Journalist Whitney Webb exposes the AI-dominated future planned by unelected technocrats, whereby society ends up divided into an elite and lower class—with the latter losing their ability to think or make decisions for themselves via a process called "cognitive diminishment". "If you stop doing mental math and use a... calculator all the time, it gets harder and harder and harder to do mental math. And the same is true for any skill that you don't practice." "Because of the convenience of AI and how it's been creeping into our lives... it will become harder and harder and harder—and eventually impossible—for people to do certain things, including make decisions for themselves... and essentially that's their vision." "I don't think people are really reading what a lot of these architects of AI policy are thinking and saying. People are just willingly using it because it's convenient, it's easy, but without really thinking about long-term consequences." "Instead of the machine serving you, you end up serving the machine. And I think that's how we get to digital slavery quite fast, if too many people take that path." "And, you know, their vision... is that this will happen on a society level, and that people will become, as they say, cognitively diminished." "That does not sound positive. That does not sound good."show more

Asmongold explained the main problem nowadays: people are taught to fear thinking for themselves because independent thinking can put you against the majority 👀😳 “It's not that people are trained to think institutionally, it's that people are trained not to think independently. Because if you think independently and you independently evaluate things, what you can end up doing is finding yourself on the wrong side of a consensus. You can't think for yourself. And I think that's the main problem. And so it's not that people can't think for themselves, it's that they're afraid to”

Sam Altman says AI leaders have done a terrible job at communicating to the public: “The, ‘Dear peasants, we will bequeath upon you these gifts of a cure for cancer and material wealth and great entertainment, and you stop complaining, and we'll make all the decisions about the future and just trust us, we'll be benevolent dictators.’ That’s not good. Not good.” “A lot of the people building AI have been saying, ‘There's a 25% chance we're going to destroy the world, and yet we're going to race ahead to do it because otherwise those bad guys will do it first.’” “Or, ‘Man, this thing is going to be really terrible, and 50% of the jobs are going to go away in the next year, and we hope you all are okay, but it seems really scary.’” “We have not, as a field, done a very good job of explaining to people what the benefits are and how the downsides can be mitigated—and we certainly have not done a good job even if people have had answers like saying, ‘There's going to be UBI, or work will be optional.’” “There's been very little discussion from people about how and why it's important that people have more power and personal freedom in the world, not less. And that matters a lot to most people.” “The ability of people to influence their own future and collectively design where society is going to go, and the autonomy that comes with that, is very important. I don't think a lot of people in the AI field… they feel it for themselves, but they don't spend much time thinking about it, reflecting on or acknowledging how important that is to other people.”

🇺🇸 ELON ON AI: “IF YOU CAN THINK OF IT, YOU CAN HAVE IT - THAT WILL BE THE FUTURE” "I'm Confident that AI and robotics will continue to advance -and they are advancing very rapidly- working will become optional. People will be able to have any goods or services they want. If you can think of it, you can have it. But at a certain point, AI will actually saturate everything humans can think of. And then it becomes a situation where AI is doing things for AI and robotics are doing things for AI and robotics, because they are running out of things to do to make humans happy. Because there is a limit, there are only so many people and only so much food. If you can think of it, you can have it. That will be the future." Source: Elon Musk, Nikhil Kamath

Elon Musk: Manufacturing is fun—more smart people should get into it. “Very often, people think of manufacturing as just some rote process of making copies, which actually it isn't. Manufacturing is building the machine that makes the machine. If you think the machine is important, building the machine that makes the machine is also extremely important. And more often than not, what I found is that the manufacturing is harder than the original product. At Tesla, we can make one car very easily, but to make thousands of cars with high reliability and quality and where the cost is affordable is extremely hard. I'd say 10 times harder, maybe more. And then at SpaceX also, it may be approaching an order of magnitude harder to manufacture rockets and launch a lot of them than to design one in the first place. So, I really think a lot more smart people should be getting into manufacturing. And it's kind of fun. It's got a bad name for a while, but it's really interesting.” MIT AeroAstro, October 24, 2014

"We're trying to hire as many new grads as we can. We're finding that a lot of young people are agentmaxxing." - Replit founder Amjad Masad Amjad says that despite the “doom and gloom” around entry-level jobs, this is actually a “golden era” for young people who know how to use AI tools: "The roles are collapsing. We have designers shipping code, engineers shipping design, and salespeople shipping code." "The particular skill is not the bottleneck anymore. It is how ambitious you are, how generative you are, how creative you are, and how good you are at utilizing these tools." "So I think it's really a golden era for a lot of young people coming up right now in the job market. In our time, you would go and interview and become a Java J2EE software engineer doing global migrations. That was your title, right? It's no longer the case. We just want people to come and do things, and I think that's incredibly exciting."

