What does SJW stand for?

Social Justice Warrior! Heresy here…

Social Justice Warrior! Heresy here…

Thanks. Agree, this profound economic change was engineered for profit and control and originated before SJW was a thing. The GSEs;s do not genuinely care about any SWJ issues but will use them on an as-needed basis.

The RW think tanks use SJW to cast blame and hide their leader's allegiance to tech titans and big $, and that way, the base and workers will blame their plight on DEI and illegals.

America will reverse DEI and deport and still, the decimation and displacement of workers will continue unabated.

PS, an outcome that has occurred to me ( and others ) might be a return, ironically, to a low-tech society where jobless people can subsist on small plots of land and have a barter economy. That at least provides dignity and self-sufficiency.

The RW will reject universal income as "Socialist," which means displaced American workers can live in tents or under a bridge and scavenge in dumpsters, while the cities of more enlightened nations apply UT and benefit from it,

If/when it gets to that point our society will adapt. We're not there yet.

AI is going to decimate a lot of softball "creative" and clerical and administrative workers before that happens. We'll see how arrogant they are, then.

And like I keep saying, those "more enlightened" nations get what they get. I can't wait.

Wow, you really resent educated, intelligent or creative people and think of them all as arrogant. Not all are, some might be, but I've met arrogant people from all walks of life

The "arrogant" people you hate are the ones who, over the years, decades, and centuries, have innovated, created, and developed ALL the concepts, techniques, creative work, inventions, and knowledge that AI is now using and, in some cases, stealing. There are numerous lawsuits and copyright and intellectual lawsuits s being filed to stop teh theft

BTW, in response to deingrating creatives, for the past two years, I have been working on a novel. (between appraisals, can't quit my day job ) I don;t know whether it will be, when finished, good, bad or mediocre. But I can tell you that it is by far the hardest thing I have ever attempted, and spending a day writing it makes a day spent working the hardest appraisal seem like easy.

Creative types might seem snowflakey, but I used to be involved in art, and anybody who makes it at any level in art, music, or any creative field is tough as nails as well as talented because the competition is fierce for the few spots to make a living from it. The rejection rate is astounding. It is like getting up every day and facing a tough job interview with a 90% rejection rate. Day in and day out. Working 70 hour weeks, that is what it takes. The few in the spotlight are not the masses out there - working a day job to paint at night, etc..

The Age of AI: And Our Human Future​

by Henry A Kissinger (Author), Eric Schmidt (Author), Daniel Huttenlocher (Author)
4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (2,374)
3.5 on Goodreads


Three of the world’s most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human society—and what this technology means for us all.

Generative AI is filling the internet with false information. Artists, writers, and many other professionals are in fear of their jobs. AI is discovering new medicines, running military drones, and transforming the world around us—yet we do not understand the decisions it makes, and we don’t know how to control them.

In The Age of AI, three leading thinkers have come together to consider how AI will change our relationships with knowledge, politics, and the societies in which we live. The Age of AI is an essential roadmap to our present and our future, an era unlike any that has come before

I just started this book, it is amazing. I am not a techie and thought it would be dull - it is amazing

I am only two chapters into the book. It is looking at how AI beats humans at chess, including beating HAL and prior computer programs at Chess

And yet, I am thinking, AI can beat us at chess, but AI did not INVENT chess. People invented chess, and all the chess moves out there. AI just can compute them extremely fast and uses algorithms to innovate combinations of moves

AI, in my limited knowledge of it, does not truly innovate. It feeds off of human achievements.

The book also explains that while AI is brilliant, it can also be extremely dumb and does not have a true self-understanding or consciousness the way humans do.

Good, I was hoping you didn't miss the utter contempt I have for the idea that we should attempt to emulate the eurovags. And I also got no use for the arrogants who consider themselves to be the intellectual aristocracy with the inherent right to make our decisions for the rest of us. They don't like me and I don't like them. Nooo problemo. I hope AI wipes them out first.

The fact that there are appraisers out there that trust these data collectors data, is completely insane.

No kidding. I’ve seen 4 and they were all embarrassingly bad. Worst was the one that called a manufactured home a SFR. Another called public utilities when it was well/septic.

I’m doing an appraisal next week where the agent uploaded a piece of **** cubi casa drawing for their gpa. It’s an easy home to measure, so we’ll see how much that’s off by.

Why is any of this surprising to anyone? How much work would you do for $35? I know if you pay me $35 you aren’t getting ****, but I’ll still send you something that looks like what you want. And since I have no skin in the game, I really don’t care about quality. These folks are living in fantasy land that say the fee doesn’t dictate the quality of work you do.

Wow, you are a cistern of hidden hate. Who knew

Idk why you resent smart people since you seem pretty smart. You are free to dislike what you call "eurovags", but most Americans are descended from them and share their values, even if the RW has conditioned their base to distrust the "socialism, which simply means they have better, affordable health care and a better school system

If AI wipes "them " out, it will wipe you out too, and maybe you will be among the first..
And while you may gloat about the prospect of a number of professional people being thrown out of work, the professionals are the ones who pay the high prices to tradespeople -bye to the high prices they were getting.
WRt AI, if not planned for, everybody will be affected, and some of it won't be pretty, including tradespeople and laborers who "Do Stuff," because AI can replace some of what they do too, as well as wipe out part of their customer base.

I heard fees of $75-$100 but who knows. Home inspectors and RE agents do them and compete for the work. Idk how much volume here is or if it is sporadic.

If you can get them close enough and enough volume it doesn't sound horrible if there isn't liability or hassle. You would need to link this to something else to not get destroyed on gas/car expenses and these are probably the top fees. If you are doing these for $35 you need some other angle whether legal or illegal for it to be worth it.
