When jobs get automated through technology, the displacement causes upheaval, but eventually most of the affected people move to other areas of employment. If you automate people, then there is no other work. In the future, new jobs we can't yet imagine will be created, but AI will be able to do those jobs better than any human can retrain. There is a fundamental difference with this change that we are not talking about enough; we are attempting to replace intelligence. That encapsulates logic, planning, learning, reasoning, the whole human gambit. We are attempting to create something which is on par with humans at a cognitive level and eventually surpasses it. This isn't so much a new technology but an attempt to create our general ability as humans. From a job's perspective, AI won't just replace certain jobs; it will replace humans themselves. History is littered with examples of inflection points where we fall into these new paradigm shifts rather than plan towards them, which usually ends up causing extreme hardship for the majority. We can't afford to wait until time horizons narrow enough that actions are reactive, but instead, we need to be proactive now.

It is important to delineate between games of skill and games of chance It is universally agreed that trading in public markets - commodities, equities, fx, etc - is a game of skill. Many firms have structural alpha. You can play the game in an EV positive way It is also universally recognized that pulling the lever on a slot machine, craps, blackjack, etc is not a game of skill. It is strictly a game of chance, and it is known to be EV negative Wagering on sports is far more like trading public markets than gambling at the casino. There is immense and heterogenous publicly available data that can be analyzed and used to develop systematic trading strategies Wagering on sports is a game of skill, not a game of chance

Jesus, did you just lose that argument and descend into abuse all by yourself? It's all about effects at the margin. LLM AI's advantages are marginal, but the marginal cost of provision in real resources are very large. So why do it? Because you can run a Ponzi scheme through the hype and expense. Shame you don't know much about finance, really. That's the required expertise here.

@Muinchille The idiotic hubris of people with no technical knowledge of AI but with certainty in direction is stunning.

@luke_metro You get this because even if it creates a few jobs the majority of benefit will go to a tiny few. People are sick of it. You need to show them a new model of shared prosperity.

The narrative for AI x manufacturing really needs to be that almost all the American jobs have already been shipped overseas so we’re replacing Chinese workers with American robots+technicians Otherwise we get … this
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

@dieworkwear @matthewstoller @SohrabAhmari It might not create jobs, but it does create profits. The issue is not reshoring the work itself. The issue is that the system is broken when it comes to who captures the bulk of those profits.

The idea that people should take personal insurance on based on prediction markets seem insane. These things might be common on this platform but out in the real world people hedging their labour against demand collapse is completely alien. Your phrasing seems like distain in regard capital taxation. Good read - scimitar.capital/p/state-of-the…

It is an extremely complex issue, further complicated by the fact that the current US regime treats any large scale public solution as if it were a gateway drug to Marxist ruin. Many people will ignore the below piece because of the author but I think it has the bones of some really good ideas. Some of them aren't too dissimilar in nature to what you mention. x.com/JustAnAlgorith…

‘There’s something missing from Ireland’s debates on foreign policy: our interests’ I agree wholeheartedly with @PatLeahyIT’s analysis. “So Martin will tread carefully through the Washington minefield, seeking to ensure Trump understands that Ireland is a friend, while reserving the right to differ on some issues. That will be difficult to execute, & unpopular in some quarters. But it is probably what is required of anyone who sits in the office of the taoiseach.” irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

@cryptopunk7213 @tferriss How does that make it undervalued. If we already have systems that are this capable. Those tasks can be done by OS models when they catch up. Frontier models won't capture that value for long?

@tferriss undervalued. the technology’s already good enough to “replace” a high % of tasks right now but the tech hasn’t diffused yet (eg legal contract law, healthcare admin, back office tasks). lots of red tape, compliance standing in the way of adoption.

Do you think that OpenAI, Anthropic, and other foundation model companies are undervalued or overvalued? What's your rationale?

A fucking idiot and court perjurer wrote a thick-as-shit rage-bait column about our President. Dozens of well meaning useful idiots shared it to disagree with it; thus ensuring that the lying perjurer and the outlet are rewarded for their fucking idiocy. Great work all.
