I think single digits increase was relevant last year, but in 2025, even more. For sure my job can be made much more efficient with a more mature AI. The various AIs are already allowing me to work quicker and also do less thinking. Layoffs will continue and whoever is left will HAVE TO use it even more to make up for the reduced head count.
Curious why this seems to be a partisan issue. It is an undeniable fact that most governments have become over bloated and can be made more efficient. This is a science oriented website with what I assume are science-oriented thinking people but I mostly see here kneejerk reactions to the bad orange man.
The 'sales rep' persuaded the buyer that the pagers would be impervious to Israeli spying.
The explosives were virtually impossible to detect even if the device was disassembled.
Hezballah actually disassembled some and x-rayed them but did not find anything wrong. (some earlier reports had said that the plan was executed earlier than expected due to suspicious by Hezballah)
About 3000 members were killed and injured.
The message received told the users to press on two buttons to review a secured message and this insured direct injury.
Taxi drivers, cashiers, baristas and more will be automated at a certain point. SciFi movies have clearly shown that reality coming. And new cars already record lots of parameters so having a personal car for the sake of privacy is no longer a selling point against the use of a robot car.
Israel desperate needs this system asap to counter Hezballah's seemingly free reign to attack norther Israel. The USA simply does not seem to care enough about defending its outposts in Syria and Iraq to have something already operational.
They already hate Jews. Not all the militants who crossed the border into Israel and carried out atrocities were actually terrorists. The clips show many who were just 'regular Joes' who went to get some Jewish blood, rape Jewish women, decapitate Jewish babies, and then bring back hostages and bodies for ransom.
Perhaps misleading. It's not only 'senior executives'. Even junior management might struggle to manage people remotely. 'Getting the work done' is not the only parameter when people are working on a team. So John and Sarah might be able to do their tasks whenever, but what happens when they need Susanne or Robert who are also 'working' from home?
That is highly misleading. My company has a ton of H1Bs and they are brought over because of lack of Americans to fill the spots and because they are good. Many are great enough to be kept even after getting a green card and longer. The size of India means that the US can take the top .1% of the brain pool and offer them the American dream instead of third world quality of life.
Back in our day, we only had a limited amount of channels to scroll through, so ultimately kids hooked on TV would be exposed to A LOT 'content' that was not in their direct interest and ultimately, watch other stuff.
Now, my kids are only watching 'entertainment' and Youtube will by nature never expose them to other content like science and nature. And even if I do try to reengineer their feed, the algorithm will always reconcentrate on their entertainment choices.
My company has a relatively significant presence in India with real offices so I don't think they are considered outsourced. I guess that is the price to pay to have higher quality off shore talent who are not mere virtual assistants to the US-based company. The salaries of my colleagues in India are definitely not as low as Nigeria and due to the increase over the years, the company is looking for cheaper counties. Outsourcing to Ukraine failed even before the war, and the company was not yet ready to establish an office to properly off-shore.
