be rich, hire an ai guy, let him deal with it

Won't everyone essentially be a shareholder indirectly? so yeah, someone should think about it.

what is the source data? the author says they've seen "far more non-technical people than I'd expect using Claude Code in terminal" so like, 3 people? who are these people?

There are many different populations in the USA. How useful is the overall life expectancy average? What decision can I make with this information?

It's bad news for social security and Medicare.

The men vs women numbers otherwise are pretty useless for the reason you gave


The significance is obvious: People in the US are getting healthier, by a significant metric. That doesn't matter? The US is a relativley well-defined group, sharing many inputs and consuming many of the same resources, including the same national health care resources for research, care, regulation, etc.

Are you saying only your 'population' matters to you?

What do you mean by it exactly? There are lots of populations everywhere, and every population can be broken down into more populations. Any aggregate number won't describe you as an individual, even if it's a number for your own family.

how do they know it was tools and not some wood some guy was munching on?

this is going to be the ultimate rug pull, for lack of a better expression. without actually gaining real skills, how are people relying on AI going to cope when it is unavailable or taken away or becomes too expensive? there's people advocating for UBI but why would you have incentive to donate income to incompetent unproductive people.
