Testing scams

Any non-scams yet? Or is it safe to assume anything that looks like a scam, is one?

Computer monitors are significantly more expensive for the same size and are overkill for the applications TVs are generally used for.

I think they meant "all of this is what might happen next"

But yeah even then social media will still continue to somehow have an ever increasing number of "users"

I sympathize with this. People on the spectrum already have a hard time just living, then they have the extra hurdle of having a hard time communicating their hard time. It feels very human to want to hide the struggle, it makes you feel more like you belong in the world and that you are just one of the other billions out there being "normal" and doing "normal" things. That's a longing that I've felt, but I'm fortunate enough to not have felt it to the degree your father seems to have. I hope you and your brother find a way to get through to him.

Yeah, what do people expect? It's not like they own massive, self-sufficient data centers on several continents.

And that's really what all these guys saying "AI will take er jobs" don't understand. Good programmers are not just good coders, coding is really the easy part. They're also good analysts and listeners. I understand what he's saying - if you spend time accruing specific domain knowledge instead of computer science then you can perhaps make better, bespoke solutions because the "coding" can be handled by AI. But in present day, AI makes garbage code all the time and you'll be left there not being able to do amything about it because it doesn't make any sense to you. So who do you call? Someone who can code. Even if we get to this hypothetical dream scenario where you tell an AI to do something and it just does it perfect (gigantic IF), who's making that AI? The interface for it? The important safety nets to make sure it doesn't go on a rampage? Itself? Too much context is already lost in conversations between humans, let alone an AI. I can think of one kind of AI that would be able to do it perfectly though (assuming AIs could be perfected, that is), and that's an AI pre-equipped with full understanding of the domain. But then in that case, why do you need the human in the mix at all?

Are you a mod of something? Might be related to that, cause I got an invite too and the only thing I can think of is I have moderation activity.

Nothing you can do. This is the implicit (and sometimes explicit) contract we have with cloud services, that they'll keep our data safe and keep the lights on forever. If you think about it, though, unless you're paying for it this is untenable. A single user, when paying with their attention, will only ever generate a fairly fixed amount monthly. And yet the cost of keeping them on as a user grows steadily over time as more data is accumulated.