Shuler: As a backdrop, the economy isn’t working for working people right now. We have inequality at its highest levels. People are working harder and harder for less. They’re working two and three jobs just to keep up. In the U.S., 40 percent of workers do not have $400 for an emergency. Now put AI on top of that—the insecurity that we are all experiencing, the fact that people are waking up and some new technology is landing in their jobs without training and without having a say. Of course they’re going to be anxious and feel insecure about what the future holds. And so I really think we need to stop and ask, “Who are we doing this for? What are the results we want? And how do we get there?” We get there by including workers in the process. They shouldn’t have to be at the end of the cycle. They should actually be upstream.

How "micro-discipline" compounds into elite success: "Every single decision that you have in front of you in your life will have a slightly easier and a slightly harder choice. Make the slightly harder one more often than the slightly easier one." "It's micro-discipline that can make it seem as if you have this macro-discipline but that's not actually what it is. It's the little things that nobody sees that's what leads you to that end state." "I don't think it's ever by reflex. I think it's always by will." "How you do anything is how you do everything." Andy Stumpf on Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

Austen Allred on Gauntlet AI: "We're very up front that we're 80 to 100 hours a week. If you think that that's a terrible idea, please don't come." "We're in Austin, all right? That's a sacrifice for a lot of people. If you don't think like coming to Austin for 100 hours a week and jamming on AI unpaid and just building stuff to figure out how much you can learn and hopefully getting a job on the other side... if you don't think that's awesome, that's totally fine. Please don't come." "There are some psychos out there that think that that's a good time. We wanna collect all those psychos. So come all, come all ye crazy people. And if that's not for you, that's okay." "There are companies that come to us and say, "Hey, we want, you know, 100 engineers that are going to sit in our division of printer drivers and sit there." And I'm like, "They would kill themselves." The people that are coming to Gauntlet would not do that. And so we turn companies down too." So we know who we are, we know what we stand for. You know, it helps that I'm one of those people that would've loved that. So is Ash Tilawat, and so is everybody else that works at Gauntlet. "So it's not hard for us to find other crazy people like ourselves. And that doesn't have to be you. That's okay." "We're not trying to empire build or solve all of humanity's greatest problems. We know that there's a limit to who we're addressing and what we're addressing at any given time." "So our goal is to be the best thing we can possibly be for that weird island of misfits. And for the companies that need a weird island of misfits, we'll be that all day long."

🚨 OBAMA ON AI: "If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI and having it just roaming free in the internet. The reason you are doing that is because you have to market a product that people will pay money for. That’s a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing, not because necessarily they’re trying to do bad things, but because they’ve got to justify these valuations. So, that’s one more reason why it is really important for us to have a competent government and a serious bipartisan conversation around this issue, and we have to do it fast. And I would encourage voters to pay attention to this. If somebody does not have a serious plan for how to deal with this, then they’re not meeting the moment, and you should probably look for somebody else."

“You're not entitled to get what you want. I love you. You're entitled to earn what you're willing to go work for. And that's true in our families, in our parenting, in our marriage, in our companies, in society. If we want it, go earn it. If that's positivity, have positivity. I think and I am a positive person. I am jacked. I am excited. Obviously, you can feel my energy through technology here, I hope. Frankly, think positive people just need to get a lot stronger. I really do. I mean, I don't want to call them weak because people hear that differently but it kind of is. Look, if you want that positivity to stick, you’ve got to get tougher. Not sacrifice your love and your care and your empathy, but you got to get tough. And then we have to figure out how to love the people who are cynical because I don't think there's a ton of bad people in the world and I don't think there's a ton of bad people on teams. But I do think there are people who've been burned out. I do think there are people who have been through things in their lives. They've been through things in their company. They're experiencing stuff somewhere else. For whatever reason, they just kind of got run down and cynical and negative, or whatever. Or they're just wired a little different than we are. And I don't to hate on those people. I want to win those people. They don't have to be like me. They don't have to have my energy. But I want those people on my team. I want to love those people. And if eventually they choose that they don't believe in the same things that I believe in, I want to make it really clear and obvious that they don't want to be on this team because we're not about that. You know what I'm saying? I want it to be very easy, obvious, that, ‘Hey I should not be on this team. Because this team is full of very positive people who have great energy and talk to people, not about them.’ And we solve problems. We don't complain. We don't get defensive. We're real. I recognize I'm imperfect and I'm vulnerable to show you that about me. I want to be on that kind of a team.

I don't want do what you guys do.’ And then I really hope that that person leaves us and goes and joins our competitor.”

🚨 STRAIGHT MIC DROP! GREG GUTFELD: "There are different people. There are people who, when they hear an awful crime, when Molly Tibbetts is m*rdered [by an illegal], they think of their wife, they think of their kids, they think of their sister, they think of their mother."

How do I deal with this so that I get instant gratification and empathy?'" "We don't think like that. We don't care. You can call me a monster that's saying all these people are getting deported. I don't care!" "I don't care about any of this performance anymore, Jessica. It's done. And you know what? Neither does Trump. People are voting for the law. They want the law.

