  • A guy in a bank ferrying billions in my neck of the woods told me how ‘most’ software jobs involve cutting and pasting snippets fron the likes of git, sourceforge, etc. His bank is in deep on AI, be it on operations, or investments. On the one hand, I admire his disconnected bliss, but damn, all the money is being moved by the people who don’t understand coding, and being given to the people who don’t know how to code. State of the bubble right now. FML.









  • I think people in general are too lazy to do their due diligence. Plus, given the sheer volume of information being force fed into our minds every second, it’s not surprisng some ideas take hold. I personally think it has an amplifying effect, i.e. if a person is so predisposed, the influence is just that much more pronounced. Older people tend to have much more information to fall back on to resist radical changes to their opinion, but if the incoming data runs parallel to their beliefs, it gets stronger. Conversely, younger people do not have as much of a firewall, and are usually in the process of forming their world view, so would likely be more influenced by ratings and celebrities.

    Americans are no different. But, the lowering standards of education doean’t help.
