing people - it's more as if you had your own on-demand youtuber that could talk about anything you want and answer all your follow-up questions.

I think I understand why this is a double-edged sword. Most consulting companies basically invoice hours. Even a lot of software development is charged by the hour. So now empoyees use AI, come up with awesome work much faster, and all that looks like a big advantage - until you get to the end of the month and find out that you now have a lot less billable hours logged.

The bright side is that you can now deliver more projects - so you now have to do much more work to invoice the same as before, and all the competition is now also delivering awesome work. It's a race to the bottom, more stress and less money for everyone involved.
