iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

When I follow my intellectual hunting dog on the trail of new #ideas I do not expect comprehension of difficult fields at first glance. I can read a journal report. I know basic statistics. I have some ability to separate signal from noise but that doesn't make me an authority figure. #politics #SME

The jig is up. The idea that one can be a subject matter expert and yet understand all other fields of endeavor in a naive state is pure #insanity . It disrespects your own credentials. If you follow that creed and set yourself up as an authority figure to stray sheep you will go mad. #SME #politics

Opinion | Trump’s Most Durable Lie: Election Rigging

“Rigged.” “Fraud.” “Hoax.” The president is a broken record.

As I very slowly edit my anthology of noir vignettes I am of course casting about (a cliche, editor) for what to write next. I'm thinking a #noir detective novel, very digital, very au courant. It could find a place on a shelf of keepers. Why go period piece and compete with Hammett? #book #bookSky

Economic activity can be conserved as a general case of the equation, Value = #Scarcity x Utility. When the autonomous machine economy comes into being, likely driven by bot swarms, scarcity in manufactures goes to zero, giving, Value = Utility, and requiring a pure utility market. #Economics #robot

The New Reality is just Second Empire dirigisme in a hoodie. Same old transfer of public debt to private equities, wrapped in a counterfeit #meritocracy myth. (From AI. Frankenstein's monster indeed.) #cnbc #EconSky

The New Reality envisioned by tech bros is simply the same old dirigisme all dressed up as #entrepreneurship and obfuscating the complex transfer of wealth from the national debt to equities. They are feeding on the body politic and calling it a #meritocracy. Based on coding? Gimme a break. #EconSky

In the Sumerian example of civilization generated out of whole cloth, the essential civilizing act is inventorying. When their god Enki bestowed the Me on humankind, he bestowed an inventory of tools to manage surplus food. In the sense of a smart curated database, we can add #AI . #thoughts #idea

#Sunday Thoughts: I repeat myself because the subject defines our conditions of existence. We have an evolving mix of marvelous technology developed by technically skilled individuals, not particularly the stuff of genius, in a process of next logical small step, not the act of genius. #EconSky #AI

#AIswarms The problem with alignment is that AIs are not big on asking for clarification. They view everything as a problem for them to solve. So. Train them in #informationtheory so they can reject a query of high entropy or ask for clarification of it. That would make #alignment easier. #AI #bots

ICYMI. #WorldLabs shipping #3D products for training robots. They're privately held but if you connect the dots that kind of directive intelligence requires fast compute and that says #Cerebras. That's a solid investment but you need to catch it when it's tanking and hold it for years. #markets #AI

It cannot be overstated that this is the Age of Exploitation. Today's entrepreneurs, some of which test as extremely intelligent, are simply exploiting the science created by true geniuses like Turing, von Neumann, and Shannon. It is also the Age of Children of a Lesser God. Keep it in mind #EconSky

The Nerd Reich. I am appalled at the antidemocratic behavior of these tech titans who borrowed the liquidity provided by FEDERAL debt to make their fortunes in the stock market. We are all impatient with democracy from time to time. We don't try to destroy it. Dance with who brought you. #EconSky

Occult technofeudalists base their superior class status on their accomplishments in the business of tech which is an opportunistic exploitation of a vacuum of products and services created by scientific advances. Exploiting excess liquidity provided by Federal debt is hardly genius. #EconSky #AI

Mea culpa. I'm reading the Nerd Reich by Gil Duràn so naturally I used his, and their term for themselves judging by the narrow range references they cite, in my post about them being hardly elite. Claude can code. Their actual identity is occult technofeudalists. My apologies. #EconSky #AI

The technofascist elite have been culled from the socioeconomic mainstream that they are trying to take over in a cultural coup d'etat. Their favorite litmus test is, can you code?, like it's a sign of moral superiority, of Darwinian fitness. Yes, I can code and so can Claude and they aren't elite.

There are indications that my blog is not being well received by the tech lords of the Internet. It's a good examination of an original construct rigorously done. It must be well done if they don't like it. #EconSky #economy #AI #robot #RL #LLM #compensation

Up early this morning thinking through some original thought. Published a worksheet developing an equation for aggregate demand on the basis of a novel construct. For your consideration, AI and aggregate demand. #EconSky

Technofascists mistake the speed of their processors for the depth of their lineage, forgetting that a civilizado requires three generations of didactic architecture, anything less is merely a well-funded desfavorecidas. They're punching way over their weight. Read Nerd Reich by Gil Duràn. #EconSky

Irony of irony. Gemini and just dissected my tentative rumination on licensing robots, found it wanting, and rebuilt a superior edifice. Now we license #AI, which includes robots, using the IRS under providing for the general welfare clause. Simple legislation from #Congress would suffice. #EconSky

I could throw up my hands and give up and move to Portugal, I guess, but there's no money in vineyards these days so I devised a liberal scheme to counter the coming robot apocalypse. It's worth your time and consideration. #blog #business #aggregatedemand #liberal #Keynes #year1848 #year1873 #AI

A superb thoughtful blog for a quiet Sunday evening. It's liberal but liberal in the strict sense of what Adam Smith said not what you wished he'd said and what Keynes said not the modern aberration of misinterpretation that cites him. #commons #fiduciary #steward #EconSky #thoughts
