There something devine about the Oppenheimer soundtrack. It has some psychedelic effect on my mind.

I can literally feel my neurons firing rapidly.

[David Shapiro (L/0) @DaveShapi]

I've had back-to-back calls today all about Post-Labor Economics. Europe, Canada, and America are all sitting up and paying attention, but only via closed-door sessions.

As I have the vantage point I do - talking to government and private sector alike from vastly different regions, there are a few patterns emerging:

1. There are no best practices yet. Many people see the writing on the wall regarding Post-Labor Economics and the Great Dislocation (or Great Decoupling) coming. Many people want a checklist of policies and interventions that they can do - from the individual level, to the firm level, to the state level. While we do have hundreds of examples of measurements, policies, KPI, dashboards, and other interventions that are being trialed globally (keyword: trialed) there are almost no hard-and-fast rules. Heck, many people don't even agree on the details when they do happen to agree on the bigger picture!

2. Everyone looks at it from their own narrow perspective. This is just human nature, but let me illustrate why this is a potential problem. The unions focus on things like pensions, upskilling, and jobs protections. Meanwhile, the firms focus on headcount reduction (layoffs) and automating as much as possible. Then the states focus on jobs programs and unemployment. Very few stakeholders are looking at the entire picture, and before long, they're all going to be talking past each other. It's nothing any more nefarious than plain old ignorance - everyone has their personal experience, incentive structures, and motivations.

3. The problem is way more complex than most people realize. Even when you have years of personal experience, education, and connections to draw upon. There are no silver bullets, panaceas, or one-size-fits-all solutions to the post-labor problem. Ostensibly, it's simple and good: automation creates abundance. That's the easy part. Rebuilding the economy and society around this new reality, however, is complicated. Even having been saturated in it for months and months now, talking to top minds around the world, there is not yet any clear, obvious set of solutions. Yes, people prefer simple solutions like "just buy bitcoin" or "just give us UBI" and certainly I think both of these are directionally correct, but individually, they will not be totalizing solutions.

After my marathon of meetings today I just sat back in my chair, head in hands, and said "Oh my god, this is so much harder than I thought." But secretly (okay not so secretly) I really do love it. If it were a simple problem, someone else would have figured it out by now.

I realize that the three points I outline above are probably somewhat unsurprising, but I share these observations not because they are obvious, but because they underscore just how early we are. Even collaborating with universities and institutions and companies, and their top minds around the world, there are no obvious answers yet. I don't mean to alarm anyone, just giving you an update as to where we're at.

Now, the silver lining in all this is that we still have some time. Jobs are still robust for now, AI adoption is only just now ramping up, but this doesn't mean we can just wait around and twiddle our thumbs. Major job disruption is a trickle now, but next year it's going to be quite loud. The clock is ticking. My best bet right now is that it's over and done in 5 to 7 years. We'll have transitioned to Post-Labor or had a popular revolt by then.

Supersonic is back, baby!

On January 28th, Geppetto broke the sound barrier aboard the first privately-developed supersonic jet.
And today…@realDonaldTrump broke the sound barrier…permanently!

In 1973, a ban was placed on supersonic flight over the US. It was supposed to protect the public from sonic booms. But instead it banned innovation. The result crippled progress for half a century. The trend of ever-increasing flight speeds ground to a halt.

However, today we can celebrate–quiet supersonic flight is allowed!

The supersonic race is on and a new era of commercial flight can begin. Unleashed, my bet is very much on 🇺🇸(and @boomsupersonic).

Please join me in thanking @realDonaldTrump and @USDOT @SecDuffy for their leadership—as well as @SenTedBuddNC and @RepTroyNehls for introducing the bipartisan SAM act. And to the team @FAANews for leading us in the next steps for boomless flight!
Make America Supersonic!!!

Big tunneling milestone!

For the first time, TBC has continuously mined in a Zero-People-in-Tunnel (ZPIT) configuration. There is nobody in the machine (besides the videographer), which is simultaneously advancing forward and erecting a ring (i.e. building the tunnel). Each full ring weighs ~24,000 pounds.

In the same way that full and rapid reusability is the holy grail for rockets, ZPIT continuous mining is the holy grail for Boring Machines.  This is the safest, fastest, and least expensive architecture to build tunnels.

@krassenstein He is a fucking legend for doing this. There needs to be way more protest against the erosion of American democracy!!

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Cory Booker has now been holding the Senate floor for an incredible 21 hours.

And he's only getting stronger with every passing minute. This 1-minute clip right now should mark a pivotal moment for the Democratic Party. It’s a turning point for all Americans who care deeply about preserving our democracy, and it’s a clarion call for young people to rise up and ignite a powerful grassroots movement across this nation.

This is the energy we need to fuel real change. Let this moment serve as the spark that lights the fire of action, accountability, and justice.

WISCONSIN: You have the power to REJECT Musk and the oligarchy buying our elections. Send a powerful message to the whole country.  Vote today for Susan Crawford.

Polls are open NOW.  

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

BREAKING: Cory Booker has now held the Senate floor for over 16 hours straight and counting.

Currently, 27,000 people are tuning in live via a single YouTube stream, and more than 4 million viewers have already engaged with portions of his speech.

This is the kind of momentum Democrats need. People are watching to see how long he can keep going, but in the process, they’re being exposed to truths and facts that many don’t hear from mainstream outlets like Fox News.

Thrilled to announce @IsomorphicLabs has raised $600M to turbocharge our mission to one day solve all disease with the help of AI.

I've long felt that improving human health is the most important thing we can do with AI & today marks a big step towards a new era of drug discovery.

What a success! At 12:30 PM CEST, Isar Aerospace's Spectrum launch vehicle successfully lifted off from Andøya Spaceport in Norway. The launch vehicle was terminated after approx. 30 seconds in flight, and the vehicle fell directly into the sea. The launch pad seems to be intact.
