  There’s no new jobs for horses after the combustion engine was invented to do physical labor

  Bingo. And this time we're the horses.

  I doubt that stores will only have one employee

  It's already here, my dude. Not every store, but some are doing this now. It's just a question of how fast it will spread.

  IT guy here, I am not that worried about AI

  That's pretty much because you're an IT guy. You're in an industry that AI won't replace any time soon.

  If you were a cashier, or a stock clerk, or a busboy, you should be terrified by AI. The speed at which those jobs are already vanishing is astounding. The other day I was at a restaurant, and I never interacted with a human. The ordering was done by touch panel at my table, the food was delivered to the table by a robot and I paid at an automated terminal. I don't know how many staff were on duty but it had to be a fraction of what it would have been a decade ago. I bought clothes last week and there was one employee in the store, overseeing the self-checkout lanes (but really just sitting idly by in case anyone had issues). I read an article yesterday about how robots are now being distributed to convenience stores that can clean, stock, and reorder items, so these shops will pretty soon have only one employee in them.

  The gimmicky shit that your browser AI and chatbots can do is nothing compared to how this is already revolutionizing the world.

  Those were the really fun days of the internet.

  When surfing the web was actually an adventure and you'd actually discover things.

  Not that I could ever go back to dial up speeds, but damn those days were fun.

  I agree Reddit is toxic. I’d argue reddit actually stopped being Reddit around 2016. But it’s posts like this that clog it all up and are partially why it is the way it is today.

  I gotta agree with this. The toxicity in any reddit thread increases dramatically when the poster pre-emptively complains about all the toxicity they expect to receive. Whereas when you just ask straight without going into a whole speech about comment quality, you get much better replies. Particularly because it's hijacking your own thread; changing it from whatever question you wanted to ask into an analysis of the comments.

  Indeed. While I would have preferred an orchestral piece, the intro theme for Seasons 1 and 2 was jarring, but not bad. When they updated it for S3 and 4 it was absolute garbage.

  The one-shot intro for the mirror universe episode was absolutely fantastic though. They should have stuck with that one, or Archer's Theme, which has an appropriately Star Trek optimism to it, while still being a bit "pop"-y.
