Are you seriously saying you don't think they'll be able to? If it can even do 30% of the efficiency of what an entry level worker can do it can already be massively leveraged to not outright replace a workforce right away but most analysis from mainstream firms are predicting massive layoffs starting from 2027-2030. Unemployment in the US right now is at 4.4%, if it doubled in the next 5 years that'd be pretty drastic.

Allergic or afraid of?

@SwiftQuill Any tips for starting one? I've written a few articles on substack before and I enjoy it. If I could even get 50 regular readers that would be pretty cool. I have a decently big audience on Instagram but it's quite shallow and whenever I talk about something deeper I lose like 90% of mainstream people

Agreed I like to enjoy my life much more than he does but pioneers like him will be how we actually become immortal. I've started also playing around with using ChatGPT as a personal trainer/macro tracker and it's 20x better than my fitness pal. It's just gonna be very easy to slowly orient your life towards excellent with AI coaching. Let alone when AR glasses become mainstream and you can have it actively monitor and improve your life in real time.

I've only just watched the first 15 mins as I must force myself to go back and finish the truth one to not leave these all partially watched but I like it so far. I'm an INTP with a very strong logical mind and I run into the end of logic consistently. Like it's hard to logic your way out of my own existence being a figment of my own imagination. Excited to watch the rest of the episode and the upcoming ones. Any books in particular that touch on this topic or other sources you recommend apart from the meta rationality website?

Definitely some sort of UBI. The job market cannot keep functioning even if AI fulfills even 40% of it's promises. 2027 will be the year of massive AI layoffs to the tune of 10-15% unemployment. If you're an average dude work on your social network. UBI depending on the countries will take years to successfully implement but layoffs can happen overnight. Families used to stick together with 15-20 people in a household I think we might have a similar period. Eventually it'll lead to post scarcity and abundance for the whole of human race the even the most optimistic scenarios for that are in the 2040s.

Excited for it. What do you have against AI porn @Butters ?

I feel like that's an unfair characterization of the situation. If you read the article multiple people, Noam Chonsky included were well aware of the shady allegations and his arrest for underaged sollicitation and chose to ignore that in favour of the status they gained from being friends with him or in favor of the intellectual stimulation that being friends with an global elite provides. I mean it's an interesting argument of moral relativism. Plenty of people think themselves moral characters but support wars where thousands of children are tortured and killed. I don't think it excuses being friends with a human trafficker though.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/22/noam-chomsky-jeffrey-epstein-ties-emails?CMP=share_btn_url https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1p3uvfl/chomsky_had_deeper_ties_with_epstein_than/ Such a fascinating development as it seems one of the heroes of the left Noam Chomsky had a decently deep friendship with Epstein. The interesting part to me was that Noam didn't seem to be guilty or interested in any of the sex with minors stuff, it was mostly an intellectual friendship with the article writing about when one time they were hanging out and discussing the Oslo accords, Epstein picked up his phone and called up the Norwegian diplomat involved in the negotiations. "“I met Jeffrey Epstein half a dozen years ago,” read the letter of support from Chomsky that was reviewed by the Guardian after its Republican House oversight committee release. “We have been in regular contact since, with many long and often in-depth discussions about a very wide range of topics, including our own specialties and professional work, but a host of others where we have shared interests. It has been a most valuable experience for me." It reminds me of the christian point that all human beings are corrupt and only Jesus could've been pure. We all have our temptations towards the dark side and Chomsky was communicating and praising Epstein for over 10 years since he has publicly charged with soliciting sex from a minor.

That was really creepy for me to see yeah I think trump is two faced and will say whatever to benefit his currently agenda. Which was known before but seeing it so clearly like that is very off putting.

What are you working on mostly these days?

Bro what are you talking about the market is the entirety of humanity's wants and needs separated by supply and demands in terms of services and products sold to people in different countries. It's not arbitrary or random at all. Try selling an hour of your consulting for $1M and see if it works. Some people can do it. I don't know what you mean by justification, it's a system of cause and effects. What is the justification for mountain lions eating deers? Sure you can say that we as a species should come together and figure an international system of checks and balances beyond what we currently have but that's not an argument against capitalism it's an argument for a better UN basically. I haven't said any bullshit. Have you ever taken an economics class or read an economics book? If you're uneducated about these topics I can understand that they make you emotional as they're hard to understand but don't pretend to be an expert in capitalism if you haven't studied it.

That's what I mean by you don't understand capitalism. The market sets prices. You don't "deserve billions in your bank account" you make a business that has that valuation and you sell it. Do you think people that buy businesses are dumb and just buy them because some random guy said his business is worth billions? Capital flight was a thing in the times of the Phoenician and ancient rome. Capitalism depending on how you define it only really emerged around 1500.

I mean sure especially AI companies are scraping the whole internet right now but I doubt we would stand out compared to radical either far right or far left activists.
