My wife listens to a bunch of true crime podcasts and many use the same voice. I've also heard this voice in commercials and Youtube videos that are clearly AI generated.
"Open source is closing its doors. Yesterday, tldraw took the unusual step of removing the tests from their codebase, on the theory their continued presence would make it far too easy for anyone with an agent to build a cleanroom rewrite and undermine their business. Nothing says "closed for contributions" quite like not even having access to a test suite or CI to work with"
This could always happen with open source. If you are worried about 'undermining your business', you shouldn't release any open source, as big companies can always do this.
It's a victim of its own success. It's struggling, because large institutions are invested in it, and it now rises and falls with the stock market. It used to be advertised as an alternative to these institutions.
I also think because of the volume, pump and dump schemes are less likely and some popular Youtuber shilling for it can't raise the price anymore.
It's struggling, because large institutions are invested in it
Many of these "large institutions" (for example, Fidelity) are merely trade facilitators responding to client interest --- aka, speculation. They have nominal investments in crypto as necessary to offer trading services to their clients.
An apparent exception to this is Strategy, led by Michael Saylor. But even in this case, their direct "investments" are actually financed by debt ($6 billion or so) --- aka other people's money.
In most cases, it's the "little people" who have all the skin in the crypto game.
The part you are leaving out is treating them solely as "illegals" means these people will avoid going to physicians to get their shots, because they would risk deportation.
The obvious solution for better health for all would be providing public and freely accessible locations for getting these shots, or mobile teams providing them at schools etc.
Can you cite some sources? Because most countries have a functioning vaccination program, in part thanks to now-cancelled USAID funding. But vaccination rates have been dropping, just like in the US. https://www.unicef.org/lac/en/press-releases/latin-america-a...
Your comment reads like anti-immigrant propaganda. If USAID were to be restored, the US could use its vast wealth to improve global health. But the current US regime is decisively anti-vax and wants everyone to suffer unnecessarily from preventable disease.
Yet the measles outbreak in Northern Mexico was caused by antivax white mennonites who brought it from Texas. Turns out there are subpopulations everywhere who need to be vaccinated - if only we had evidence-based people in charge of public health instead of wellness grifters.
If the current generation of software engineers only know how to code using AI, engineers that don't need it will be that much more valuable in the coming years.
I’m less focused on engineers using AI to code and more on agents being the “users” of software. Especially because you have agents doing all these tasks now (ie. OpenClaw and others). Even if engineers stay critical, if the end consumer shifts from human clicks to agent decisions, distribution and ranking mechanics change.
Would you agree or do you think this stays human driven long term?
You only get better at something if you actively try to improve and learn from your mistakes. Sometimes you can't do this on your own, and need to hire someone with more experience to teach you.
For many people, this takes the fun out of it, because it's too structured, which is fine too.
