@DissentFu Do parents need to teach someone how to cook? In 2026 someone is a few YouTube videos from cooking most anything their parents would have cooked. People think it’s rocket science but it pretty much amounts to just paying attention, which is a skill in short supply today.
@tyromper This. Can't stand when a bunch of adults are standing around a pool and no one has an eagle eye on the kids. Stuff happens so quickly someone always needs to be watching.
@neetcode1 I work on training some business leaders on AI. The chat is easy for them to understand but cowork still confounds a lot of people. When to use skills, connectors, projects, folders, / commands, etc. it’s not user-ready yet. IT can automate their role, but that requires time
@PreciseCarnage@AllegedlyKen@WallStreetApes Nah, here in Florida, Publix sells 12 packs for like $9-11. Frequently sales of ‘buy 2 get 2’ but who in the world needs 48 cans of diabetes.
@WallStreetApes Think of it like cigarettes. No one needs it, it’s all terrible for you, thank them for jacking up the prices so less people consume it.
@anonemoose25@davepl1968 The dream is still possible but as society has advanced, skills are in demand, not just ‘labor’. Factories automated, food ordering is automated, and the economy pays people their value now based on scarcity like it always had, but scarcity now requires skills, not just hands.
@reddit_lies college doesn’t train you for a job, it trains discipline and hard work. A CS degree is outdated pretty much as soon as you earn a credit. It resembles nothing of the real world, especially now. Companies require degrees because they want to see that someone can finish something
