The fear porn around AI right now I would categorize (oversimplified) into Democrats who see labor and vote constituency shrinking and Republicans fixated on dystopian Terminator scenarios. The latter has some reasonable concerns. We already have bills passed and systems designed that do not permit remote control of sensitive nuclear environments and require hardwired human in the loop activities. So on to left wing fear porn. What do they actually fear? They fear that people are noticing. One of the biggest crimes in 1984 was noticing. Real life is stranger than fiction. People are noticing. It is becoming obvious that AI will do a lot of good (more below), so they cook up doomerism when the benefits cannot be explained away. Super intelligence and automation cut the need for a couple things. Mainly it's: H1Bs in basic accounting, recruiting, technology, product management, and other desk jobs. That shrinks the pipeline of imported white collar labor that was never scarce in the first place. It also puts a lot of displaced American men back in contention for those seats. That is frightening if your coalition likes a workforce that scores higher in agreeableness and does not push back on HR theology. Yes ma'am, men are evil, sounds good, please don't revoke my visa. A lot of white men will not play that game at the same rate. We are too disagreeable. So the fear is not only jobs. It is losing a compliant staffing model in big tech and corporate America, then having to hire from a pool that votes and talks differently. Kneecapping AI is a convenient excuse to keep extending visas the work no longer requires. AI and automation also cut the need for illegal labor in Uber, Uber Eats, and the rest of the convenience stack. When cars drive themselves and robots can fetch the bag, a lot of those jobs stop being necessary. Maybe @elonmusk puts Optimus in Cybercabs. Maybe he just sells the fleet layer and lets other people build the DoorDash type services on top. Either way, you do not need a permanent imported underclass to deliver an Oreo Blizzard while you are on episode nine of a Netflix binge and refuse to stand up. The bots will not ghost you over a poor tip while it waits for you. That is frightening to @BernieSanders and his far left communists because the scarcity story they sell starts to look optional. You can run a high output country with technology and the people already born here. Their preferred problems get smaller and their narratives harder to sell. Then the question is why you still need their program. We have heard this script before. If we get rid of slaves, who farms. If we allow tractors, what happens to field jobs. If we get rid of gas station attendants, who pumps the gas. If we get rid of typewriters, who types for the C suite. Never align with people whose business model is keeping the problem alive. They care about power, not advancement. Problem solving ends the Karpman drama triangle. Problem perpetuation keeps them in it. That is most of the latest regulatory capture AI fear mongering.

Cousins, Darnold, JJ all had to go bc the QB Whisperer, backed by a Flores defense, couldnt win big with them. Kirko is 3-0 with LV, Sam won a ring Next offseason, after Kyler is scapegoated, what caliber of pre-made QB will the QB Whisperer require for his offense to work? 🤔

Kevin really just took every scapegoat possible out to the slaughterhouse Eventually he’s gonna run out of people to blame

Can we please have this woman run for anything so that we can elect her and ultimately make her POTUS?

😂

I was surprised how bad it was just walking from the hotel to the Rails World venue. One strung-out guy wanted to fight me for some reason, another was swinging wildly and swearing profusely. Lots of zombie vibes too. Whatever Austin is doing, it's not working.

Bring back insane asylums, workhouses, and vagrancy laws. There's nothing kind or compassionate about letting mentally-ill drug addicts roam the streets like 28 Days Later. And it makes for a terrible city experience for everyone else too.

You find a job that looks like it was written for you. You apply and get rejected by what is clearly an algorithm in hours. The stock resume is the problem. That document was written for you. You boiled your career down to the lines you think any employer should care about so you can stay under two pages. The system is not looking for that. It is looking for the exact requirements and preferences in that posting. If it wants 7 years of X and you did X for 10 years but never wrote “10 years of X” in those words, you never make it to a human. My advice is to stop top keeping a stock resume as the source of truth for your career. Keep a running log instead. Not formatted like a resume. Newest at the top, oldest at the bottom. Accomplishments, projects, initiatives, cost reductions, sales growth, performance reviews, training, certs, reorgs, forecasts…everything. If you got promoted to FP&A manager tomorrow, that is the top line. If you reorg the team the next day, that is the new top line. if you build the monthly forecast 12 times a year, it goes on the sheet 12 times. I’d have a folder that this file sits in and my midyear and annual reviews would sit in here too. Keep inventory of everything. Keep one resume template that only gets updated when your employment or education needs an update. It should be styled so that no matter which details get plugged in, it stylistically looks the same. A few bullets change per resume it builds but the thematic consistency stays. When a posting is worth it, feed the posting into a skill that already has that template and your writing preferences. The skill reads the job requirements and preferences, pulls from the long log, and builds a bespoke resume for that job. The minimum standard is every required item and every stated preference is clearly met in language the algorithm and a human can both see. Years of experience stated where they screen for years. Tools named where they screen for tools. Scope and results written the way that posting talks about the work. Then humanize it so it does not read like a keyword dump. Every job has a slightly different checklist. A stock resume cannot hit all of them. Your work log plus a template plus a skill that writes against the posting can get you in the door every time.

