There are four buckets (of unequal size) but I don't know if success was measured by landing within the "correct" bucket or being within the highest p(AI-gen) bucket as TP, or both extreme top and bottom buckets. I only read the journalistic article and not the original research, so idk. 1000 character minimum worries me more, there's quite a lot of text smaller than that (like this comment).

Is that really the worst part? These people make ridiculous amounts of money. If I were a major shareholder in Google, I wouldn't want to pay all that extra.

Not gonna lie, from outside the industry, unemployed tech workers sound like spoiled children to me. And when they start referring to themselves as "the workers," it legitimately makes me angry.

These are the people gobbling up homes across the country for 2x what the locals can afford. Their salaries are going down? GOOD! Let them go down A LOT FURTHER.

I've never seen a good justification for why FAANG salaries are so high other than "supply and demand," so now that they're falling and people are getting laid off? "Supply and demand."

Rightnow Yes the scramble for hiring devs is still high and other industries are trying to snag the devs as fast as they can.

I got laid off at the end of last year and a lot of recruiters I talked to since said that they had more then enough demands to swallow the whole force that got laid off

I mean who knows what the future holds…

But why isn’t Russia a technological powerhouse…

Germany, Japan, Korea… these are not authoritarian countries, with nightmarish political systems. They ain’t perfect, but they ain’t totalitarian hellscapes either.

Just because things are going well somewhere, doesn’t mean the trajectory holds.

Iran was a beacon of progress in the East, now look at it… Brazil was poised to become a powerhouse but things fell apart.

No doubt Chinese industry has come a long way, turbo boosted by Western companies wanting a piece of the action but as the country becomes more insular, more extreme… let’s see how things go.

China’s rise was not Xi’s doing. He’s just the rich kid inheriting his Daddy’s fortune.

I think the major problem with E3 for the majors became having to have something to show when they weren’t ready for it. As AAA games go from taking a couple years to develop to more than 5 years for many they would end up showing video that was just as likely to never make it into the game as it would. With all 3 of the majors now doing directs they can wait to announce something until they have a better idea of when it will actually launch and what will be in it. And let’s face it, they still miss launch dates as often as make them.

The raw data is from there, among other things, but there is more to it. It was trained using supervised learning and reinforced learning.
