Capacity to see macro and micro aspects of ventures. Whether it’s in real estate or crypto, I excel at looking at both the big-picture and fine details.
Almost every promise of modern technology has delivered the opposite result
- Social networking made historically less social
- Unlimited information made people much stupider
- Technology use during childhood has made children less advanced
@dmc_dmcc Households with 1 working parent making enough to have a family is ideal for society.
I am not a fan of subsidizing it but, it may have some good outcomes. Smaller labor pool could push wages to keep pace with record corporate profits.
Who knows?
BREAKING: The Trump administration is now refusing payouts for US soldiers who died in the US-Israeli war against Iran "because it isn't a war," per Telegraph.
Libby Klinner, widow of 33-year-old Major Alex Klinner, says the US Air Force deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following her husband's death because Congress has not officially declared war. She says "my husband lost his life because we're in a war, and then I was told that because it's not technically a war, we lose out on something. It all comes down to principle."
Trump responded that US strikes on Iran were "intermittent" and said "a lot of people don't call it a war. I call it a military conflict, because it's small potatoes for us."
Families of US service members are now accusing the Pentagon of downplaying the extent of injuries sustained and saying they are not being treated by the US military as combat casualties.
MIT mathematically proved that AI will destroy the democracy.
A Nobel-winning MIT economist published a terrifying paper called "Automation and Repression"
As AI and automation replace human labor, wealth concentrates heavily in the hands of a tiny group of capital owners. Inequality skyrockets.
When inequality hits a critical mass, workers realize they are being crushed and the threat of a popular revolt spikes.
Faced with that threat, the ruling elite are forced to make a choice.
They can redistribute the wealth through taxes, or they can use force to keep people down.
The paper mathematically proves a dark reality: there is a direct, inescapable link between automation and political repression.
The more capital accumulates through AI, the more the elite prefer repression over redistribution.
Why? Because sharing the wealth cuts into their power. Funding a police state protects it.
It gets worse.
The authors modeled what happens when an economy starts inside a clean, stable democracy.
As automation advances and capital concentrates at the top, the math shows that the elite eventually find democracy to be a liability.
They stop supporting democratic systems. They back a coup. They install a repressive system just to protect their automated wealth.
Nobody is voting to end democracy.
The technology’s economic incentives just make authoritarian control the logical next step for survival.
I still think about the guy who pointed out that "the underlying purpose of Al is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth." Rarely have I seen Al described so succinctly.
The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th.
That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days.
Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.
