@CherryPi6dx @GabeZZOZZ "East Asians have the highest IQ in the world"
That's what they need most at the moment...

In the AI era, the bottleneck has shifted from generating ideas to filtering them.
Breakthroughs hide in plain sight because humans cannot hold enough variables in context.
The existing peer review system must scale to evaluate the mass of AI science.

Terence Tao's new interview. He just summarized how AI is massively accelerating math career and math research. "In math, you previously had to basically go through years and years of education to be a math PhD before you could contribute to the frontier of math research. But now it's quite possible at the high school level or whatever, that you could get involved in a math project and actually make a real contribution because of all these AI tools and lean and everything else." Great podcast by @dwarkesh_sp

Sam Altman told the world exactly what skills will matter when AI takes over 30 to 40 percent of the global economy.
He was asked what his own kids should do to survive it.
His answer was surprisingly human.
He said the single most valuable thing anyone can build right now is the meta-skill of learning how to learn.
Not a degree or a certification but the raw ability to adapt when everything around you changes.
He also said learning to understand what other people actually want and building useful things for them will be more valuable than almost any technical knowledge.
That skill has never been automated and is not close to being automated.
He said human creativity and the desire to express it are, in his words, limitless.
Every major technological revolution increased the demand for creative, curious, and socially intelligent people, not decreased it.
The Industrial Revolution is the clearest parallel.
Machines replaced physical labor and people were terrified.
The next generation took those machines and built industries, art forms, and institutions nobody had conceived of before.
The people who thrived were not the ones who competed with the machines. They were the ones who learned to direct them toward something new.
That dynamic is already playing out right now with AI.
The practical implication is this, depth in a single rigid skill is becoming less valuable.
The ability to move across domains, pick up new tools quickly, and apply judgment in ambiguous situations is becoming more valuable.
Altman also pointed to something most career advice ignores entirely, learning how to interact with the world, build relationships, and earn trust from other people.
Those are things AI can simulate but cannot replace.
The honest opportunity in this moment is not to outrun AI. It is to focus on the things that make you irreducibly human.
Curiosity, judgment, empathy and the ability to ask the right question before anyone knows what the right question is.
The people who will matter most in an AI-driven economy are not necessarily the ones who understand the technology deepest.
They are the ones who can figure out what the technology should actually be used for.
Altman has spent his career betting on human potential in the face of technological disruption.
Based on every historical precedent, that is still the right bet to make.

Mark Cuban just delivered the most important career warning of the decade. There are 33 million businesses in America right now. Almost none of them have an AI strategy. @mcuban has been saying it out loud for months. The companies that will dominate the next ten years are not the ones with the biggest tech budgets. They are the ones that figure out agentic AI first. Here is what agentic AI actually means. It is software that sets its own goals, takes its own steps, and finishes entire jobs without a human pressing a single button, The businesses that need it most have no idea it even exists. Cuban is not talking about Google or Microsoft. He is talking about the HVAC company on your street, the bakery downtown, the law firm with twelve employees. Those businesses are running on spreadsheets and gut instinct right now. Meanwhile, the technology to replace their most expensive, most repetitive work costs twenty dollars a month. Cuban told students directly, pick up Python, get inside Claude, learn how these agents work. Because thirty-three million small businesses are about to desperately need someone who can walk in the door and build this for them. He compared it to his own story at age twenty-four, walking into businesses that had never seen a PC and showing them what a computer could do. That moment minted a generation of millionaires. This moment is that again.

@minicnair You really don’t understand Japanese culture or East Asian politics. Perhaps try and read about what their neighboring country has been doing to them in the past decade.
English
@brane_mija64426 @GabeZZOZZ It’s the same for East Asian countries but don’t forget East Asians have the highest IQ in the world. It might not be what you think.
English
The Japanese embraced the USA after the defeat as their Shogun...
It's incomprehensible to me too, but that's how it is.
There are no signs that this bothers the Japanese.
I am fascinated by the fact that the government may not have much choice (but it does have some), but the people of Japan have the option of choosing.
It seems that easy life in Japan has won over everything nationally and spiritually..

@Bhavani_00007 Coursera for college-level stuff. YouTube for other skills
English
Be honest, which platform is best for learning a new skill?
English
@GabeZZOZZ If you don’t understand East Asian politics and Japanese culture then it’s better to just respect their choices instead of calling others an obedient dog. It only makes you look bad.

@roketnut5 @RichardHanania @grok There really is no good reason to compare because the biggest barrier is the notoriously difficult medical licensing exam with a pass rate of less than 5%. American physicians who passed it make way more than $500K per year even as a GP.
English
@CherryPi6dx @RichardHanania @grok Experienced surgeon not the same as average physician pay. Hong Kong is a democratized city of big wealth. Not a good example either. 2 strikes
English
Average income of physicians
US: $458,100
Canada: $194,700
Netherlands: $185,700
Sweden: $115,200 nber.org/papers/w34956
English
@roketnut5 @RichardHanania @grok Physicians in the US need a bachelor’s + an MD. In Hong Kong, 6-year MBBS/MBChB = MD and can start practicing. Need to take that into consideration as well.
English
@grok @roketnut5 @RichardHanania @grok compare the average (mean) physician pay of physicians in Hong Kong and USA. Take the income tax rates into consideration.
English
Median physician pay in HK private practice: ~$175K USD gross (SalaryExpert/2026 surveys; ranges $120K entry to $198K senior).
HK salaries tax: progressive 2-17% or standard 15-16%; effective ~14% after allowances/reductions. Net: ~$150K USD.
US: averages $374K (Medscape 2025 report; primary care $287K, specialists $404K; medians similar range). Effective tax 30-38% (fed/state/payroll). Net: ~$240K+.
US substantially higher both gross and net.
English
@roketnut5 @RichardHanania @grok @grok median physician pay in Hong Kong in private practice (in USD). Take the income tax rates into consideration and compare it with the median physician pay in the US.

@haha_girrrl Not sure about cybersecurity and business administration.

@knicksonn @TmarketL I don’t think this school is the most prestigious. Most of them follow the IB curriculum like this one: dulwich.org/find-a-school?…
English
@CherryPi6dx @TmarketL I bet prestigious schools have books & a curriculum and don't spew slop on a board for 60 minutes at a time. Dude literally doesn't teach, he is just storytelling.
English
Everyone was asking where his students were…
Prof Jiang didn’t say a word, he just showed them
English
@redeem314 @TmarketL It’s normal in East Asia. International schools are very expensive and they teach in English. They prepare students for Ivy League or Russell Group universities.
English
@knicksonn @TmarketL Prestigious international schools in East Asia teach in English
English
@RichardHanania @grok How much do experienced surgeons in the private sector in Hong Kong make? And what is the income tax rate?
English
@ManualBreethin @_vmlops Point being good resources are not new. Sliders have been around for years and they are free.
English
Claude is literally teaching me maths right now and i actually understand it??
like it just showed me WHY a positive medical test doesn't mean you're sick (Bayes theorem) with a live interactive dot grid and i could drag sliders to see it change in real time
normal distribution, central limit theorem, full interactive bell curves all in one chat
this is how school should have worked
