a meta story

Ok X, I want to express my current intent. I’d like to get into gold crafting. Extra small works of art but as beautiful as this sunset I just caught.

⏯️Kendra floated in the water in relief. The hole in the doom was now sealed. “You little octoalien babies, sure are trouble, just like Gerald said,” Kendra scolded them. She swam out of the nursery & down the dome hall. She needed to find Gerald and the dolphin pod asap.

⏯️ As the nursery flooded she realized the blue octoalien baby was floating in an inflated elephant swimmie, holding a rope to exit. Kendra rushed to grab the rope, too, but the blue octoalien stabbed her with a fork. Then birds dropped magic pebbles and sealed the dome!

⏯️ Kendra watched the water pour in through the hole octoalien babies had caused in the dome roof. Kendra backed out of the flooding nursery wondering if she had time to get to the golden elevator or should she try to swim out the gushing hole?

I used to defend college and university. I went to one. I taught at one. But I can't keep pretending the math still works for most people. Commoditized degrees. Skills that AI can (or will) replace. Six figures of debt before earning. Self-education with AI and mentorship will get most people further in a fraction of the time and cost. I'm not anti-education. I genuinely love education. I just can't ignore the risk anymore. And I don't think you can either.

@r0ck3t23 Yes but the thing is Microsoft standardized us. One thing was picked then a universal sprang from it and innovation really sprang up. The bottleneck of ai is that it’s inherently chaotic and allows everyone do their own way and in that lies a problem nobody addresses.

Andrej Karpathy just described something most people are not psychologically ready to hear. The man who built the AI team at Tesla and helped shape OpenAI from the inside, just sat down on a podcast and told every researcher listening that they are building their own replacement. And they already know it. Karpathy: “You guys realize if we’re successful, we’re all out of a job?” That was not a joke. That was not a thought experiment. He walked the halls at OpenAI and said it directly. The response was not disagreement. It was silence. Because they can see it working. But here is the part almost everyone is getting wrong. The short-term picture is the complete opposite of what people expect. Software demand is not about to collapse. It is about to spike harder than any point in the history of computing. Karpathy: “Code is now ephemeral and it can change and it can be modified.” For fifty years every business on the planet was trapped inside whatever software they could afford to buy. You subscribed to tools built for someone else. You adapted your workflow to fit their product. You lived with the friction because rewriting it from scratch would cost more than your entire department. That constraint just evaporated. When AI can rewrite code instantly and endlessly the entire digital layer of the global economy is about to get torn apart and rebuilt from the ground up. Not upgraded. Not patched. Rebuilt. Every company on Earth suddenly has the ability to generate software that fits their exact needs in real time. That is not less demand for software. That is an explosion of demand so massive most people have not even begun to process the scale. And then the long-term hits. Karpathy: “These researchers are basically automating themselves away, like actively.” These are not factory workers watching a robot take over the assembly line. These are the most elite engineering minds alive building a system that will do their job better than they can. And they feel it. The interviewer called it a psychosis and Karpathy did not push back on the word. Because that is exactly what it is. Imagine going to work every day knowing that every breakthrough you achieve brings you one step closer to making yourself unnecessary. That every improvement you ship teaches the machine to need you a little less. That is the psychological reality inside every major AI lab on Earth right now. And if the people building the thing know they are on borrowed time there is no protected class. Not lawyers. Not analysts. Not engineers. Not researchers. Nobody gets to sit this one out. Karpathy: “We’re just building automation for Sam or something like that. Or the board.” That line landed quiet but it is the most important thing he said. The AI does not work for the engineer who built it. It works for whoever sits at the top of the organization. When the entire R&D pipeline can be automated the thousand-person research lab compresses down to a founder and a fleet of agents. The middle layer does not get restructured. It gets deleted. The people building these systems understand that better than anyone. And they are building them anyway. Because if they do not someone else will. And then they are out with nothing to show for it. That is the trap nobody talks about. The smartest people in the world are locked in a race where winning and losing both end the same way for them personally. Karpathy did not speculate about some distant future on that podcast. He told you what is already happening inside the buildings where this technology gets made. The short-term boom is real. The long-term displacement is real. And the people closest to the fire are the ones getting burned first.

I’m old. I’ve lived through these oil wars before. I don’t look forward to the implications. I know everyone’s oil,oil. It is in drugs, bottles, & in the machines that build & transport. It’s gonna be dramatic. But it’s spring - the fertilizer. People will starve soon.