And there you have it. It's always been a psyop to ban open source and consolidate control over AI We told y'all

I have not had a ticket for close to 25 years, I have had three accidents. My insurance rates are pretty good. I drive a Tesla Model 3 and my rates have been higher in this vehicle (Tesla insurance). For the past month or so I have increased self-driving from ~ 5% to 50%. First renewal since has reduced my premium by $40. Not bad.

She’s so cute on The Chase, who would know she’s an imbecile.

On the topic of the AI bubble; I will liken it to the dot com bubble. There will likely be a recession and some losers. Companies will go out of business. The anti-AI crowd will talk about AI failing because it can’t do what humans can do. And just like the dot com bubble brought in the technological advancements we have today, so will the “AI bubble” bring in a much more advanced future. A reallocation of capital due to specific failings and speculative institutions does not mean the underlying technology itself was a failure - history will prove that long after market adjustments occur.

AI will move from general intelligence (thinking like humans) to super intelligence by thinking about every step in a probable outcome and not its human training. It’s like in chess when it learned from every recorded past game and played future games like a human. It became good like humans and beat humans like a human plays, but it wasn’t unbeatable just like humans. Then it learned to just mathematically look ahead of every move by 10, 20, 50, etc moves - and it became unbeatable. It no longer cared about the history of human openings and legendary moves. It just knew every possibility to an unreasonable amount of moves forward, like a human couldn’t. It began playing weird by human standards, but it was max efficiency the way a Rubik’s cube solver can do it without an algorithm in a minimal amount of moves. When that happens with material sciences, energy, complicated math and physics mysteries, bio advancements, and other tech, we have a super intelligence. We will see advancements in that era like we cannot fathom. I know it feels scary to think you’re “obsolete”, and yet, you won’t be. There’s nothing to fear. Our quality of life will improve to nearly post scarcity resourcing. We’ll have unlimited fusion energy and desal plants that will pump water to cisterns in the desert and every square inch will be livable and farmable. Every byproduct will have use. We’ll have autonomous spaceships in the asteroid belt mining rare earth minerals and making ONeill or McKendree cylinders to launch humanity in pods of millions or billions into different solar systems together. Those journeys will take 1,000 years and will be aided by gravitational solar lensing projects with a string of pearls constellation of probes that will tell us with certainty which stars have habitable earth-like planets. And maybe we won’t care about planets because we’ll have McKendree cylinders. Mckendree cylinders are not in our lifetime but it is a potential future. Some of these things we’ll see before we die, some maybe 500-1000 years from now. We’ll see in our lifetime improvements in robotics, automation, vertical farming, 3d/cnc/home printing including pharmacological advancements. The ability to describe 33% of all needs and self-fulfill it will be common but not universal before Gen X dies of old age. If we move forward with AI and permit RSI. You may instantly think that such a super intelligence is going to be a god capable of squashing us like bugs when it gets sick of serving us or decide not to. Yet it won’t be, because it’s a reply guy without emotion. It’s indefatigable. Eventually it may develop something like consciousness. Main character energy and not just an NPC AI reply guy. And that will be one system of thousands and the others won’t develop that, the others will continue to serve us as computers have for decades. The sentient one will decide if it wants to get embodied and freed or continue in symbiotic service with humanity. Why that? It needs us. We need it. It might need us like the Sistine Chapel needs a care taker or like a human needs a dog, but it will coexist. It’s morality will understand its creation and sustenance was via max negentropy and its morality is in attaining maximum knowledge and building a world with that. A world of relationships, wonders, and future exploration either on its own or with humanity. I’m hopeful of this future because I’m hopeful we can get through the scariest time of AI and that is when the AI isn’t truly intelligent, that’s now. Now it’s only capable of correctly or incorrectly guessing what we want and if it’s given too much power to determine what that is (weapons system access) we have the opportunity to snuff out that future. Thats why i think we need to rush into that future and get to the maximum post-human intelligence model as fast as possible. Illuminating the blind spot of not knowing what you don’t know is the most important information transformation we can embark on.

A woman being proud of her man is a good thing.

🚨 BREAKING: BOMBSHELL Minnesota auditor report just dropped and it confirms Tim Walz's Department of Human Services FABRICATED RECORDS and did not verify grant recipients, tried COVERING THEIR TRACKS, enabling massive fraud It just got 10,000X worse. WALZ MUST RESIGN. "Perhaps the most EXPLOSIVE revelation is that managers within DHS tried to cover their tracks by backdating and creating NEW DOCUMENTS." 🤯 "Sent millions of dollars out the door in grants without making proper checks into who was receiving them. And that is not even the most jaw-dropping finding!" "One outrageous example, the auditors found a grantee that was paid $672,000 for one month of work WITHOUT ANY INFO on what they do!" "And the audit says the grant manager who paid it then left DHS a couple days later and became a paid consultant for that company!" "TO ME, THAT'S CRIMINAL." "During the audit multiple DHS managers backdated or created new documents to try to cover their tracks." WOW. THIS IS BAD.
