Entranced by their need to know WHAT to think, their inability to know HOW to think left them vulnerable to domination by demagogues and the dissolution of a free society and so, born citizens, they died subjects.
The hardest lesson NFL MVP Steve Young ever had to learn.
"Fear-based thinking is a liar. I was afraid of failure, so much so that I paid this price so that I could have success. I learned as an older person, that's a fallacy. That's fraudulent."
"I'm not going to pay for success with my worry and fretting. Man, fame is a thief. Fear-based thinking is a thief. There's a lot of thieves in life."
🚨 WTF?! Minnesota Democrats have voted UNANIMOUSLY to BLOCK a requirement to remove DEAD PEOPLE from the voter rolls, per @GrageDustin
How much more obvious can they make it??!
These people are rigging elections right in front of our faces
Scumbags.
🚨🚨ELON: "One of the biggest fraud holes we've uncovered is that the government can give money to a so-called nonprofit They then give themselves insane salaries, expense everything, buy jets and homes on the taxpayer dime This is happening at scale."
@JL_Chapman John thank you for your breakdowns. My game watching experience improves with your teaching. The hardest part now is watching a live game and knowing I missed so much of what happened on a play. You rock and you are doing what the Lord made you for.
David Friedberg: Obama Doesn’t Understand AI and He’s Making Prosperity Political
President Obama last week:
“If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI. That's a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing.”
@friedberg:
“These words honestly just, they made me, like, emotionally distressed that if he's a leader that people listen to and he doesn't really articulate accurately what's going on, it's sad that we've lost the plot.
I think it's sad that we aren't all kind of holding hands saying, ‘My God, the future is here, and we all get to leap forward, and we get to bring people up.’
For years, Obama orated beautifully about the importance of bringing people up, about giving people the opportunity to progress, about letting people advance themselves. And there's never been a more equalizing technology, a better economic opportunity for prosperity for everyone than these technologies, than these tools.
And to hand wave the word agentic and say we don't need agentic AI to solve cancer shows how little he actually understands how this technology works and how it's all become just a shorthand for a political fight to what?
What are you fighting for? What is the political battle that says, ‘I am going to leave half the population behind, and I'm going to make an argument against prosperity for all, in order to make my party look like a morally superior party, and to cast the other side as bad when the other side has literally discovered fire and the world now has fire, and we're going to go take water and throw it on the fire.’
No one gets fire because the other guys are saying that fire is good.”
The single biggest difference between humans and AI agents is the amount of actions they execute on a computer per unit of time.
AI agents can look and act just like humans, but execute 10,000X more actions per unit time. that's the tell.
so the key to defending cyberspace from AI slop or AI attacks is to target ACTION, not IDENTITY. trying to detect AI is a fool's errand; targeting its BEHAVIOR is the key.
So if you want to deter AI from accessing your website/system, simply make it expensive in computational tokens to ACT on your website. Make every command or button cost a token, and suddenly it's 10,000X more costly for AI to act than a human.
You can't stop AI, but you can make it extraordinarily expensive to use it.
We already know this intuitively, because everybody who has ever run openclaw or their own personal AI agents knows that the single biggest LIMFAC is compute tokens. your AI is only as good as your compute token wallet.
but AI compute is constantly getting cheaper and better, and some countries have far better AI compute than others, creating a major imbalance of power. so the key to long term success is to create some kind of universal, non-sovereign, geopolitically neutral compute token network. that is, we need some kind of network that accounts for a bunch of transferable tokens that are computationally expensive to produce. that no amount of AI compute can produce more of.
we need a proof-of-compute token network. and we need it to be fully decentralized so that no single person or polity can gain permanent or centralized control over it. we need this network to be globally dispersed. and we need to figure out a way to distribute those compute tokens in a way that's fair, that gives no single person or polity an advantage over the others. perhaps in some kind of first-come first-served basis, where the users who provide the computational power are given the tokens and free to spread them out however they want.
if we had this compute token network, the final step to saving ourselves against AI is to simply adopt the habit of making every online action cost some fraction of a compute token, so that it's orders of magnitude more expensive for AI agents to operate online than humans.
the first nation to discover this compute token network and use it to its defensive advantage against the threat of agentic AI will win the 21st century.
BTW that compute token network is Bitcoin.
My 10-year-old said to me, "Dad I'm glad your job isn't getting taken by AI," so I asked what he meant. "Well, I asked it for help this year with our family's stock contest, and it told me to buy $NKE, which is down more than 40% since then."
We want Anthony Fauci's assistant to testify about who gave her the orders to destroy records, how many records were destroyed, and the time period she destroyed records for Fauci.
Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, you should want that level of transparency.

@OrbitWinder@cfosilvia@APompliano Glad you are on it Pomp. Since I may still have you or your teams attention, how about working with Maller’s to figure out how to give Silvia transparency into my Strike Bill Pay account.
@OrbitWinder@cfosilvia@APompliano I take it your wife retirement accounts and your retirement accounts (401 and IRA) are with different companies? I am unable to link both my and my wife's Schwab accounts.
