@nebiusai and @CoreWeave are highly active conference sponsors
The other two on the list are not.
The lessons learnt in the trenches forged in altcoin era still ring through
Shill coin get money
Wonβt be surprised if a butlerian jihad happens at some point. Maybe thatβs why intelligent species have never been able to cross the chasm into space faring civilisations
The best thing the SG government can do to protect jobs is to ban autonomous driving. Saw it in Las Vegas when I went on my pilgrimage to see @saylor at BTC US. Those cars were training while I was riding my Uber, but at some point, those uber guys are gonna be replaced. coded
And what SG needs to do instead of focusing on acquiring as big a stake in the leading companies that are building AI as possible, which is happening thankfully. So that we can support our people by leveraging capital
Ironically, I think Singapore shouldn't focus on improving the TFR. We should allow our population shrink. Trying to fight the tide doesn't make sense. Trying to increase it, was to fulfil the retirement ponzi, young pays for old's retirement. But this ponzi no longer works
And imptly it doesn't matter. As AI improves, we can do more with less. Instead of the young paying into the ponzi, replace by raising taxes on companies that use AI for productivity
@benhwx@Meta As more get replaced, its a real possibility that we enter a debt crisis as more knowledge workers can't service their mortgages. At first its a trickle, then later a tsunami. Property values crash
@benhwx AI is moving at breakneck speeds and soon its not a remote possibility it can also replace white collar workers (lawyers/bankers/tech workers), @Meta leading the way. Its probably better now to deploy into this with high conviction
Countries get the cabinets they pay for. Singapore pays its Foreign Minister about S$1.1m, around US$800,000. The salary is benchmarked to 60% of the median income of the top 1,000 Singaporean earners. That is why you can get Vivian Balakrishnan, former eye surgeon and hospital chief executive, implementing @karpathy's external brain idea (link below). The speech shows deep understanding of AI and fills one with confidence about Singapore's future.
The UK Foreign Secretary earns roughly Β£165,000: the MP salary plus a ministerial salary of about Β£67,000. The ministerial part is frozen since the crisis and is down by roughly a third in real terms since 2010. This is what a junior Magic Circle lawyer earns.
Spain pays its ministers around β¬85,000. So you do not get a surgeon who has run hospitals. You get a party loyalist who has never run anything.
