The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.

I have observed this on many occasions. For instance, a friend of mine who is a brilliant planner and a brilliant copywriter found it almost impossible to gain employment.
It may be part of a wider phenomenon which explains the popularity of performance marketing. Because performance marketing is entirely devoted to achieving one narrow thing, it appears 100% effective at that one thing.
Other communication forms which achieve multiple objectives don't have a pet single metric all of their own to make themselves look good. – at Sundridge, South East

Company email servers should only deliver messages three times a day - morning, noon, and mid-afternoon (mimicking the old London postal model). It would kill the constant distraction, and I'm convinced would make offices more productive and significantly happier places.

Oggi è stato un giorno difficile per l’Ucraina dopo un massiccio attacco russo. Sono stati lanciati numerosi missili balistici e droni, anche in questo momento continuano gli allarmi aerei in diverse regioni del nostro Paese. Ancora una volta, minacce dal cielo. Solo oggi gli attacchi russi hanno causato 22 vittime a Kyiv e a Dnipro, tra cui bambini. Stiamo facendo tutto il possibile per proteggere il nostro popolo, le nostre città e le nostre comunità. E siamo grati a chi ci aiuta. L’Ucraina è riconoscente all’Italia: apprezziamo profondamente che non siate indifferenti, che desideriate per noi la pace e che consideriate la difesa dell’indipendenza e della libertà di Kyiv anche una vostra causa. Insieme riusciremo sicuramente a raggiungere questo obiettivo.
Congratulazioni all’Italia, al Presidente Mattarella @Quirinale, al Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri @GiorgiaMeloni e a tutto il popolo italiano per l’80 anniversario della proclamazione della Repubblica. La libertà è una conquista che va difesa ogni giorno.
Grazie, Italia! Buona Festa della Repubblica!

A physical book is a real object, anchored. If you read a particular edition, you remember not only the contents but the object itself: its cover, typography, smell, even where a passage sat on the page.
Books organize themselves in memory by place --the ancient method of loci.
Digital text does not exist.
My new library does not have tall bookshelves, intentionally so all books are in easy reach.
Non #Lindy books are ditched except those that can be useful are in a hallway not in the main rooms.

People, and I mean also decision makers, bureaucrats, and CEOs, can‘t think in terms of second order events. This is not to blame them for lack of complex systems thinking. This is based on observations and experience since the first systemic risks emerged during GFC 2007/08.

The fellow below (like all IQ obsessed shlemiels) didn't get the contradiction that if both neurosurgeons are identical in performance, education, etc., yet are separated by 3 STD in IQ, it means IQ does not reflect anything.

Semplice.
- La prima è una democrazia nella quale la maggioranza dei cittadini approva i crimini commessi dal suo esercito ai danni di un altro popolo. Dall'esercito che compie quotidianamente quegli orrendi crimini (che tu giustifichi, applaudì o ignori) provengono una parte degli atleti presenti.
- La seconda è una dittatura che opprime il proprio stesso popolo e contro la quale il popolo iraniano si ribella da lungo tempo.
Gli atleti iraniani non sono associabili ai crimini del regime di #Khamenei, anzi l'opposto.
Gli atleti israeliani, come la maggioranza dei cittadini israeliani che li approvano, sono associabili ai crimini del governo di #Netanyahu.
Come lo sei tu che infatti pubblichi questi tweet per cercare, vanamente, di lavarti la coscienza.

“He is celebrating progress in protecting kids from harm, yet just a few years earlier he helped with defense language in a case about exploiting minors. Sarah put it all out there publicly with hard evidence from the files, and we tagged Pinker directly, asking for comment or explanation on the specifics—the 416 mentions, the 2007 letter, the ongoing ties. He had every chance to address it, deny parts, or clear the air. Instead, he blocked Sarah, blocked me over a tiny repost, and stayed quiet. If the book's message about making child harm unacceptable is genuine, why not use words to push back on questions tied to his own past actions?”
GREAT point and good article.

In the past, technology caused employment to move up on the sophistication scale. Technology provided the muscle, people did more and more of the thinking . Today, AI is forcing people to move down into low tech and perhaps menial jobs.

NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst.
It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know.

Riassumendo: 1) su @repubblica e @LaStampa non fanno piu interviste perché ci siamo occupati di #Stellantis; 2) da @corradoformigli non mi invitano perché ho contestato Sachs e la conduzione pro #Sachs ; 3) di #Enel e Terna sui giornali non si può parlare perché altrimenti minacciano di togliere la pubblicità.
C’è un problema di libertà di stampa o di stampa libera?

Many believe that someone coming from the private sector will be business-minded & not bureaucratic.
No,
You get a salary (not a commission/cut) => you are a bureaucrat.
CEOs are the most bureaucratic, even those on incentive, WORSE than government bureaucrats.

This is a must read substack article
Excerpt
“The most honest person I've met recently was a VP at a tech company who told me: "I manage a team of twelve people who create documents for other teams who create documents for senior leadership who don't read documents. I make £150k a year. It's completely absurd, and I'm riding it as long as I can while building something real on the side."
