@robertwiblin It would be a true honor to be turned into a paperclip by either DARPA SkyNet or an open source project gone awry but anything else would be deeply offensive

Incredibly generous for NJ and Jersey City to build so much housing, only for the income tax revenue to be vacuumed up by New York...

What’s stopping Zuck from spending up to $2B to buy C3.ai (current mcap $1.1B) and change the name (and the ticker) of his company from Meta to AI?

... but also I could download a sota open source model and run it on a laptop and it would be not too bad?

I wish someone had come up with a solution... "BlackRock Inc. Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink warned that the artificial intelligence boom threatens to make wealthy companies and investors even richer while exacerbating inequality, unless more individuals can share in the market gains." "The head of the world’s largest money manager wrote that while AI will disrupt the labor market — creating new jobs while displacing many other workers — the technology “will create significant economic value.” Encouraging individuals to invest for the long-term alongside that probable growth “is both the challenge and the opportunity,” he said. “Too many are left out,” said Fink, whose firm manages more than $14 trillion in client money. “When market capitalization rises but ownership remains narrow, prosperity can feel increasingly distant to those on the outside. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@1llegalEngineer Ah but you forget that health insurance is tied to jobs. That's really the issue for me. I don't think you blame anyone for wanting to avoid the financial and admin shock and slog associated (although I suppose COBRA could buy you a little time)

I believe job security is something for those that do not excel at their job I don't care if I get fired because I know I can easily find a new job everywhere. Exception being 40+ and having kids etc there I do get it But when I hear fellows my age (early 20s) talking about job security I always know they are at most mediocre

man i'm so bearish on the medical profession. like almost every doctor i've been to in the past year will either say things that contradict published medical literature or have somewhat alarming gaps in knowledge

the best solution to AI-induced loss of meaning is the creation of a new frontier as a "safety valve" this is probably following and pushing scientific advancement for those so inclined, or perhaps space travel and colonization more generally

@shakoistsLog I continue to believe the ideal system is rightist local governments and leftist national government Leftism on a local scale is really burdensome and corrupt but national conservatism is just heartless

@TheStalwart The only hope is revolutionary advances in medicine, honestly. However, that's most certainty enough, given that we all die

@JacobAShell Yes. Everyone here is laser focused on consumption. Everyone over there is laser focused on production. SF and tech will swallow everything as AI advances

Yeah I can't disagree with this. What is NYC producing? Other than finance, all the key industries there (publishing, arts) have struggled to shape the wider culture of the 2010s-20s like NYC's industries did during the 20th century.
The Mind Scourge@TheMindScourge

I think you can make a case that SF/Silicon Valley is America’s first city. NYC is a much better city as a city; arguably America’s only “real” city. But SF is more important today in terms of its significance, and that has been true for 20 years now, whereas NYC is (relatively) in decline. What, for example. is the last big idea out of NYC? For SF/Silicon Valley this is easy, you can make a whole list of them. But for NYC it’s harder. The city is more a consumption experience now. Same with Los Angeles. The core industry Hollywood is in serious trouble and appears liable to being colonized by SF at this point. LA is extremely livable and has the best “vibes” and weather of any city in the US in my opinion, but again, what’s the last big idea out of LA that you can think of? Like New York, LA is eating the seed corn a bit at this point I love Chicago, it will always be the quintessential “big city” to me because it was the one I visited more than any other as kid growing up in downstate Illinois, but it’s more the past than the future. America’s second city I think is either Miami or Houston or Phoenix or Atlanta. These are the places where the new US civilization is rising most quickly, and which define the US better today than any others
