I would be happy to demonstrate to you how you can drown in a bathtub. PM me for details; get your affairs in order beforehand.

Layoffs of managers.

Get any Linux sysadmin certificate! The world’s infrastructure runs on Linux, CI/CD-pipelines have a heavy Linux bias, and compared to how Oracle or SAP certs have developed, anything certifying you as capable of installing, setting up, and administrating a network of productive Linux servers is imho the straightest way to a solid job.

No.

Aging 20-30 years in that future should be portrayed as ~10-15 years of aging in our timeline. People (esp. Inners) are far more long-lived thanks to advanced pharmaceuticals. See the coroner’s bit about life expectancies in S1.

Point is though, that you’ll want no trouble with the law abroad, especially on a school trip. Keeping a respectfully low profile is never a bad idea.

Though I do confirm that Munich police are quite chill and helpful.

I’m a naturalised Swiss citizen from the German-speaking part, originally from Eastern Europe. I’ll try to cover some of what other comments haven’t:

1. First thing: get employed. In fact, get a contract before even coming here. Life in Switzerland has serious recurring costs and safety nets are sparse. I’m not saying it’s easy, it’s the biggest challenge, but it only gets easier from there.
2. Learn the language (Swiss German), keep practicing it, and mind that you’ll never be 100% accent-free or accepted by everyone in society. Switzerland has a kind of baseline hostility towards everyone, and foreigners get some extra.
3. Build up your own circle of friends, which is downright easy in most “cities”. Pubs are ubiquitous and great for this. There is a sizeable Balkans minority, which might need some extra navigation, but you prolly know this better than I.
4. If you’re through with points 1.-3. though, let me tell you, this is hands-down the best country in the world. You’ll love it here. You’ll never feel as home anywhere else like you’ll do here.

Conversely, being forced to use Excel with Copilot is the traditional punishment for unwarrantedly flogging somebody (you need to get consent first, mmkay?).

… fucking Hogger, man

Because the word “up” literally means “away from the planet” you will not find a single point on Earth where there is not exactly one general direction clearly definable as “up”.

But to get personal with you, I don’t put any stock in the opinions of people who unironically say “if Earth is round…”. This reply is for the poor souls who had to read your post due to my additional downvote not having saved them from it.

Quality shitpost, effective ragebait, lolcow audience 👌

☝️It’s not a belt.

… I’ll see myself out.

It’s Fuck the Fuckers by Fuckity McFucker

Not that I am one, but I believe true libertarians should be rabidly pro anti-trust legislation, letting corporations fail, and a 100% inheritance tax above a threshold.

Lol, thanks Vance for giving Magyar Peti the boost.

ÁRAD A TISZA ♥️🤍💚!

I concur with most answers here, describing LLMs as useful in specific situations (e.g. video editing), but straight-up unreliable whenever critical thinking and correctness are required (e.g. software development).

What I’d add to this, is that whatever the benefits of the technology might be, the current monetary cost is orders of magnitude above profitability. The billions invested into hardware for data centres… that’s just gone. Nvidia might sell off the unused hardware at a loss, unprofitable LLM data centres might still get repurposed into something useful, but the bets made on replacing human professionals with eternally stupid chatbots will never pay out. The money’s already gone and we still haven’t begun to experience the full extent of this economic disaster.

I still get flashbacks…

Oh not this again…

If the permalink doesn’t work, it’s the 5th engagement bait thread on the same bullshit. Looks automated too.
