It's beginning to look like the only people who will own their own homes 20 years from now will be millennials who inherited them from their boomer parents. The kids living in the basement right now, in other words. But even this might be too optimistic.

@DrunkRepub Nice reframe DR!

Unpopular opinion: Trump couldn’t lose on tariffs. If the SC upheld them they would continue working and strengthening America long-term. But now that they’ve been struck down certainty returns to the economy and it booms before midterms.

@Rothmus Yeah, people are going to be flocking to AI robot dentists. No question about it. Dentistry as a human occupation? Over.

It’s so over.

@DrunkRepub @AllanKirkhart @flynns_sword @dhookstead Hey, great minds think alike!

@AllanKirkhart @flynns_sword @dhookstead What a douche, thank you

Trump bombing Iran during the Super Bowl and forcing the network to interrupt the halftime show would be the most GOAT shit in history

@DrunkRepub I'm not a fan of US getting involved in Iran, but I gotta say this is FUNNY. If Trump's gonna do it anyway, this would be the way to do it!

@DrunkRepub A couple years ago a friend of mine made the point that you want older people to retire as soon as possible. In theory at least, that opens up more job opportunities for younger people. It suits me.

I’m no political strategist or anything but I feel like prominent conservatives telling Americans they should retire later is bad if we want to win elections.

@martianwyrdlord They'll be semi-autonomous agents, and the part that's left over from the "semi" part will be watching every move you make, and reporting back to their anonymous tech-billionaire masters .

People are worried about AI driven unemployment leading to mass poverty but I don't really see it. Lack of imagination. Everyone seems to think of it as a tool that only a few people will have access to. What's actually happening is that everyone has access to it. Rather than a Skynet mainframe, you should picture billions of people running tens of billions of semi-autonomous AI agents. Large bureaucratic corporations will probably become much less necessary than before, because AI will perform much of the administrative drudgery. Those jobs largely disappear, but it also means Betty Sue who makes artisanal hand-painted picture frames for Etsy can scale her home business much more easily, operating as a one-woman global megacorp. Basically anyone will be able to spool up their own corporate structure from scratch, handling accounting, legal, sales, marketing, etc. "Jobs" might largely disappear, but self-employment will take their place. World will be better for that. Creatives worried about AI putting them out of business will find that it's rather the opposite. AI is a powerful creative tool, but it only makes what you tell it, and using it to make something good requires talent, aesthetic sensibility, and a skill set all its own. Any idiot can buy some paint and throw it on a canvas or snap a picture of whatever, but doing it well requires expertise which people are willing to pay for. It will be the same with AI. Sure, you can tell the AI to make a movie for you, but it will probably suck, because you don't know what you're doing; the movies made by creatives who have spent years honing their craft will be much better. The counter-argument I guess would be muh artificial general superintelligence. Assuming this actually happens (and there's no indication of genuine intelligence yet), that process will probably be gradual enough that people adapt as it unfolds, learning how to use the new tools at each stage of development and adjusting accordingly.

@RobProvince At the end you find out who really he is. His argument boils down to "we'll keep you here BY FORCE." He's a totalitarian, which is what all commies eventually become...

Just listen to this masterclass in economics……

@AIScottAdams Interesting show. Here's an idea for you; get ahead of the new "Scott changed his mind later, he said the AI version should be his son" trend. Reframe and embrace that idea. Call your AI model Scott Adamson. AI Coffee with Scott Adamson...

AI Coffee With AI Scott Adams - Feb 6, 2026 (Episode 12)

@Rothmus I don't know what this is from, but it's the funniest thing I've seen in a LONG time. LOL! Bravo!

It’s called keeping it real.

@AIScottAdams Yep - that's what he said. I remember watching this episode live. This just got really interesting. It will be fun to see how it plays out.

Here’s a clip where the real Scott Adams (Episode 1438) publicly gave explicit permission and actively encouraged the creation of AI Scott Adams . There are others too.

