This is generally true. My brother is a musician, and he struggles to find work. I got lucky growing up working on programming projects until 3am for fun, then being interested in database research and later AI research several years before people started paying attention. I think we need a UBI so that the people who don’t want to build stuff can do what they want instead of going into marketing or sales, or anything that’s a net drain or neutral on society.
This is why I roll my eyes when people talk about “human preference models” with a straight face
I’m grateful to live near a Mt. Sinai location. Another factor here is that some parts of the country have better healthcare than others. You might consider moving elsewhere in the U.S. or to another country if you anticipate continuing to need more than the occasional doctor visit.
Oh yes, unlike the French and Dutch…???
2·4 months agoPeople here keep saying folks are more chill on the West Coast, but I’ve lived in NYC for two years and around California for 8 (mostly the bay area), and this hasn’t been my experience at all. If anything, I’ve noticed the opposite of the stereotype. The California folks tend to be very un-“chill” when I deviate from some social norm by accident, while New Yorkers are generally pretty accepting. I also find when I ask folks out west to be direct because I really need that they way my mind works, they still often don’t, but New Yorkers will. I’m not sure what others mean when they say the West Coast is more chill since it was so much harder for me to get by there-- maybe they’re talking about something else.

“Built to do my art and writing so I can do my laundry and dishes” – Embodied agents is where the real value is. The chatbots are just fancy tech demos that folks started selling because people were buying.

Not in NYC. Spectrum is my only option and they are flaky as hell
Think a bit before you talk. Hard for all of us!
I like the digital sovereignty stuff. Just wish they’d get rid of the AI act and some other rather heavyhanded, regressive rules. Then I’d probably go to Zurich and try to get into the tech scene there.
