re: I have a feeling we gonna be very good this year.

LOL. Dude is trying to lose. Idiot.
About 20 years ago I rented a house in a neighborhood that had an annoying HOA. The day I moved in, this wormy little 60-yr-old dork knocked on my door, introduced himself with much gravitas, and lectured / pre-threatened me about carefully sorting my recycling and trash. Dude said he would be spot checking me, and that it was totally legal in that state. Cited chapter and verse. Also said they would fine me some amount per day if I didn't bring my trash can back from the street on trash day, or if I put it out the day before.
I said I would not need his assistance managing my trash and shut the door in his face. Dude called my landlord, who then called me and said the guy was a choad and to just ignore him.
Nothing ever happened, but that cured me of HOAs for life. F all that. Seems like those boards attract power-hungry little bitches who just want to dominate their neighbors, feel important, compensate for whatever.
No thanks.

Who's gonna tell the dipshit vegans that all those organic veggies they eat were fertilized with manure from ... beef and chicken operations!
Farming is really about improving and maintaining healthy soil. It is cost prohibitive and damned near impossible to do that without animal inputs.
Most hippy vegan farmers, and I will admit to knowing a few of them, rely heavily on composted manures, bone meal, blood meal, and other animal inputs to grow their veggies.
You read that right: The damned veggies from vegan farms are not even vegan! :lol:

re: Which jobs are at risk due to AI?

software developers is laughable. Anyone that thinks current AI is going to replace programmers in the next 20 years is nuts.
I think that is the most intriguing job category. There have been massive tech layoffs attributed to AI in the past two years, but that looks more like short-term profit grabbing and disruption to me.
I saw Sam Altman interviewed several months back, and his theory is that if devs can suddenly generate 30x more code using AI, the amount of new use cases and innovation will generate demand for 30x more code to build whatever the next generation of stuff is and train AIs to do it.
Hard to say. The only part that's certain, IMO, is that how devs work will change. But it's more like learning to field a new tool than full on replacement.

Lots of credible people speculated that mortgages were solid bedrock so in the name of short term gains, they stacked them up into flimsy piles of shite and got ratings agencies to brand them as top shelf investments.
Credible and otherwise intelligent people say and do stupid and/or self serving things all the time.
At this point, there's ample evidence that the job loss trends are legit and tracking with some of the estimates. It doesn't take much to research it. Don't just read what the venture capital crowd who's funding AI is saying, read what the geeks who built & are building these platforms are saying.
Anecdotally, I've been experimenting with several LLMs in my work for the past 3 years. Their progress in what they can accomplish in terms of meaningful work (once trained and properly configured) is amazing. It's affected my business positively, but at the same time I've been able to avoid hiring and/or contracting entry level people because the AIs save me so much time with lower-level tasks.
So I stand by what I said originally. It's going to effect every industry to various degrees on varying timelines, but in the end we are going to need less human workers. That's going to be a big problem for the next decade or so while whatever the new norm is shakes out.

That will be a shite ton of people losing jobs I would imagine.
Lots of credible people speculating sustained 10-25% long-term unemployment starting in the next couple of years. The real challenges with this particular industrial revolution are that (1) it's happening quickly across all sectors of the economy at the same time, so people have less time to retrain and adapt, and (2) as you pointed out, we'll just need far fewer workers doing most tasks.
I think people and economies will adapt, but we're in for a rough 10-15 years.
Only in the good parts.
Will be interesting to see what happens after the next cat 4 plows through there, especially given what insurance costs now vs back in '04 when Ivan tore it up.
Hideous what they've done to that area. Greedy. Why not just save a little bit of natural habitat? Better for long-term erosion control and storm surge protection anyway.

They’ve passed enough notes at this point to know if there will be a deal or not. Every day that passes weakens the resolve. I’m honestly shocked Trump has allowed it to stretch out this long.
Almost like he’s stalling because he has no clue about how to get us out of that mess….
I’ve been holding out hope that we just walk away, bomb TF out of them again for good measure, and declare victory.
But that clearly ain’t happening. The MIC/neocons got to Trump, and we’re now hip deep in ME Clusterf*ck #3.
Uh oh. I guess I hit a nerve because the ALL CAPS made an appearance. TWICE!
:lol:
You seem like an unhinged old man.
I don't hate Trump or think he's "the bad guy." On the contrary, I view him as the least harmful of several bad options.
I'm thankful that Kamala didn't win, but he's just a politician to me. My entire personality does not revolve around who I vote for once every 4 years.
Do you see the difference?
The level of adoration some you have for this man is creepy. He's just a politician. Just a man.
Yet some of y'all have fallen into this permenant fanboy mode. It's strange to see grown men acting like this.

By not giving a sh*t? The same way I feel about any other politician's birthday?
Do you not realize how cultish this reads?
Weird.

That's not gonna be good for business this Memorial Day weekend.
He's gonna have to make it rain. We need a legit Friday night guy & Sat starter to complement our bullpen of project pitchers, those who may or may not be head cases, and those prone to mysterious, untimely injuries. Won't be cheap. Do think JJ will be hamming with the swiftness.

re: But Jay got yorke in the game

Sure. LSU had four hits. That sucked. Jay went with a match up, left and left. Yorke ph for Patrick right? Patrick had 2 SO. He was not doing much that night. Jay took a chance. No one else was hitting anything. He had injuries and under performers all in the batting order. Played the match up game with a guy who could hit big at times. I am not a Yorke fan either but I am not going to shite on a player who plays for LSU. Guy took a chance with LSU also and it probably killed his career just as much as it did not work out for LSU in the end. Make a decision and manage it from there.
Appreciate the response, and I can see a lot of it making sense...except LH vs LH. Statistically, that's an awful matchup for hitters in general. And I think I heard the broadcaster say that LH hitters had fared particularly poorly against that AU pitcher.
Seems like a dumb time to fight the analytics.

:lol: This right here will melt some commie brains.
I would love to see some coherent opinions / rational for putting Yorke in for that last at bat? Honestly, wtf?
I have been slow to criticize CJJ and I have not picked much on Yorke because he's clearly just not had his best game this year.
All that said, giving him an AB at that moment broke my mind. We still had a chance at that point. But dude is ice cold and has been anything but clutch all season.
If we get another base runner there....but no, another 3-pitch strikeout.
Somebody please make this make sense.

Dat LSU baseball magic just needs a little bit of wiggle room to work with. I think we found it last night....
All the pressure is on AU now. Hopefully the fellas can just relax, have fun, and shoot the moon tonight.
