@JordanSchachtel The scenario that is being floated is that 1) AI will eventually be better than virtually every human on virtually every subject
2) It keeps improving
3) it can copy itself infinitely

That is very different than the Industrial Revolution analogy

[Greg @biggiant001]

@bettersafetynet Honest follow up questions. What about the millions who are:
1) Entry level employees, when the entry level work is automated?
2) lower-level or older employees who lack the technical skills or ambition to do “more”?
3) Those who work in factories, drive for a living, etc

What you want is AI to cause mass unemployment quickly. A huge shock. Maybe in 2-3 months.

What you don't want is the slow drip of people getting laid off, never finding work again while 60-70 percent of people are still employed.

My favorite thing about Twitter is when you open your feed and see something interesting that you never saw before and then it changes for no reason and you can never see that other thing again.

$70k car financed → “congrats man, well deserved.”

$120k in student loans → “totally normal, don’t stress it.”

$20k trip on a credit card → “you’ve gotta treat yourself.”

$8k in crypto → “whoa, careful… that’s risky.”

funny how people clap when you dig yourself into debt,
but question you the moment you invest in crypto.

American healthcare worker films herself on the phone with UnitedHealthcare to show everyone how impossible it is to get care for patients

Even with an approval for over a month, UnitedHealthcare still refuses to provide services

“This is absolutely insane”

Medications also denied for over a month, even with approvals (imagine going over a month not being able to get a life saving medication you need)

“Uhc makes it difficult and inconvenient on purpose”

This is the state of American Healthcare:

There is an interesting subset of people who are unable to understand projections about the future.

It's not just that they struggle with the concept of exponential improvement - they fundamentally don't understand how anyone can make claims about the future at all.

When presented with projections, their response is to assert that the future “does not exist yet,” as if that alone invalidates any attempt to anticipate it.

They are unable to follow trends and extend them forward. Instead, they assume that progress will abruptly plateau, hit a wall, or run into limiting bottlenecks.

One possible explanation for this mindset is the pessimism bias: the idea that humans evolved to expect negative outcomes because being prepared for danger improved our chances of survival.

Another explanation could be a general inability to engage with hypothetical scenarios. Some people seem cognitively limited to processing only what is currently real or tangible.

Of course, it may also be a mix of these factors, or something entirely different.

"Learn to code" they told us

I think we're heading for a complete reimagining of white collar work, not just automation of existing roles. Within five years, I'd estimate 30-40% of current white collar tasks will be fully automated, but that understates the disruption because entire workflows will be reconstructed around AI capabilities.

Take law firms: AI won't just replace junior associates doing document review. It'll handle most contract drafting, case research, and even strategic analysis. Partners will shift from managing armies of associates to directing AI systems. A team of 50 might do the work of 500. Similar compression will hit consulting, accounting, financial analysis, marketing agencies.

The psychological impact will be brutal. White collar workers built their identities around expertise and cognitive skill - exactly what AI targets. Unlike factory automation, this hits the professional class that thought they were safe. We'll see a crisis of professional identity unlike anything since industrialization.

Some coping mechanisms I expect to emerge:

New hybrid roles - "AI orchestrators" who manage multiple AI systems, "judgment specialists" who make final calls on AI recommendations, "context translators" who bridge AI outputs and human needs. But these roles will require maybe 20% of current headcount.

Time redistribution - Some organizations will embrace radical work reduction (20-hour weeks) to spread available work. Others will push humans toward relationship-heavy roles - client management, team building, creative direction.

Geographic arbitrage collapse. When AI can do the work, outsourcing to cheaper labor markets loses its appeal. Paradoxically, this might benefit some developed economies.

The real test: can we detach income from work fast enough? If not, we'll see professional class protests that make current labor movements look quaint. The social contract that traded education for economic security will shatter.

Most unsettling part? This might happen smoothly in some places and catastrophically in others, creating massive inequality between regions that adapt and those that don't.

🚨URGENT: PAUL AND CHRISTY AKEO BEING HELD CAPTIVE IN MEXICO🚨

STATEMENT from their daughter:

On March 4th, 2025, my stepdad and mom, Paul and Christy Akeo were imprisoned in Cancun, Mexico and are now being held without bail in a maximum-security Mexican prison. The last 21 days of being held captive is a direct result of my parents simply challenging wrongful credit card charges made by The Palace Company, aka Palace Resorts with American Express. American Express sided with my mom and Paul as a response to these wrongful charges. The last 21 days of torture my parents have been through is a direct response of The Palace Company’s corruption, extortion, retaliation and blackmail against our parents.

