There is absolutely no reason for a doctor to make over $1000 for a 15 minute conversation.
No doctor makes this much for a 15 minute conversation. A small portion of that money is going to the doctor. Much of it goes to all the other aspects of healthcare. The facility, other people involved in care, etc.
And no 15 minute visit costs 1000 dollars to the patient as well. That’s a pretty big exaggeration.
On Saturdays, in the town of Surfside, I would frequently see many Orthodox Jewish people at the beaches and cheerfully going for walks and so on. A pleasant and wonderful atmosphere.
The Industrial Revolution led to a substantial decrease in agricultural jobs for humanity. But ultimately there were new jobs created.
This happens with every technological innovation. It’s called creative destruction. The idea that some technology will lead to mass unemployment and then some kind of revolution…that is a myth that’s been around since Marx. Actually even before him.
I predict the same thing will happen. Some jobs will go away. Others will take their place. The people of the 1700’s and 1800’s couldn’t have even begun to imagine the kinds of jobs many do today.
Unfortunately, we don't experience creative destruction in abstract terms like reading about it in a history textbook. Most people are really just focused on their own lives. Losing their job AND the economic value of their skills is nothing short of a disaster. I don't think telling them "relax, eventually you'll be able to switch over to entirely new categories of employment!" is really going to strike the chord you're looking for.

What are these jobs? I have seen this same opinion by so many, but nobody can hazard a guess what those jobs are. In the meantime, those whosw careers are caught in the blast radius of AI are putting their hope on hypothetical jobs appearing before their employers decide to replace them.
Many jobs today require 3-6 years of training, either degree, deploma, or apprenticeship. There currently isn't the economic incentives in place vs ditching the old guard and hiring new.
Previous positions need to go through the process again merely to arrive at the bottom of thebl ladder
Is this the new thing that’s going to happen now? People use phrases that have been around forever and people accuse them of using AI?
I’m glad I’m not going to college in this environment. How unfortunate and demoralizing it would be if I wrote an essay by myself in a college class and the professor thought I was using AI.
I haven’t been to college in a while. That was long before AI. I do have access to some of my old essays. Based on their tone and some of the wording I was using, I don’t doubt that some people would accuse them of being AI written were it not for the fact I wrote them many years ago.
Will college students now deliberately try to avoid certain common phrases out of paranoia of being accused of this?
> People use phrases that have been around forever and people accuse them of using AI
What's happening (in the most part) is that because people used that phrase long before AI, that its in the AI training set and being slopped back out at us.
sitting with something is for way more personal or emotionally intense shock than one ceo saying other ceos are lying sacks of shit about layoffs, albeit in ceo speak.
a republican party die hard from like the 70s or earlier would be so shocked and disgusted by the modern incarnation that would literally need to sit down for a while just to emotionally process their shock and disgust.
shitty ceos not owning their fuckups, not shocking
I was thinking some of the community ones are bogus and then I started looking closer at a few of the hotspots. There is what appears to be a compelling site for a datacenter right in the middle of a cluster of these reports:
I looked around North Dakota and there are several that say community reported. Pretty sure those either don't exist or aren't significant in size if they do exist.
> WILLISTON, N.D. – Gov. Doug Burgum today announced the construction of one of the largest data centers in the world near Williston as North Dakota continues to emerge as a hub for high-performance computing, including cryptocurrency mining.
> The Atlas Power Data Center being built by FX Solutions Inc. is part of a $1.9 billion, multiyear project that will require more than 100 workers during the two-year construction period and create more than 30 permanent jobs, according to Richard Tabish, president of Missoula, Mont.-based FX Solutions. Atlas Power, an operator of high-density facilities serving cryptocurrency mining and high-performance computing utilizing alternative power generation, will own and operate the data center following its completion.
> ...
> The first phase of the project will consist of 16 buildings, each 350 feet long by 30 feet wide, to house tens of thousands of servers that will conduct high-performance computing using 240 megawatts of electricity. Phases 2 and 3 call for expanding to 500 megawatts and then 700 megawatts, adding additional buildings and servers.
> WILLISTON, N.D. (KFGO) – Residents west of Williston were hopeful for a few hours on Tuesday, June 20, after the Williams County Commission voted unanimously to instruct the local power co-op to shut off electricity in a portion of a local cryptocurrency mine. But Corey Seidel said he knew the effort had failed by nightfall, when the servers were still operating at their usual levels.
This is an excellent article. The author does a great job taking all this data to reach the conclusion.
What I’m wondering about is…why?
As in…why is cancer rising among the later generations? Smoking has substantially fallen and this has led to a sharp decrease in lung cancer rates. So why are cancer rates overall increasing for those born in the later generations?
