you could do trials on the street and measure a cluster of signs of wellbeing or discomfort and then let people eat ultra-processed foods. even if flooded with endorphins, signs of discomfort will show.
if your eyes doubt that you are bleeding after you ram a knife into your stomach and red stuff gushes out, maybe science can tell you the truth!
It's YT creators vs people on/in front of/around trains. People with real jobs and real impact. Nobody would have invaded Iraq if those planes back then crashed into a Hollywood studio. ( exaggeration, chill out )
If a programmer fucked up something "train leaks" related and he ignored that because of xyz, there would be trouble.
We had a homie cannabis user, who rarely left his desk or couch and two other homie cannabis users who wouldn't stop doing renovation in their apartment and who were out doing sports with the da ladies all the time. They smoked up and went for a run at 11:30 P.M. what?
I assume guy 1 has a significantly higher chance of whatever, despite now trading lots of money ... while the other two still do what they did, with teen kids and Moms and all that ...
it's not the cannabis.
hey do your bodies crave liquor when you suffer from a blood knot? but stop when it's gone?
Protecting children is hard. Generations of parents have been put under loads of pointless stress so that they leave lots of education to "the system" and it's clerks, most of which were only good enough at their jobs. Things developed, and mistakes of deliberately mislead parents were conventionally framed as life and life's lessons.
We are talking about thousands of kids/adolescents raped every party weekend in US and Europe ( rape is jut one extreme example ).
The role of social media in the mere exposure effect to character types and behavioral patterns is obvious--and probably well studied--but "it's just social media - raise your kids well and stop blaming others" works about as well as outlining how certain pop segments were sabotaged for decades and couldn't even exert the free will to do things better/differently--even though they noticed the premises and conclusions of certain problems--because it went against the advice of figures who were perceived as authoritative.
the fear to lose control due to incompetence .... is that how all those former and current self-driving/self-flying/self-digging engineers and founders feel?
jeez must they be grateful to all that stupidity their ( practically ) grand- daddies established among the rest of the world!
semantic reinterpretation on Austrian overload. knock your favorite downer down with at least 3 bottles of wine and you'll feel only slightly behind ... an IVY LEAGUE AFICIONADO got something to say. what's the shape of his intent? levels down, I mean, not the superficial that he modestly commands ...
nah, that's an entire 10 episode rewatch if this libertine vibe coder's agentic engineering pipeline holds! ... shit, mostly ads, if only the dude went through a few more testing cycles ... nah, that's enough time for some auto-research into the psycho-linguistic consequences of getting The Trump voted for president after the whitest black presidency in the history of the world, forever!
you might have the same issue as I had until I noticed the obvious:
1) people assign value
2) we've grown to 8+ billion and we're not gonna stop
3) everything is made up, every rule of value and engagement beyond pick, bite, chew, shit and kill when hungry or necessary is complete nonsense and only works because we, across generations, collectively decided mostly on "ok, I can make this work for meself"
4) almost all markets grow either way, meaning whether AI corp employees give AI users more time/attention on the marketing stage as people who don't use AI or not
5) people won't stop doing anything, worst case scenario ( "objectively" ): they take pills and then do that or some other thing, despite theft or any lack whatsoever
The thing is: it doesn't matter if something is just a prompt away. prompting and so on equals time equals money. I made a website for someone via claude designer ( opus, then fable ) ... now I want to hire a web dev to iron some kinks out and polish some others. I can do it myself and I can prompt claude again, but if I had a 1000 bucks, I'd rather pay someone, EVEN IF THAT PERSON WASNT A PRO BUT ONLY TOOK THE TIME BROWSING THE WEB WITH AI TO GATHER DESIGN INSPIRATION WHICH I CAN CHECK IN THEIR PORTFOLIO.
Some peeps learned code for fun, others for profit, others because they hated MS Office. Most people didn't learn to code. Most people won't prompt an AI to build them a tool they want because the supply just isn't the right match.
The logical conclusion of LLMs is this: literally nothing changes. The economy will always have space & money for people who provide some sort of productivity. And "consumption" has been an obvious productivity metric forever, but you have to do it at least somewhat publicly. Then the ads industry can help you make some bucks, while AI helps you with SEO and stuff, ... or you hire someone or use some 10 dollar per month saas.
If human input stops, LLM training stops. "Agentic World models"? One bug and they are all just tin cans. "Why? They can self-debug!" They can, but without humans they reach dead-ends, "task done", "nothing to do here" just like MOST employees in any corp ( SO is down and the 69x dev is on vacation ).
These researchers you talk about work. Enough of them make music.
Rich peeps bought land forever. Hell, my neighbor is poor and owns some land he bought for 5k or so. Lots of wood. He recently came around and now likes AI, after years of hating without even trying to fix his time-and-motivation-dependent ( learning ) issues with AI even once.
I'm modestly certain AI will drive enough people back out there into real life. Things will balance out.
AI has created no new issues. Most young people's problems are mid-to long term results of cheap liquor, bad food, downers and blockers ( experiments, parties, hopes, sabotage, side effects ) and the psycho-cultural effects of too many lies on TV, too much fraud in the economy and politics, and too many stimulant-boosted kids in school and university. Pills can solve their issues but you'd need to check and monitor their biology and neurology very closely and we don't have the "man"power for that, yet.
