I write about business, technology and history.

1967: Buckminster Fuller predicts the automation economy: infinite wealth, brain work, and humans as “regenerative consumers.”

@signulll i thought it's checking X and only then opening codex or claude

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@ArthurMacwaters @sporadica but the uk is not europe

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@morganlinton @steipete @Teknium strategic competition always creates some conflict

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@signulll yes, education for masses will be cheap. but who wants that their children to be taught by an ai/robot/machine? the cost of tutoring by qualified humans who are teaching how to think critically will be expensive.

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@pcshipp Cloudfare at cost. I am not even checking availability on the two on your list bc it will be gone in a second

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@sporadica the best experience I had was visiting Vatican on the 1st of January during covid. no queue, reasonable prices. I'd love to come back but I'll wait until the next crisis

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@DFendl10 @sporadica and wealthy enough to afford el chalten prices!

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@sporadica or is it because the world is now watching the same tv channel that shows the same picture to everyone

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@paulg Why does it have to be only one form factor? Radio, TV and newspapers, as news technology co-existed together until internet killed them all.

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

where the future of humanity is

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@chamath google or meta didn't kyc me either but 95% of population doesn't need fable-level models anyway. only the best models are capable of advancing the progress of humanity at which point -- like everything else -- they become strategic assets.

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@the2ndfloorguy @banteg pm growth which totally makes sense

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@ElevenLabsDevs OpenClaw handles tools, memory and skills 🥲

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@pmarca Thanks Marc.

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@zarazhangrui Loved it! There is one place where I see a contradiction: "but you're not as unique as you think you are". That's because you are talking about 'unique way of thinking and doing' just before that. I think framing it as "your problem is not as unique" would solve this friction.

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

ai will not take away jobs, but it will take the meaning and people will fight to stay relevant

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]

@levelsio update the agent first and then re-auth. it happens with hermes too btw.

[Sid Arthur @sidarthurch]