German MEP Christine Anderson argues that governments "overplayed their cards" during the Covid era, setting in motion a mass awakening that can no longer be reversed. "The people stood up... And then they overplayed their cards. They came down even harder on the people to get them to do what they wanted them to do, and that woke more people up." "That was like a vicious cycle. The more people rebelled... the harder the state bashed down on them, the more people woke up." "And that's the situation we're in now. The genie is out of the bottle and they will not ever get it back in." "There is light at the end of the tunnel because a lot of people have woken up, and a lot of people will continue to wake up... in the months and years to come." "But I can tell you, buckle up. They're stepping up their game, so we have to do the same thing."

"Donald J. Trump sucks people into this permission structure or this world that he occupies, and people deceive themselves into thinking that it's good and true, and then he does the next thing that's bad. And people go and they look aside. ... If you admit one thing about him that's bad, then you start having to admit other things. And that's a tall order emotionally because everyone wants to think of themselves as a good person. ... That's what happens, you become indebted. There's kind of this debt to morality that's built up, and you realize you don't want to admit how far you've gone—how far you've strayed from what is right."

Listen to every word “To every white liberal out in the streets claiming to fight white supremacy and stand up for black and Hispanic people, go home. Everything you're doing is making life harder for the people you claim to support. Look around you. How many black and Hispanic people are actually standing beside you right now? Because I promise you this, if black people feel the need to fight for something, we know how to do that. — We fought not to be oppressed anymore. And what you do, stupefies people into thinking we still are. And Hispanics, they don't need you either. 50% of Latinos voted for Trump. Why? Because they and their families came here legally, did things the right way, and are tired of watching legal immigrants get rewarded while they follow the rules. A lot of them live on the border and see what happens when there's an unhealthy influx of illegal immigrants in this country. They want deportations, too. Your white privilege isn't helping anyone because it doesn't even exist. And believing that people of color can't stand up for themselves without your privilege leading the way is one of the most racist ideas there is. Google the white savior complex. White guilt has been imposed on you so deeply to the point that you feel like it's your duty to hold up posters and vandalize things with your delusions, leading people to think I support it because of my skin color. Get it? Stop. Go home and get a job”

Chuck Schumer before: “Until the American people are convinced that we will stop future flows of illegal immigration we will make no progress on the millions of illegal immigrants that are here now illegally." And when we use phrases like undocumented workers we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration which the American people overwhelmingly oppose. If you don't think it's illegal you're not going to say it. I think IT IS ILLEGAL and WRONG. And we HAVE to Change it!!" -Chuck Schumer ⬇️

Yunjin talks about her favourite quote “Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time” — Maya Angelou I've actually met a lot of like the most important people in my life right now, one of the biggest lessons that they've taught me is that you should always give people a second chance, because people are capable of change. And if you nurture them and give them the right environment to flourish, then they can really become anything. And I think that's a very important thing to realize the more that you get older, because it's really easy to limit yourself and limit others and be like, oh no, that's just the way they are. They will never change and, you know, I shouldn't even try to get them to change because that's just how they are and they're gonna stay like that forever. Because that, I feel like kind of makes it really easy for you to get really apathetic and not really care about things that maybe we should be caring about, like helping each other grow as people and, you know, trusting humanity.

Obama on AI: If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI and having it just roaming free in the internet. The reason you are doing that is because you have to market a product that people will pay money for. That’s a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing — not because necessarily they’re trying to do bad things, but because, you know, they’ve got to justify these valuations. So, that’s one more reason why it is really important for us to have a competent government and a serious, bipartisan conversation around this issue, and we have to do it fast.

"SF is a deep meritocracy. people don't really care how much money you have or care where you went to school" - Celeste Amadon "they care about how smart and capable you are" "i think these men that come to SF, a lot of them do make it and pour 100% of their life into it" "but that means they come up for air in their 30s and they don't have the friend groups and haven't dated as much" "that's a tough spot to be in"

"Every team wants to win a championship, but not every team wants to do the things required for a championship. And here's the thing: it's easy to be an average team. It doesn't require a lot. It's less adversity to be average in the world. The consequences of being average aren't easy. We end up wearing them. There's strain and struggle that comes with that too. The standard is just lower to be an average team. To be a championship team, to be champion, to be a championship team member here . . . I'm not gonna lie to you . . . I'm going to tell you the truth. It is harder. It is. The question is: Is it worth it? Some people say, "Oh it's not harder work." Yes it is. It's harder work. You can pursue comfort or you can pursue excellence. If we pursue comfort, we gotta give up some excellence. But if we pursue excellence, then we're just going to face more adversity. Everyone who's ever accomplished something excellence has had to overcome it. We are here today for a reason. Two reasons actually. Reason #1 is let's make sure that we identify and realize the opportunities that are in front of us. Reason #2 is let's make sure that we are preparing for the adversity that those opportunities require. And just understand: every single time you lever up your opportunities and you identify, "Oh there's something more I can do, more I can achieve. I can get better. I can earn more. I can do this." It's going to be matched with the adversity that comes with it. I want to make sure we are prepared for both of those, so that we're not chasing big opportunities and then getting mad when things start getting harder along the way. Is that fair? Does that make sense?"
