Eric Schmidt says intelligence is about to decouple from us.

“The computers are now doing self-improvement.. They don’t have to listen to us anymore.”

Within six years: a mind smarter than the sum of humans -- scaled, recursive, free. We have no language for what’s coming.

The fact that the federal minimum wage has stagnated at $7.25 since 2009 is atrocious.

But it's worse than that.

Adjusted for inflation, the federal minimum wage is worth 28% less today than it was worth in 2009.

It’s worth 41% less than in 1968.

An absolute disgrace.

[Alex Shehata MD @AlexShehataMD]

It has begun.
