on Amazon I have discovered a book called "Infinite Jeffs" which is apparently a copy of Infinite Jest where each word has been replaced with the word "Jeff"

Most people I know in AI think the median person is screwed, and they have no idea what to do about it.

I spent the last 3 months talking to dozens of researchers, economists, and policy experts about AI's impact on work; including reps from every frontier lab and several Congressional offices. Unfortunately, I was not reassured.

The AI industry is raising the alarm, but can't change course. These companies' core business model relies on the disruption they are warning about: their faith in full automation only makes them go faster.

Policymakers are waking up, but still paralyzed by data and debates. Econ wonks disagree on plenty, but even the limited scenario looks like a "painful transition" that will disempower millions of workers.

But an "underclass" is not inevitable, but rather a societal choice — and one we can and should stop. Instead of waiting for impact, we should start planning now to support workers through AI disruption. Whether policymakers can assuage concerns about economic security may determine if we get to reap AI's gains at all.

New from me for @NYTOpinion. I put a ton into researching what I think may be the biggest topic of the year, so hope you read it (gift link here!) https://t.co/NiGJpjyjzH

Between Anthropic hiring a video director for $250k, and WSJ announcing that their video team is now 65 people, I think it's a really good time for young people to learn how to shoot and edit video.

Tech companies and legacy media companies are investing in GOOD video teams

everyone is a developer now

my feeling is the job of ‘creator’ which previously meant youtuber or the like will expand greatly

careers will be hugely different in the next ten years

Everyone has a health story. The late-night searches. The trial and error. The fear you might never get better.

The hardest part isn’t the symptoms.

It’s feeling like you’re in it alone.

@radbrowndads let us know if we should send a rescue crew - or at least a fruit basket

[Tim Shey @moth]

@ischafer @TaylorLorenz we should go back in time and kill the internet.

@VickiStClair @duolingo Thanks so much - looking into this!

@VickiStClair @duolingo Thanks so much. Are you on android or iOS?

[Tim Shey @moth]

@dens I had a good friend as a young kid on Long Island really into this. I don’t know if this still exists but i remember visiting whole stores filled with these cars, and places you could go with elaborate indoor tracks to race them.

@VickiStClair @duolingo Hi Vicki - congrats on your streak! Stories are still there. You should be able to find them all in your Practice tab (the barbell) – please let us know if you can't!
