@wx My HVAC guy takes expensive fishing trips to Alaska every year. I'd say the business is profitable.
I registered for a hvac program at a local comm college. I’m 49. Did 15 horrible years at O and then another 5 at toxic horrible shops. Seen enough. Dont even need to make a ton. Just want some pride and purpose and bennies….and working with normal hardworking people. Oracle was horrible.

@ez no money? But yet they scramble and oversell to get 20 yr olds in and keep them till 34-37. The younger fresh outta school the more they salivate.
@e1 no. They won't. The roles you are referencing are going to be obsolete. Like phone operators. They are not coming back.
The narcissistic ones are still attempting to be relevant on Dinkedin.
The ones without huge egos realize they have families and lives to protect and will do anything including Uber

I hope they spread info to the next generation as well to avoid IT field, no money here, keep away
@ea The political reaction has been slow at best and usually nonexistent. Most politicians, most people for that matter, don't really understand AI. It is hard to regulate something you don't really understand. They needed to be in front of this and weren't. Now they will be chasing it forever.
@e1 I think that was very much the intent. Not so much as to send people to the unemployment line, but to reduce labor expense, which sends people to the unemployment line.
The political reaction to what is happening will be "interesting".
Google lost $500 billion in market capitalization on October 29,marking its largest single-day market value drop in history. The steep decline was triggered by cannibalization from AI search results, and massive AI capital expenditures that pushed free cash flow negative.
@df LMAO Cry wolf fallacy - because past unrelated alarms were not heeded, the wolf is now safe for the sheep.
"people said the exact same things about the Internet and cell phones. Try and live without those" - We have lived without these and overall life was fine - just a little slower. Internet and smart phones were shoved forced into our daily lives and we know what that did to everyone, especially Gen Z.
Not many thinking grown ups are interested in getting fooled a third time.
@dz I don't think the intent of AI was to cause mass unemployment it is more of a side effect. AI isn't the first disruptive advancement that society has seen. There will be a displacement of workers at first but those people will move into new roles. Of course this doesn't make it an easy transition for the displaced workers. Replicating or exceeding human intelligence is a more difficult aspect. It will be used for both good and evil but that is really the nature of many things.
@df ya but Internet and cellphones goal was not to create mass unemployment of humans and replicate humans knowledge and abilities.
@d7 you may not subscribe to an AI provider but you pay for it in other ways. It is built into everything. It is not going away. I don't know how old you are but people said the exact same things about the Internet and cell phones. Try and live without those. This initial bubble will pop and things will calm down but it will growth into an integral part of life.
How did mankind exist before AI turned their selfies into ‘Lord of the Rings’ characters? 😂
Only 2% of the Americans pay for Ai. it's over.
Why pay for something I don’t want, need, or use?
@bm not all the population in the country are Programsmers and developers you stupid. Even they are getting laid off.
Everything is better than freezing at O with poor skills and finally being kicked off after some time. Do not wait, do not let the frusttation grow, the future is in your hands.
Reject from Oracle end up working at McDonald
Or you could quiet quit and work multiple jobs - like on different ai projects from mercor

The business model of Ai is to generate mass unemployment. and the tech think people will pay for Ai? 🤣
Only 2% of the Americans pay for Ai. it's over.
