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...

🇺🇸 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

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.

"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."

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."

“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. And if there's somebody who doesn’t believe in that stuff, I want to make it really easy for them to say, ‘Look, I don't want to be on this team. I don't wanna live like you guys live. 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." "What do Democrats think about? There's a step before they even think about their family. They think, 'how does it affect my public persona? How does it affect my potential politically? 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. If you want to cry about m*rderers and r*pists, do it on your own time!"

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”

Finally, Zuckerberg ended with a brutal warning for the tech world—one rooted in hard experience. The biggest mistake tech companies make? Thinking they're smarter than the people they claim to serve. Zuckerberg explained why arrogance toward everyday users almost always leads to disaster. “To me, the best predicting thing has always been like, all right, if you build something, do people actually think it's good?” he said. “Because like at some level, you know, it's like, I just believe that people are actually very smart and understand their lives very well.” He reiterated that the real test isn’t winning awards or impressing other executives. It’s whether real people actually find what you build useful. “If you're building something that is useful for them, then they will use it,” he said. “And if you're building something that is not useful for them, then they have other options. They will do something else.” Zuckerberg said trusting people’s judgment — not lecturing them — has been his greatest advantage. “I don't know, it's always served me well to generally have faith in people and believe that people are smart and can make good decisions for themselves.” But he also offered a serious warning. Whenever companies start thinking they know better than their customers, it’s the beginning of the end. “Whenever we try to, like, adopt some sort of like attitude of, oh, we must know better than them, it's like—we're like—we're the people building technology. That's when you lose, right?” And when you lose touch for long enough, the fall is brutal. “If you have that attitude for long enough, then you just become a shitty company and you lose and you lose and you lose and then you're irrelevant.” In the end, Zuckerberg said, it’s not the elites who shape the future, it’s the people. “I tend to just think that at the end of the day, yeah, I mean, I think people are smarter than a lot of people think, and I think ultimately drive the direction that society goes in.” Underestimate everyday people and you lose everything.

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.

"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?"

"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.

.Scott Jennings on the level of security that accompanied most of the presidential line of succession that were in attendance for the #WHCD when the shooting broke out.... "A lot of important people. And I just think these people are all guarded by people. Secret Service cabinet officers have their own protection. The Capitol Police protect the people from the legislative branch. You got a number of different -- you got D.C. Police, got a number of different law enforcement people here. And look, you know, at the end of the day, the shooter is in custody. And we'll learn details. But these are -- these are brave people because they are guarding people that are constantly under threat. They're going to these major events, thousands of people are around. You know, it's a little wild out there. And -- and so, I just think I just wanted to say, thank God for these law enforcement personnel because what they do to put their lives on the line to protect the continuity of our government and events like this, we should be proud that they serve our country and our -- and our government the way they do."

Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, on why AI is both a bubble and a revolution at the same time: His answer refuses the binary, laying out why both things can be true at once: "I mean, clearly, it's clearly both, right? It's clearly a bubble and at the same time, it's very interesting and I think it will change society and I think it will change how most skilled jobs get done." But he pushes back on the maximalist framing: "At the same time, I don't think it's as revolutionary as people make it out to be." When asked about artists being angry that AI models were trained on their work without consent, Linus is blunt: "That's reality. Deal with it. That genie is out of the bottle. You're not getting it back. And you're not getting it back whether you are a photographer who's out of work… or you're a programmer that has to learn to deal with a new reality." On programming specifically, he's more optimistic, though he has a sharp caveat about vibe coding: "I really think that AI will be a tool and it will make people more productive. I think that vibe coding is great for getting into programming. I think it's going to be a horrible thing to maintain." His conclusion is that programmers aren't going anywhere: "You still want to have the people who know how to maintain the end result." Linus separates the technology from the noise around it: "I'm a huge believer in AI. I'm not a huge believer in the whole things going on around AI. I find the marketing and the market to be sick and twisted and there is going to be a crash and it's not… it's going to be ugly."

President Kagame on sports shaping countries’ economies in the future: It's not just the future. When you talk about, for example, the arena, the stadium, it's already happening. People are taking notice of that and counting and knowing that it has employed so many, it has brought in so much. And that interaction around people here and beyond, with the rest of the world, speaks volumes in terms of value. So it has already brought in a lot. And it's a question of growing that. And we also know that statistics show that even across Africa, in terms of sports, it's running into billions as to what sports can bring to the continent, tens of billions. I think what we do as leaders at different levels is to encourage people to be part of realizing that story and reaping the benefits. And it's happening. So it's no longer something you just listen to and think it is for others and not for you. Now people believe, they start by believing. And when they start by believing and see things happening, then they believe even more and get more involved. And, I mean, the sky is the limit.