The Palace Company is demanding $250,000, the signing of an NDA that does not even guarantee their release, as well as a Facebook post made by our parents to be left up for 1 week claiming all responsibility and fault for the torture they have endured throughout the last 3 weeks. If that’s not enough, they also demanded a public apology from my mom and Paul to be made to The Palace Company. Absolutely sickening.

Despite what the completely false news articles posted in Mexico say, aiming to defame and slander our parents, we have all proof necessary to show these articles are written off of lies. With no mention of Palace Resorts at all in any article.

My mom and Paul are being denied medical attention, denied proper communication and publicly defamed. They have been held captive in prison for 21 days and despite asking numerous times to speak to Paul, we have yet to have ANY communication with him. My mom has lost 25 lbs. in 20 days due to inability to eat as the prison is serving her food they are aware she is allergic to. She also has a severe rash all over her body they refuse to treat. These are all concerns that have been brought up numerous times to the US Consulate over the last 3 weeks, yet they failed to have any sort of visit with my parents until 17 DAYS into their imprisonment. In other words, the US Consulate and the US Embassy have been nothing short of useless.

We have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars towards Mexican legal representation, but unfortunately that only goes so far when dealing with this level of corruption and extortion. We have also met prior demands given to us by The Palace Company and yet they have had no serious response to letting our parents free.

This includes forcing my brother and I to remove a private Facebook Group of 8,000 members who came together as a community to share grievances and receive advice on how to deal with the strong hold tactics and manipulation that Palace Resorts enforces. By forcing us to remove this group, which we did not own or create, they silenced thousands of Palace Resorts members who were simply sharing their truth of how awful and actually harmful it is to be a Palace Resort Member.

We have contacted numerous local and national government representation including but not limited to:
· US Embassy & US Consulate
· FBI, US Department of State & US Senate
· Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s Office
· US Senator Gary Peters & Senator Elissa Slotkin
· Michigan State Police
· NBC News & FOX News

‼️Please let it be known - Paul is a US Navy Chief Petty Officer and served our country for 21 years. The lack of action from our own government officials to help an innocent veteran who proudly served our country is UNACCEPTABLE‼️

PLEASE help us SPREAD THE WORD—SHARE THIS POST, TAG MEDIA OUTLETS AND TAG OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND REPRESENTATIVES!

If you know our parents at all, you know they are undeserving of this. My family is asking for EVERYONE to step in and PLEASE….HELP US GET THEM HOME.

OpenAI announced 'o3', the next iteration of o1 that surpasses it across all benchmarks

Pretty incredible to see o3 topping 85% on the ARC-AGI benchmark

This American has Stage 4 cancer and there is no cure

She has insurance but she just received a letter from her health insurance that they are not covering her treatment

“One chemo session costs $15,000”

“My doctor confirmed that I got approval from my insurance company before I started the chemo. I've been on it for a few months now — The insurance company suddenly decided that they're not going to cover the treatments anymore”

She has to get this $15,000 treatment “once every 3 weeks”

“Honestly, this letter feels like a threat. It feels like my life is being threatened and saying, we will not pay for your life-saving treatment feels like a threat on my life.”

We need to share these stories because one day this could be any of us

We need SERIOUS reform of our healthcare industry in America

[Brendan Farrington @bsfarrington]

I’m at a cancer treatment center getting my 27th dose of radiation. My doctor recommends 35. @UHC refuses to pay for more than 28. I’ve fought them for weeks to get full treatment approved. This is my Hail Mary to hopefully get them to reconsider.

[Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays]

My current drone theory:

Drones are the future of warfare.

We expect a drone war soon, in Iran or elsewhere.

Our supply of drones far exceeds our supply of drone pilots. We need massive training, and fast. DEI is probably a factor.

It wouldn’t make sense to train in a country where a downed drone could be captured and reverse engineered. Makes sense to train in America, for that and other practical reasons.

The training is at night because the future missions will mostly be at night.

The drones are so reliable there is no real risk of one crashing in an urban area. The military already routinely flies over populated areas.

The public is not told why we need to suddenly and massively train drone pilots because it would tip off enemies and cause too much public outcry.

Training over water or desert or mountains isn’t the same as training over an urban area, so they need NJ density for training.

If they were “sniffing” for radiation or chemical weapons, they wouldn’t quit at 11 PM every night.

No other theory explains the need to fly every night and in multiple locations for weeks on end. . . Yet quit at 11 PM every night.

My pattern recognition says we’re planning for war, and soon.
