This is a really important story. You know how over reliance on AI makes you lazy and stupid? This shows how that’s happening within the military — a military, it cannot be pointed out often enough, that’s growing ever more reliant on AI. The children of Shajarah Tayyebah Elementary paid the price

I think a lot of this too is that some people that don't use AI at all, but are extremely afraid of being outed by these AI detectors falsely for using AI. I checked out several of these, and quite a few are completely insane, and reported completely human writing as 80%+ AI. They're not good.

UNIVERSAL basic income? But why should we include Elon Musk? Because by including everyone, including Elon, universal programs become seen as RIGHTS. A program for only the poor will always be weaker than a universal one and will always exclude a great many of the poorest that universality reaches.

I was going to say that as well. There's nothing wrong with revising, trying again, etc., but self-publishing is a very valid option, and it really comes down to why you're publishing and which model accomplishes those goals best.

This is the Tesla valuation in a nutshell as well. Promise something that will completely change society, kick the can until the bill comes due, then promise something new. Current valuations require AI to replace the workforce. That's the assumption. If it falls short of that, it fails to deliver.

"Having an [unconditional basic income] was such an eye-opening and different experience for them that really moved them forward in ways that are tangible, but aren’t as popular or sexy to talk about in policy... If someone’s telling you it’s changed their life, you need to listen to them."

You will never convince me that we won't see more incredibly creative art like this with universal basic income. I want UBI for many reasons, but especially this reason. I want more people exploring new ideas and pushing boundaries and getting really good at stuff they love. I 100% adore AdP. 🏆

I went and saw Project Hail Mary. A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie. Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that. He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

The calls for the 25th Amendment are understandable but misguided. J.D. Vance and Trump’s cabinet are not accountable to voters in November. We need voters to understand that Trump is only able to act like this because Republicans in Congress let him. messagebox.substack.com/p/the-25th-a...

This is incorrect. The media may be dropping the ball on reporting things, but there were protests all over the country, including in the Ohio city I live in, the day the war started - with less than 12 hours lead time. The mainstream press may hide it but that doesn't make it less real.

Universal Basic Income works. It works extremely well because what people need is cash, trust, and dignity, not paternalistic bureaucratic hoops to jump through to exist. And yes we can afford it because the lack of it is very costly. UBI should be seen as an investment with a large expected return.
