@TrickVAL What are the power ball numbers?

I am so sorry what the actual fuck

@joeyhofmeister1 @AIHighlight No they don’t

@AIHighlight What's likely being missed is that laid off workers likely learn how to use AI to optimize their productivity and then go get a job somewhere else or build their own thing.

🚨BREAKING: Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper that should be uncomfortable reading for every CEO automating their workforce right now. The argument is straightforward. Every company replacing workers with AI is also eliminating its own future customers. Laid off workers stop spending. Enough of them stop spending and nobody can afford to buy anything. The companies that fired everyone end up selling into an economy with no purchasing power left. Every executive can see this. The math is not complicated. But here is why nobody stops. If you do not automate, your competitor does. They cut costs, lower prices, take your market share, and you collapse anyway. So every company automates knowing it is collectively destructive because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives. The researchers proved this is a Prisoner's Dilemma playing out in real time. The numbers are already moving. Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year. Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that within the next year the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion. Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI. Goldman Sachs deployed a coding tool that lets one engineer do the work of five. Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 and AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half those cases. 80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income does not change a single company's incentive to automate. Capital income taxes adjust profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human. Collective bargaining cannot hold because automating is always the dominant strategy. They also identified what they call a Red Queen effect. Better AI does not solve the problem, it accelerates it. Every company chases faster automation to gain market share over rivals but at the end everyone has automated equally, the gains cancel out, and the only thing left is more destroyed demand. The one thing the math says could work is a Pigouvian automation tax. A per-task charge that forces companies to account for the demand they destroy each time they replace a worker. The conclusion is that this is not a transfer of wealth from workers to owners. Both sides lose. Workers lose income. Companies lose customers. It is a deadweight loss with no market mechanism to stop it on its own.

@AIHighlight We need a research paper to let CEO’s know people need money to buy things

@AppalachianFit @TimmyFacciola_ so? It’s a house it should be for someone to live in not a stock

@Wizardking42 @TimmyFacciola_ And you will get less money, and the valuation will eventually come down as a result.

The whole point of this tax is that it’s on people who already don’t live in New York

@LordSturmVII @ChiefTeef8 It’s all the same shit about how they can’t get over elementary school

@Wizardking42 @ChiefTeef8 You know their argument is good when you have to pretend it's a different one to engage with it because you can't dispute anything that was actually said.

The spin off tweets of fake lore conservatives are making up about themselves as young geniuses the woke school system couldn't contain is hilarious

They were right to keep it in

@unvarnishedvoid @halogen1048576 @KarolusWangus He blocked me because I pointed out that for all his supposed “genius” he hasn’t done shit in his life

@Wizardking42 @halogen1048576 @KarolusWangus each time he posts it gets more pathetic 😭

This meme explains like 75% of right wing politics btw.

@halogen1048576 @unvarnishedvoid @KarolusWangus Like you can’t even tell the difference between a teacher trying to hype you up and your actual ability and you clearly haven’t done anything important with your life or anything so it all just sad

@halogen1048576 @unvarnishedvoid @KarolusWangus You peaked in elementary school dude

@AppalachianFit @TimmyFacciola_ Then someone who lives in the city can buy them

@TimmyFacciola_ Then you won't be upset when they sell their homes and take their resources elsewhere.

@KolberWolfgang @FredSBurrows @A_man_of_words @drmistercody No it’s about guys who cant get over some mini stuff from when they were kids and turned that into their entire philosophy

@Wizardking42 @FredSBurrows @A_man_of_words @drmistercody This is a discussion *about* this stuff dude. If you look through my replies you won't see single other place I've mentioned this stuff. That's not not getting over it, that's mentioning personal anecdotes that are relevant.

Thousands of responses to this are just, "Um yeah she made me show my work because she's evil."

@SariegoAlonso @SPQR_Austin @JoeLongBalls Or someone was being polite and they turned it around not their entire personality

@SPQR_Austin @JoeLongBalls I can asure you the vast majority of these "too smart for my teachers" guys are lying

ohhh I get it, this is the other side of the "burnt out gifted kid" coin. okay yeah that sucks you got scolded for reading ahead one time but you're like 30 now, you can't keep hanging on to that you've had like a decade to realize that none of that mattered

@GulagInmate5790 @JoeLongBalls “I keep touching the stove while it’s hot and getting burnt, this is the stove’s fault”

@JoeLongBalls "one time" It wasn't one time. It was consistent, year after year, teacher after teacher.

@Entity__4 @JoeLongBalls @LimeOvrPortland

@JoeLongBalls @LimeOvrPortland you are what's wrong with humanity and I would do unspeakable things to people who think like you.

@JoeLongBalls @Comrade_Waluigi “I didn’t do my assignment properly and was punished” ok man get over it

@KolberWolfgang @FredSBurrows @A_man_of_words @drmistercody Sure kids shouldn’t be shamed like that. But also get over it your fucking grown get a real problem

@Wizardking42 @FredSBurrows @A_man_of_words @drmistercody If you disagree with that, then you're either allowing the larger argument to cloud your judgement and morality or you have a flawed idea of how children should be treated.

@halogen1048576 @unvarnishedvoid @KarolusWangus Sure buddy I’m sure that’s what they told you

@Wizardking42 @unvarnishedvoid @KarolusWangus I scared the shit out of my first grade teachers because I would discuss things at adult level

@KolberWolfgang @FredSBurrows @A_man_of_words @drmistercody If it’s part of the assignment then it’s part of the assignment. To some degree it’s to teach you to operate within certain parameters and failing to meet those has consequences. Your mad that a choice you made had negative consequences get over it

@Wizardking42 @FredSBurrows @A_man_of_words @drmistercody I can acknowledge the un-American English, but why should a kid get punished and berated for not colouring in a picture? And, following off of that, why should that not be a valid thing to complain about and say should be improved now that that kid is older?

@KolberWolfgang @FredSBurrows @A_man_of_words @drmistercody “I didn’t fulfill the requirements of the assignments and was punished this is the teachers fault”

@FredSBurrows @A_man_of_words @drmistercody Sorry man, I was one of the good kids that did show work. Main thing they got me for was writing in un-American English, not writing enough notes, and not colouring in my pictures.
