Gavin Newsom's Daddy was a BIG OIL LAWYER, and he's STILL raising taxes on gas! Elon Musk makes Teslas that don't USE gas. Elon created over 100,000 jobs for Californians: 1000s of his employees are Millionaires now. Food costs are up no thanks to Gavin's beloved Covid shutdowns.
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE.
When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted.
The system is rigged.
@Gentleman_Ways It's a good movie and yes it looks great -- Kubrick had some special lenses made for it so he could more easily shoot in candlelight without the need for conventional lighting, as I recall
The European Space Agency's Ariane has been launching rockets since 1979, but fell behind SpaceX in 2017 and are still years away from making their own re-usable launch vehicle. They have plenty of smart engineers in Germany, France, etc -- they just don't have Elon.
Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones in an attempt to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. forces have downed all of them in recent hours as traffic flow through the strait continues unimpeded. The international trade corridor remains open for transit.
@pmarca The only flaw I spotted was in here: "if you mean the agency dispatched, with trumpets, to slay a single dragon, which arrives at the cave, surveys the accommodations, and moves in—and spends the ensuing century laying eggs and devouring the very villagers it was sworn to defend"
@japan_nobunaga Anthropic appears to be concerned that their new Mythos-class model is so powerful that it can be used to create biological weapons more easily than ever before -- and their safety tripwire is currently set to "hair trigger"
In case you can't afford to roll the dice on the SpaceX IPO, you can always make cool pictures and videos for $10/month, which is actually a great deal

Everyone give all of your money to Elon so that ONE day he can make money free and your investment worthless! 🤣Congratulations to Elon Musk and the SpaceX team for making private Space Exploration possible! 🚀
ELON MUSK:
“We’re going to have universal high income.
We’ll basically just issue money to people."
"AI and robots are going to make so much stuff and provide so many services that they’ll run out of things to do for humans."
"Money will stop being relevant at some point in the future."
"AI won’t use human currency. It will care about power and mass: wattage and tonnage.”
ME:
“So just as you’re becoming a multi-trillionaire, money starts to have less value?”
ELON:
“Yeah, pretty much.”
@pmarca Flying AI drones (one for each of us) will record us and report all complaints to whoever the CCP recommends be put in charge of that kind of thing.
@pmarca What separates Movie Stars with little to no training as Actors from other talented actors who are more skilled but never become Stars?
Swagger.
Luck too of course, but actors with a Friendly Swagger sure seem to get a lot more of it.
Delighted to tell you that Messy Jobs is coming out on June 21st. The kindle preorder link is available!
Here are advance reviews/blurbs for you to ponder by @raffasadun@davidautor@patrickc@alexolegimas@bengtmit and Evan Guo.
"Messy Jobs is a brilliant application of price theory. AI changes what is scarce in the economy and therefore what is valuable. When intelligence becomes cheap, judgment, coordination, trust, and responsibility become more valuable. The authors use this simple, powerful logic to illuminate how AI will reshape work and organizations." Bengt Holmström, Paul A. Samuelson Professor of Economics at MIT and recipient of the 2016 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences
"In Messy Jobs, Garicano, Li, and Wu bring the discipline of organizational economics to a question too often left to speculation: How will AI actually reshape work? They move past the usual debates about what AI can or cannot do and ask the harder questions. What shapes the incentives to adopt it? How does adoption reshape the incentives to learn? What new configuration of skills will emerge as AI advances? A rigorous, original, and engaging account of how AI will reshape organizations and labor markets, and what it will take to thrive in them." - Raffaella Sadun, Charles Edward Wilson Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School
"This is the first book in the AI era that recognizes that most of what organizations struggle with does not involve computational problems. People in messy jobs must hold coalitions together, adjudicate between competing interests, and make change stick. These are political, diplomatic, and interpersonal challenges. As a result, these types of messy jobs will persist well into our AI future. Garicano, Li, and Wu, are neither techno-utopian nor techno-dystopian. They take seriously what machines can do, what humans will do, and how jobs will be rebundled. The economics analysis is lucid and penetrating, and the book pinpoints where human agency will remain paramount. The book is hopeful and practical for anyone charting a career in the coming decade." - David Autor, Daniel (1972) and Gail Rubinfeld Professor, Google Technology and Society Visiting Fellow, Margaret MacVicar Faculty Fellow, MIT Department of Economics
"This is simply a must-read book if you are interested in the future of work in the age of AI. For decades, Luis Garicano has been a leading voice in how organizations morph and change with new technology and innovation. Together with Jin Li and Yanhui Wu, they have written the definitive text on how AI will affect the labor market. The book is an impressive feat of combining academic rigor with clear explanations and concrete examples. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about what comes next. "- Alex Imas, director of AGI Economics, Google DeepMind, and the Roger L. and Rachel M. Goetz Professor of Behavioral Science, Economics, and Applied AI, and Vasilou Faculty Scholar at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business
"There is a lot of woolly thinking on the topic of AI and jobs. This excellent book contains by far the most thoughtful and economically literate account that has yet been written." - Patrick Collison, CEO, Stripe
"AI is not going to lead to mass unemployment, and this is the best book to explain why not. It also illuminates how labor markets are likely to evolve. It is short, to the point, eminently readable, and of extreme relevance. ""- Tyler Cowen, professor of economics at George Mason University
"This book isn't just some economist's armchair theorizing; it's a practical guide. I hope you get as much out of it as I did. "-- Evan Guo, CEO of Zhaopin Group, the largest career development platform in China
