I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think a philosopher is probably in the best position to see why AI can’t do the things they think it will eventually do i.e. consciousness. It’s also extremely far behind what they say it can do. I’ve seen way too much slop & incorrect answers. They have also conceded it won’t be 100 percent reliable. They cannot eliminate the chance that the black box may turn out an incorrect answer.

I’m not opposed to gambling in principle but we’re are rushing into prediction markets and multiplying minds preoccupied with quick easy gains tied to zero creation. That’s the best case scenario—— the worst case is financial ruin.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

@JeremyTate41 @elonmusk Also misses that work was a positive command before the fall. If you want to see population decline accelerate just wait and see what happens when people have no purpose or guiding structure.

People keep saying the future of work is a world where work disappears or becomes optional (@elonmusk says this). But they’re missing something fundamental. Do you know what is real work? Like seriously hard freaking work that isn’t going away? Forming children. Shaping the next generation. There are no shortcuts to that. No hacks. No automation. The work of real education and formation is slow, demanding, and deeply human. It requires presence, attention, sacrifice, and love. And there is no AI’ing your way out of it. The people who think AI will fundamentally disrupt education already don’t understand what education actually is. In many cases, they’re already participating in something that wouldn’t even be recognizable as education to any previous generation. Education is not the transfer of information. It is the formation of the person. It is about teaching young people to love what is true, good, and beautiful. It is about shaping their affections to love righteousness and to hate what is wicked. No machine can do that. Real labor, hard freaking work is required, and if you’re doing it right it’s gonna hurt.

@scottbraddock You have no data on income to support this—-but you’re still saying tens of thousands of kids should remain segregated in this school zones they were born into regardless of their stated desires?

Well, what do you know? *76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers. It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege

I'm yearning to take a backpacking trip. I've slept under the stars at some pretty cool places in Texas - Enchanted Rock, Big Bend, Guadalupe, Hueco Tanks... to name a few. Where in Texas should I explore next? The farther from civilization the better.

.@jamestalarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital. I believe in the power of prayer. I believe prayer changes lives. I believe prayer changes the world. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves. Scripture reminds us that faith without works is dead — the time for thoughts and prayers is over. It's time for us to act.

So now he’s attacking my wife who voted for him three times. Maybe someone told him she’s actually the one who suggested I ask Pam Bondi in person at a dinner when we would get Phase 2 of the Epstein files. Bondi said there were no more files. As they say, the rest is history.

Amazing, Indiana just passed a bill requiring Indiana universities to accept the CLT in the same way as the SAT and ACT!

Not sure where today’s attack on @PatrickDeneen is coming from, but he accurately diagnosed the crisis of liberalism. This is like blaming the oncologist for the cancer. Smearing Deneen is not going to bring back the exhausted pre-Trump status quo.
