@grok Some Android users tapping a shared X link inside other apps (e.g. text app, Patreon, discord, etc.) no longer taking them to the actual post in X app.
Lots didn't work.
What worked? In X app, on Android mobile, changing from "Original X" to "New X Android Beta" version worked for me.
Switched back to Original X version on Android and issue returned. Switched back New X Android beta and successfully opens links to the specific X post.
Eric Weinstein just described the end of the mapped life.
For ten thousand years, humans had to earn the right to exist.
Pick a noun. Become the noun. Die as the noun.
Accountant. Teacher. Radiologist.
The box had a name. You climbed inside and stayed until retirement or death.
Weinstein: “Every occupation that is named is over.”
Not automated. Not replaced.
Named.
You picked a noun. It told the world who you were. Then it told you who you were.
If your future has a title your parents recognize, that future is already dissolving beneath you.
Weinstein: “A tsunami of a lifetime is coming and nothing your elders have seen is gonna prepare you.”
People hear this and assume it’s about unemployment.
It’s not. It’s about identity.
The machines aren’t absorbing tasks. They’re dissolving the categories we built ourselves around.
You spent your whole life becoming a noun. The noun is about to stop existing.
When the label disappears, what’s left of you?
Weinstein: “Get flexible. Get good on a bunch of different stuff. Learn how to think across disciplines.”
Stop being a noun. Start being a verb.
But the most important thing Weinstein said has nothing to do with strategy.
It touches something much older. Something closer to the bone.
In a world where AI is world-class at everything, what is the point of a human being?
Weinstein: “I think you should be able to just have a life. I have a golden retriever. I don’t know that it’s the greatest golden retriever in the world.”
For ten thousand years, human worth was measured by output.
How much you could lift. How fast you could think. How much value you could squeeze from a single day.
We trained ourselves to think like machines because machines didn’t exist yet.
Now they do.
And they will be better than us at every measurable thing.
Most people hear that and feel terror. They should feel something closer to relief.
When a machine can do it better, the metric dies. When the metric dies, the cage opens.
You were never supposed to be a spreadsheet. You were never supposed to justify your breath with a job title.
Your golden retriever doesn’t optimize. It doesn’t produce quarterly earnings. It doesn’t prove it’s worth to anyone.
It just lives. And you love it anyway.
That was always the offer. We just couldn’t afford it.
Now we can.
We spent ten thousand years trying to prove we were machines.
The machines just arrived to tell us we never had to be.
“When an Opera Singer tries to do Rap!🤪”
This performance during my BesteZangers adventure, back in 2018 (!) has been a pivotal moment in her career. Which is quite ironic, because it couldn’t be further from the opera genre!😅 I guess, good music is good music. And Maria Fiselier poured her heart into this performance! “You can do anything you set your mind to!” 💪
Who knows, maybe she will get to perform it very soon again!!😍
Wow she killed the song so good and my question is how did she memorize all the lyrics easily as that??⁉️👏👏