I’m using X like a journal diary talking to my self. Im blending my old identity with my more authentic identity I found last few years… all while the world turns and twist. It’s a messy diary, my apologies. I’m curating me.

Taking tech change in slowly has made me happy. I’m defiant to all the people that jump on a bandwagon & try to chastise the slow. They have an agenda. I’m interested in finding my own path. I miss some success. I admit it but I flourish in my own time.

Now is a time of great divide. The question is accepting ai and all its implementations, or rejecting it. I’m always tech leery, if for no other reason than I love my five senses and it’s 1d. I am happy without it & resent the change. I take it in me in my own time

@djcows In that it’s reduced the role of the human and duplicated it, sure. I think it’s exactly the tool that inhumane people at the top will cartel together to use against the have nots. It’s likely best ti say it has some abilities to equalize with same abilities to monopolize.

AI is the greatest equalizing force in history

@WaterRabbitt @vegastarr I have years of schooling. I love learning. Most school before university was a waste of my time. It was teaching cogism and that’s outside my range. So the whole of pre-university was rough for me. I like academics but I’m realistic that most of its philosophies of elites.

@smashsharp @vegastarr It’s fair to debate what was taught, but reducing education to ‘elite academics’ misses the point. Critical thinking and self‑sufficiency aren’t automatic—they’re skills built over time, shaped by family, community and experience, not just school.

12 Years Of School 🎓 And They Never Taught You How The Real World Works. Not One Class On Taxes. Building Wealth. Starting A Business. Negotiating Salary. Managing Money. Nothing That Would Truly Help You Survive Let Alone Thrive.

I’ve got the mortar & pestle out. I suggest it for anyone seeking a soothing activity. It’s pleasing to watch the different parts come together to make one medicine. And it smells nice. This one is for doggo.

@lilyally98 It’s an interesting point - morals give a refinement that shows in look, a pride maybe. But, out of curiosity, have you ever found something that you know everyone finds ugly but it’s beautiful to you?

Beauty is morally salient. If you believe these two are morally equal, then you are more disordered than Satan himself.

Saying I have a fragile ego as they bust out the block button. That’s right around the time, I know I have a hater. I preach self-sufficiency and question people who de-humanize others. Yep, that’s how I get blocked. Truth is many hate me for it. Is what it is. 😂

@Silvermoon_888 Oh this cute. 🥰 You just labeled me a psychopath for asking you to stop de-humanizing other humans. Im having fun now. Vroom vroom.

This psychopath got triggered by me saying that that AI is soulless, like a psychopath. My gawd stay off the internet fragile ego.

@Silvermoon_888 @NoahKingJr You seem bored, angry and the type to want to pin labels on others so you can declare them bad and scapegoat all your self-hatred on de-humanize them. Nice to meet you, I’m Ma Pen and it’s best you not pretend you know me. Thx.

@smashsharp @NoahKingJr Identifying a psychopath isn't inhumane. You seem offeneded/angry and seem like the type of person that blames your own disgusting behaviour on other people. ie. a psychopath. So glad that offended you.

If AI can create anything, what’s left that only humans can do?

@sadhavi The ancient sages and yogis were taken care of by their small tribes and small community. Large communities do not take care of their sages, I say that’s how they got here, fending for themselves, hoping people buy.

Spirituality was never meant to be sold. The ancient sages, yogis and Rishis who discovered this practice, the inner science of soul never sold it because they knew the moment spirituality becomes organized, truth disappears. Because, truth can’t be sold. But today, it’s one of the biggest industries in the world. And here’s the irony- both, India & West are equally responsible for it.

@WaterRabbitt @vegastarr The shared knowledge was not about how to start a bank account. The shared knowledge you speak of is academics, which made one suited to walk among the elite. Yes, that was part of the day, the other part cogism and society cogism. Critical thinking, self-sufficiency- nill.

@smashsharp @vegastarr School was never a monastic forge for perfect workers. It taught shared knowledge, not lifelong employability. If employers now automate people out of relevance, the curriculum isn’t the failure — the economic model is. Self‑sufficiency is a societal task, not a syllabus tweak.

@goodyhilton I’ll assume you were being funny because that is some complicated self-flagellation 😄

@smashsharp Ok

As a poet you should have no hoes and never have sex and the woman you love should be waylaid in another country for an indiscriminate amount of time
