He said it’s impossible to escape the ghetto… “I said everything is possible.”

Dopo anni di lavoro, oggi ho tenuto tra le mani la prima copia di The Italian Dream.

Non parla di nostalgia o declino inevitabile ma della possibilità che l’Italia si riprenda il futuro facendo leva sui propri punti di forza.

If you treat the future as fixed, you react.

If you treat it as malleable, you design.

Will people lock up their home healthcare robots at night? What if you need middle-of-night help? Will they be allowed to give CPR or perhaps have an AED built-in to them? Will they be required to report psychological issues that are sub-dangerous?

@JDVance please make internet freedom a part of any deal. 90 million Iranians have been without net for 40 days. Total information blackout.

Wild that last night’s airman rescue used C-130s - same as Operation Thunderbolt (raid on entebbe) in 1976. Props to @LockheedMartin for such an enduring airframe. @mikeallen

“America will never be good again.”
“We’ve lost the war against China.”
“The robots are going to kill us.”

My main issue with blackpilling is that it is entitled and lazy: Rather than work to address any of the world’s many problems, one can declare it all just too impossible—a clever trick that leaves more work for the rest of us. What’s even worse is that this terror is contagious. It’s one thing to let fear colonize your own heart; when you say it out loud to others not as a question but as a statement, you are infecting them with your disease, spreading demoralization as far as your words can go.

But wait, you say, it’s normal to be afraid. We’re living in an era of one dramatic, often traumatic, event after another. How else are we supposed to understand this?

Simple: You’re in a wilderness.

re: AI. It’s not about the tool.
It’s about how and if we as a society actually decide how to use it. Steel is for swords and scalpels. AI is the same — we are sending ourselves and our kids into a room full of chainsaws without any instructions or (moral) guidance.

@sfrantzman But hasn’t technology etc. become a significant enough force multiplier that those comps don’t totally hold anymore?

Proud to be a part of this endeavor. More soon…

Stop waiting for the future to collapse or save you.

If you believe the future is built, not predicted, repost this and start building.
