103593443 OP : Don’t understand

Tonyco : Interesting article, but the ultimate point seems vague. You jump around the pitfalls of billionaire CEOs, which I agree with. For example, META wasted how many billions on "Second Life 2"? Overpriced garbage company with dying userbase replenished with fake accounts (and no accountability in user metric reports, literally using the honor system lol)..
However, 3D printing really is revolutionary, and if things are being "washed away," it is due to the fiscal policies of red states like North Carolina defunding their tax system. This results in very old and inferior infrastructure.
Remember Hurricane Katrina? Same deal - eventually, society pays the price of Boomer's greed.
Where 3d printing comes in, is in relief efforts:

Tonyco : As far as AI is concerned, which you seem to think is overblown (I think?) , it isn't a mechanism for mass displacement.
It's a mechanism for opportunities and efficiency that can and will help our lives. For example, comments in one of the videos talking about tech worklife and pay you linked: A person making that kind of money for that joke of a job? Cut the fat! Companies without resources of the giant corpos can save alot from bad actors leeching off "tech jobs" and their inflated salaries.
Coding is going to AI, too, and good! I think coders have long felt deep down their inflated 6 figure salaries are probably not justified. Most programmers I've interacted with tell me they spend most their time fucking off on the internet or playing video games st work.
AI has helped me reach +700% returns in this, my first year, in trading stocks. It's not making my choices for me, but able to navigate the internet and respond to my questions.
Like any tools, it will be both good and bad. As a society, we must make sure to limit the bad and amplify the benefits.
You seem more aware than your peers, but like you, I'm not gonna give free passes. I have reasons for my beliefs, and one of those remains: until Boomer (Gen X might as well be boomers, regardless they don't vote or care) influence is gone, humanity will suffer.

APATEU : Cool

Cameron Conoley : lol posted too soon

Forever 365 : How much you know about earning  tomorrow

smoothshoe OP : By all accounts, the tech sector is expected to beat earnings by an overall average of 9%. Keep in mind that stocks have fallen after top and bottom line earnings beats when expectations are baked into the price. The recent tech sell off is a good sign that if companies beat expectations, their stock price has room to go up. I'm optimistic going into earnings, but geopolitical situations will continue to have an impact on markets.
