      One thing I found especially dumb is this:

      Jobs that require driving skills, like truck and taxi drivers, as well as jobs in the sanitation and beauty industries, are least likely to be exposed to AI, the Indeed research said.

      Let’s ignore the dumb shit Tesla is doing. We already see self-driving taxis on the streets. California allows self-driving trucks already, and truck drivers are worried enough to petition California to stop it.

      Both of those involve AI - just not generative AI. What kind of so-called “research” has declared 2 jobs “safe” that definitely aren’t?

      I mean, to some degree … yes. Day to day, I do very little math … if it’s trivial I do it in my head if it’s more than a few digits, I just ask a calculator… because I always have one and it’s not going to forget to carry the 1 or w/e.

      Long division, I’ve totally forgotten.

      Basic algebra, yeah I still use that.

      Trig? Nah. Calc? Nah.

        You’re not going to college level math to do basic calculations. You’re going to college level math because you need to learn how to actually fully understand and apply mathematical concepts.

          I hear this all the time that there’s some profound mathematical concept that I had to go to college to learn … what exactly is that lesson? What math lessons have changed your life specifically?

          Also the comment I was replying to was about doing math. Mathematical “concepts” aren’t exactly “doing math.”
