@owenthcarey Hot take: I like to separate the two. I've had so many pray over the staff meeting, and then have integrity issues in situations that matter. I prefer to feel the holy spirit through its presence in action, and not because of a forced commitment using javascript.
If you're using AI all day and you're not making more money, it means you have the same problem you had before the AI: you're doing stuff that doesn't matter.
This is the real reason 99% of people don't get ahead. They don't know how to tell the difference between what's important and what's irrelevant. And just doing irrelevant things faster gets you the same outcome: nothing.
Except this time it cost you tokens.
@elis@Tesla_AI Have the same issue. Not a fast lane camper, but it keeps letting cars that are going slower than me in the fast lane to get in front of me in rush hour traffic.
Elon Musk: Patents are for the weak.
Ted Cruz: “As I’m walking through with Elon, he’s pointing at the stuff and he says, this is all alien technology. And then he says something really unusual.
We don’t patent any of it. I assume everyone is going to steal everything I make. Patents are for the weak.
By the time they steal it, I’m going to be five or six generations down the road and it won’t matter.”
Patrick Bet-David: “What a powerful thing to say. Can you imagine? It is like an insult to your competition to say, ‘Guys, I'm not even thinking about you.’”

The ADHD dream career is being the person who comes up with the brilliant idea, gets everyone in the room excited about it, then hands it off to someone else to actually build. Here’s why that’s not a joke — it’s a business model:
Being neurodivergent is noticing patterns early, warning people, being ignored, then watching exactly what you predicted happen months later. By then, everyone acts like it was obvious all along, and nobody remembers you called it first. It’s a uniquely frustrating experience.
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.
And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.
One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.
Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.
If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.
Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.
Alternatively
There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.
To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.
It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)
Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.
Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up
But
They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks
Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.
History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.
