It's a gerontocracy. The old people have the voting power in elections. The old people vote for the benefit of old people. Even if it's not in the interest of the whole country.
It certainly is ironic to die of a gun shot for someone who said some gun deaths were necessary for the 2nd amendment
His argument of comparing it to cars and car accident death is a good argument tho from a "rationalist" pov.

This data is based on firms not employees. It could very well be that firms are dropping their AI based projects while employees continue to adopt.
This would still be a shift in how this technology arrives
I can't argue against your local statistics if they work locally for you. But you must understand that that's your local sample.
But it isn't. It's not an anecdote. The whole white collar world runs on credentialism because it just really is the best rule of thumb there is. Nobody has time to sift through a thousand applicants to find the few good self-taught people.
Doesn't matter. I don't have the time for vetting people, I need good rules of thumbs for which candidates deserve a closer look. Being classist about socioeconomic background would be a useful rule of thumb. Credentialism is a better rule of thumb. We still make exceptions ofc.
And that isn't just me. The entire white collar world works like that.
Disagree. I can tell the difference between coworkers who went to college and those who didn't (and good universities vs mediocre colleges too). In the way how structured their work is, how structured they write. It just isn't the same - no matter how much the blue collars cope and seethe.
