It’s almost like some tasks are easier, and some require significant education and experience.
Dumping cans of food into a crock pot tends to be in the former, decent jobs tend to be in the latter.
I can’t back a semi-truck up into a loading bay, nor do I think it would be easy for me to learn how to do that.
I do ALL of the grocery shopping for my family of 5, not sure why you think I wouldn’t.
My wife and I put on about 12 liters of Chili to cook this morning. We regularly batch cook from scratch, and I regularly make extras at dinner just to set aside as freezer meals for the kids to reheat anytime they want.
We both work full time, have a side hustle, and all of our kids participate in sports. Our days, nights, and weekends are hectic as hell.
Without prepping, we’d be eating fast food all the time. Except… we don’t.

The talents books by Anne McCaffrey
Anyone who throws a cigarette butt onto the ground.
Anyone who blocks an entire aisle in a store by stopping and leaving their cart on one side, then standing on the other side with 5 family members.
This is just such a bad way of thinking.
Why does everyone thing that fresh fruits and vegetables are the only way to eat healthy? Fresh is good, but there are plenty of healthy foods that are not fresh. Until we had refrigerators, humans didn’t eat a lot of fresh fruit or vegetables for half of the year.
You can be healthy eating rice and beans, using frozen or canned vegetables too add even more nutrition. All of which can be obtained pretty much anywhere, including food deserts, and stored for long periods of time easily.
You can literally dump a bunch of shit into a crock pot, go work a double shift, then come back and have dinner ready. So don’t give me “it’s too hard to cook.”
It’s cheaper than fast food by a significant margin.
People buy fast food because it tastes good, full of fat and salt and sugar. Food deserts exist BECAUSE people choose not to prep their own food.
Nepotism. A friend of people who already had that role got it.
By failing to get a job that I was the most qualified applicant for, then having a mentor (who was one of the people already in that role) help me understand why I didn’t get it. I was steaming mad. It wasn’t fair, it wasn’t reasonable, but it wasn’t something that I could control either. I could only choose how I dealt with it.
Not if they’re the only employee left… still CEO.
You can only control your own actions.
With the right skills built out first, the CEO absolutely could be the person doing that.
You HAVE seen it write. You have definitely seen it write poorly. However, you’ve also seen it write at a level where you didn’t even notice it wasn’t human written.
Just because something CAN produce bad output does not mean it can only produce bad output.
I can produce excellent output. I am also fully capable of producing slop. I’m human btw.
Because to do it manually you need to find the sources for each of those values, then put it all in a table, then do the complete math.
Checking involves clicking the source link(s), then doing a quick mental calculation to see if it’s approximately correct.
Which is still less effort than doing it from scratch yourself.
I know you guys want to hate ai for everything, but it’s not as bad as you think it is.
No they aren’t. I ran it through gemini and it gave me a perfect answer. I double checked it against public values for nutrition.
Ask AI… That kind of task is pretty trivial for modern LLMs.
Social credit doesn’t measure valuation at all. It measures compliance with government.
I think he’s referring to an actual physical mesh network (likely wifi based) rather than something built on top of the internet itself.
I wouldn’t have the opportunity or energy to plan ahead if I didn’t plan ahead.
I know people work hard, I grew up in a single parent household with a full time working mother. She still cooked us dinner and didn’t get us fast food frequently. Lots of easy casseroles and such, but it was healthy and filling. Most importantly it was cheaper.
I keep seeing these people complaining about being poor when they’re ordering fast food for dinner for a family of 4. That person just worked 4-6 hours at a job to pay for that dinner. They would have saved time and money by working less and cooking more.
That situation doesn’t need kindness, it needs a reality check.