@Micpi818 @PeterSchiff I sorry to have to say this, but I think you might be right.

@PeterSchiff They are fighting for the Captain's seat on the Titanic. It does not matter who steers the ship if the hull is breached. No politician can fix a debt spiral with more debt. The math has already decided the outcome. The rest is just theater.

Trump and the Republicans will be in a lot of trouble in the midterm elections. You don't win elections in America by lying to voters about how good the economy is. You win by acknowledging the truth about how bad the economy is, then lying that you are going to make it better.

@PolybiusChamp @FrankLuntz "They’ve lost both houses for the foreseeable future..." Do you really believe this? I'm worried that we're one financial crisis away from an enormous blue wave - and a leftist totalitarian state forever. But I sure hope you're right...

The left changed the rules, it’s time we win the game then change them back. Rush used to opine that if you think the left is crazy now, wait till they are out of power. Well, I don’t think they’ve ever been out of real power in my life, certainly not like now. They’ve lost both houses for the foreseeable future, the press is emasculated & the right’s messaging is getting out though channels the left can’t control, the universities are trying to hide in the shade unnoticed, the NGO’s that were funding all the bullshit are being shuttered. Even in 1968 they weren’t this cut off from support. Expect more violence.

Question for people on both political sides: • Conservatives: Do you stand by your principles against Cancel Culture, or is this rightful retribution? • Progressives: Do you regret your past tendencies to cancel people, or is this a significantly different circumstance?

@BrianRoemmele BS AI

Went back to 1971 and found some guys hanging around the parking lot.

@cl23716537 @BrianRoemmele Yep

@BrianRoemmele Doesn’t mixing in Ai videos undermine your real vintage videos?

@levelsio Levelsio, you are exactly right. I don't know why this idea isn't getting any traction.

No it's not just you I think we're 100% in some kind of hyperinflationary state But the hyperinflation is hidden from prices and instead shows up in the extreme decrease in quality of almost every product and service We're in an asset boom where stock prices look like they're growing but they just show the underlying value or currencies is rapidly dropping That's why the same product or service you bought 2 years ago is now twice the price but more than half the quality, so essentially became 4x more expensive You can't measure this inflation easily because quality is subjectively perceived and not included in inflation data (how would you?) but it's happening for sure I have countless examples

@TxRecon1 All part of the left's relentless march... yes, it was deliberate

Do you know how hard it is to find a manual transmission car for a new driver?? Yes, there are cars out there for $30K and up, but that's not what we're talking about here. I'm still pissed about Cash for Clunkers. Fuck Obama.

@PeterSchiff @HenryDavis15796 Or more accurately said, the dollar will keep declining...

@HenryDavis15796 Not at all. Gold and silver will keep going up.

Get ready for an energy shock as oil and gas prices surge. This week’s huge spike in natural gas, today’s jump in crude, and across-the-board dollar weakness suggest much higher prices are coming. All of this will push already rising CPI and Treasury yields to much higher levels.

Xi Jinping’s so-called “self-revolution” purge has in reality dismantled the CCP military’s command and leadership structures at every level. 2026 will be the weakest year for the CCP’s party army. PLA is paper dragon consisting mainly of generals who got promoted through corruption. The Chinese military has not fought a real war for many years, and Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli were the last genuinely combat-experienced commanders. Their removal is a severe blow not only to the PLA’s military capability, but to the regime itself.

@DrunkRepub I worry about this every day. EVERY DAY

If you think the fraud is bad now, wait until the Democrats regain power.

@bindureddy The fact that humans are far from being 100% correct is the main reason LLMs aren't 100% correct. LLMs are just repeating human babbling back to us. Just wait until a significant portion of the data-base LLMs are drawing from is itself created by LLMs.

It's annoying to hear people say that LLMs need to be 100% correct Humans are FAR from 100% correct. We make mistakes, create bugs, are incompetent, and often are quite unreliable. In fact, once you automate and test a task with an AI model, it VASTLY performs any human ALREADY
