@manb321@steppenwolves@Tesla I RSVP'd and booked flights/hotel for myself and my guest. I assumed they wouldn't ask for an RSVP and then backtrack with a "just kidding!"—that would be cruel! I was so excited to RSVP, I forgot to take a screenshot of the agenda and times as well. Pls share if anyone has it.
@cb_doge I am preparing to start traveling full-time. I was thinking about starting a vlog on YouTube to share my experience and subsidize this lifestyle. I never thought of doing it on X until I stumbled upon your post. How do I get started on X? Open to +ve suggestions
@heydave7 Gerson Therapy (mentioned in this documentary) cured my friend's mom's cancer. Maybe worth looking into if you are open to natural cures. Sending you good thoughts... https://t.co/soxwVe9zuN
For all the people defending 14-year-olds working at McDonald's instead of automating those jobs, where would you draw the line? How young is too young to make your Big Macs for you? Why should kids do work that machines can? Because you did when that tech didn't exist?
GPT-4 now exists. LLMs are already being embodied in robots. Flippy exists. The technology to almost entirely automate McDs already exists, some locations are even already doing it, and yet here we are debating whether 14-year-olds should work at McDs or not, because of our own work history as teens. Because if we did a thing, our kids should do it too?
I worked as a teen too. My first real job was a paper route. My 2nd job was pushing carts. Those jobs were disposable income for me, not survival income. I wasn't put to work by my parents to pay the bills. I was lucky. Others are not.
But here we are now in the AI Age. We can do universal basic income and make sure that no one (adult or child) is forced to take a job just to survive. We can make all jobs fully voluntary disposable income vs survival income jobs, and automate as many jobs as we can.
When we do that, great, teens who really want to work for spending money, who wouldn't rather be wanting to do something else should be able to freely make that choice.
But we have to make that world first. I refuse to support a world that forces some percentage of kids to work for their families' survival when we could prevent that with UBI and machines. Survival work for kids is not okay just because you worked as a kid, and wages so low that only kids will do that work is not the way to encourage automation or make survival more affordable right now.
Step back a moment and consider just how much work we can hand over to machines right now, why we aren't embracing that, and where making it easier for kids to fill jobs fits into that picture.
Don't let anyone ever tell you, NOT EVER, that you don't deserve all of these freedoms.
Don't let this world convince you that you're unworthy of these freedoms.
You are worthy.
You deserve these freedoms and more.
Fight for them. Demand them.
