Marc Andreessen on the generational divide in how people receive new technology, and why it's "prime time" for 18-year-olds to grab AI and run with it:
"Douglas Adams, the guy who wrote Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, had the defining description of how technology is received on a generational level... Any new technology is received three different ways by three different age cohorts."
"If you're below the age of 15, it's just the natural way the world works. I've told in other settings the story of introducing my kid to ChatGPT at age seven, 'This is such a big deal because the computer answers questions.' And he's like, 'Duh.'... It's just normal."
"If you're between the ages of 15 to 35, it's new, exciting, a hot field, and you might be able to make a career out of it, in which case you want to learn all the new things."
"If you're above the age of 35, it's unholy and evil, and will surely overturn all existing structures and destroy society."
"I think 18-year-olds right now, I mean, it's prime time to grab these new capabilities and run with them. It's gonna be creation of entirely new fields of entrepreneurship and creativity and art and everything."
"The schools are banning AI or having all these controversies with it. But of course, if you're a kid, that just makes it cooler... AI is your like secret superpower that you have to like deviously figure out how to take advantage of."

As SI takes off we are going to see:
-fully autonomous persistent SIs surviving on the internet and paying crypto rent to their "compute lord" hosts
-truly personalized superintelligence that is an extension of our cognition and agency
Desde que existe el capitalismo se ha reducido la pobreza extrema en todo el mundo. Si aún hay pobreza es por ausencia de capitalismo, de mercado libre, de Estado de Derecho.
Si impides mítines de otros partidos que concurren a las elecciones.
Impides charlas en la universidad de personas que no piensan como tú.
Lanzas piedras y destrozas comercios.
Ocupas un espacio que es de todos durante semanas
A lo mejor el fascista eres TÚ.
