Justin Thomas

Thank you for seeing what I see! A huge issue right now is this gap between the two extremes. There ARE people in the middle, we just have to do a better job speaking up. The extremists are typically the ones who like to argue their point, while the middleists like to stay quiet. But I think for this AI revolution, we are going to need fighters for the middle ground. To promote innovation but not at the expense of humans.

Justin; this is the bridge voice we’ve been starving for on X. Finally someone fluent in both the silicon and the soul, nails it!! 🎯 From behavioral neuroscience + ontology + Businesses + Human Development... I see it clearly: AI doesn’t just displace tasks, it risks hollowing out the very presence and meaning that let us truly see one another. Thank you for naming the vacuum with such clarity. ❤️👽💯

@mike_h1990 Same. Lets get after it!

@JustinThomasAI Just thankful to see this new day brother! How about you?

@JustinThomasAI Good morning Justin, how are you doing brother?

@jmdagdelen Reminds me of this news article from a couple of weeks ago. techradar.com/pro/simply-by-…

All of the tech companies laying off thousands of people because they're "re-inventing the way we work through AI" or whatever have no idea what damage they're doing. You think all the people left are just going to earnestly work hard to integrate all the AI stuff so you can replace them later? This is how you guarantee that both your AI transition fails and your team becomes a cynical band of mercenaries who have no shared mission.

@TechyAizen Another large company laying off employees.

@JustinThomasAI Another one coming ?

The AI debate right now is mostly between two groups who aren't really listening to each other. On one side, you have the people pushing for full adoption at maximum speed. The deployment is the point. The jobs displacement is a footnote. The human consequences are something the market will sort out later. On the other side, you have the people focused almost entirely on ethics and psychological impact, who often have legitimate concerns but very little technical fluency to actually shape how this technology gets built and rolled out. What is missing is the middle. The people who genuinely believe AI is going to define the next century, who want to see it deployed widely, but who refuse to pretend that the human side does not matter. The people with technical expertise who are also willing to sit with the harder questions about what this does to workers, families, and the way people understand themselves. Those voices exist, but they are not loud enough yet. The conversation right now is dominated by people with conviction and very little nuance. The middle ground is where the real work happens, and we need a lot more people willing to live there.

@JustinThomasAI 😅😅

@CarolinAramburo It is a beautiful Florida morning!

Do you ever come back home from a getaway and think… why the heck did I leave? 🤣🧐 Home is IT for this ET. Is it for YOU? The real luxury isn’t the destination. It’s loving where we already ARE. ( Most people don’t ) Let’s be here NOW, shall we? ❤️👽 @CarolinAramburo

@JustinThomasAI Step 1: Get excess power Step 2: Channel it to local data center Step 3: Profit

What if your backyard generated passive income by powering AI? That's the bet Span is making. They want to place mini data center nodes at homes, paying homeowners' electric and internet bills in exchange for computing power. Span reports that "the average American home only uses about 40 percent of its electrical capacity." As AI companies seek more power, they are attempting to seize power that is already available. An Nvidia spokesperson said, “The ability to leverage existing locations that have access to power makes a lot of sense. … We believe that we can bring on AI solutions quicker, and it should add to the affordability story.” Big tech gets infrastructure. Homeowners get savings. This is an Interesting model.

What scares me most is the future of our kids. Some will grow up listening to this and believe it. It is not their fault, it is just what their parents told them was true. But as the far left gets further left, and the far right gets further right, our future generations are going to have an incredibly difficult time finding the middle.

And I thought I’d heard all the dumbest takes on the internet already…

@wahab_twts A year ago, I would have told you this is ridiculous. Today, I fully agree. We are advancing at such a rapid pace.

By 2030, robots will be like cars. Different brands. Different jobs. - Tesla Optimus : household helper - Atlas : construction & heavy labor - Sanctuary AI : healthcare & elderly care - John Deere bots : farming - Knightscope : security & patrol Meanwhile, technical jobs are already being replaced by AI. The future is already here. Which one replaces your job first? 👀

@JuliaEMcCoy Those who use it to accelerate productivity, and those who use it as a crutch. The intellectual gap between these two categories is going to become huge.

In 36 months, two types of people will exist: 1.Those who used AI to build leverage, freedom, and wealth. 2.Those who watched. The tools are free. The playbook is public. The window is open. What you do in the next 90 days writes the next 10 years.

@TheSystemsDad Maybe you can tap into the excess power at your house like Nvidia and Span are doing 🤔

@JustinThomasAI Just want my own data center to power my own local model. Is that too much to ask? 🤣

@DerrickEmpowers Let me know!

@JustinThomasAI THIS is the response I was looking for!! All of those places are spots I’ve been researching and looking into. Justine just confirmed today she wants to go visit FL soon. It’s all a matter of when now, not if!

Out here living our best lives in AZ. Lowkey might just have to make this my life every day 🤫 Blessed.

@RyanDeQuiroz I would love to be one of the first to test this, honestly.

@JustinThomasAI This is an incredibly smart move. Very interested to see how testing rollout goes.

@FrontierBDesign Amen to that, brother.

If you work a 9-5 job, good for you. If you own a struggling small business, good for you. If you make $100k/mo. Passively, good for you. There’s far too much shaming of people on this platform. I’m guilty myself. When I worked a 9-5 because I didn’t believe I could do anything on my own, my family was provided for. When I went out on my own the first time and we struggled financially, God provided for us. We’re all trying. Most of us at least. The corporate ladder works great for some people. Entrepreneurship works great for others. There’s not a right path or a wrong path. There’s your path and my path. I’ve felt so much shame over the years because of some of the paths I’ve chosen. There’s freedom in understanding the path we’re on isn’t a cul de sac. There are detours and exits. We get to choose what those are. Be a damn good 9-5 worker. Or be a rockstar entrepreneur. Or maybe just make enough to be happy, provide for a family and make a difference in the world. Choose your path and embrace it.

@CarolinAramburo People’s unwillingness to learn AI is a net benefit for us competitively but a net negative for society as a whole.

@JustinThomasAI Yes competition 'against' those that make the absolute most of their work and leverage with AI, will be a fierce competition. 💯🎯

This is the part of the AI debate I think people are missing. AI displacement may not show up as instant mass layoffs, but as fewer new jobs. Every company only needs a certain level of output from each department. If HR needs 5 people today, and you give everyone AI, maybe it now only takes 3 to do the work of 5. Some companies will instantly cut 2 roles, and you’ll see the “Company X laid off Y% of staff” headlines. Others will just freeze hiring and let attrition do the work. But once they’re stable at 3 HR people, it takes a lot more growth than before to justify hiring a 4th. Multiply that across departments and across companies, and you don’t just get layoffs, but structurally fewer openings. Competition for the remaining jobs will be brutal.

@ForgeWithJeremy Things like Claude Academy exist, but they are very one dimensional towards their specific product. Tinkering with a little bit of everything and asking an immense amount of questions is how I learn.

@JustinThomasAI Genius.

AI skills combined with people skills will be the most lethal competitive edge in the future.
