I imagine Trump's approach to the economy like that of fantasy barbarian raiders breaking into an alchemist's keep. They steal the gold and lead & burn & trash all the scrolls and equipment the alchemist used to turn lead into gold.

So you’re telling me we got the rest of the world to do the lowest value, lowest profit margin, most capital intensive, and most cyclical parts of economic activity. And in exchange, they gave our companies the cheapest priced goods in the world to resell and thrive off of.

"Fun" thing that is probably already happening. Music producer said he's heard young singers come into the studio and sing with vocal inflections that imitate autotune pitch correction. They grew up hearing it all the time! We're going to see that in young people's writing.

Hard to square the breathless enthusiasm from pundit types about the inevitable need for fleets of data centers for AI with the fact that its main use case so far seems to be making growing numbers of people unable to read, write, think critically and relate to other human beings

Given the overlap in, say, online people who hate on vaccines and who love "Western architecture," it's wild they don't pick up on just how cool and amazing mRNA technology really is. Far more impressive cultural achievement than some Doric columns!

Derek Thompson @DKThomp

The war against mRNA research is genuinely insane. The mRNA COVID vaccines were a spectacular success at reducing severe illness among adults. Their benefits outside of COVID remain uncertain. That’s … what the science is for. Instead, according to the NYT: - “States and

The counterpoints to this are that AI isn't useful for most people aside from experts in specialized fields, especially health sciences. And to the extent AI does become entrenched in writing, research, the arts, etc, it's those who avoid homogeneity who will offer more value.

it's funny how so many people are quick to go against ai and the use of ai because don't they realize that if they don't adapt and get with the times they'll be left behind? sure "morals" are a thing but the longer they wait the harder it becomes significantly to adopt, learn and

Maybe the Green Industries course really was "hippy gardening," and maybe that was just this student's perception of it. Strong possibility they, & many of these cheating students, are not emotionally mature enough to handle college course work.

meatball times @meatballtimes

by revealed preference, students must think the work they do in class is a waste of time. fake bonding activities and "hippie gardening" clearly aren't worth their time, so they outsource to AI. anything "fun" or interesting, they still do by hand. https://t.co/08qtAYZSoT

A $1 billion company has operated for 53 years with ZERO managers. Workers buy $500,000 machines without approval. Hire their own colleagues. Set their own salaries. And they're outperforming every competitor in their industry. The coolest company you've never heard of 🧵 https://t.co/mbjABsGgNh

The minutia of Constitutional law aside, it's depressing how many people here seem ready to reject the radical imagination of the American project entirely. To look for any reason to downgrade rights inalienable to all free persons to a set of membership perks.
