As a guy who on numerous occasions has been in favor of raising taxes on the wealthy, why doesn’t he just write a huge check to the IRS and be done with it?
The key phrase is LIFE Insurance, not HEALTH Insurance!
They are vastly different markets.
You don’t deny claims for life insurance as companies would do for health insurance. It’s a very different set of circumstances to have to deny life insurance.
I think an analogy that is helpful is that of a woodworker. Automation just allowed them to do more things at in less time.
Power saws really reduced time, lathes even more so. Power drills changed drilling immensely, and even nail guns are used on roofing project s because manual is way too slow.
All the jobs still exist, but their tools are way more capable.
How much do you expect to raise taxes to cover that gap? You double my taxes and I’m in the welfare line.
Further, and this is not referenced enough - the US must rollover ~9 trillion in treasuries this year. The lower the interest rate to do that, the better. Otherwise it increase the deficit even more.
The only way this ends is one of two paths - a path similar to what we are on; default.
We may not like this one, but default is world destroying because of the broad use of the Dollar around the globe.
No mention of LATCH theory? (Location, Alphabet, Time, Category, and Hierarchy)
Oddly, no matter how they are organized, their indices will always be a hierarchy (tree).
Personally, I think human brains just have a categorization approach that is built into our brains as hierarchy, so while other methods are definitely useful, they are an add-on, not a replacement.
Grok3 has been amazing, but it keeps on wanting me to do dark mode for an app I’m creating. When I finally said yes, it wasn’t able to get dark ode to work, despite multiple tries. Was funny tbh.
For creating website (not apps) it absolutely is there. This is just the first rung on the ladder though. It’s not doing Linux kernel development yet, but that time will come eventually. In between are all the other rungs. AI will climb them one by one.
Might be time for a class action lawsuit. Something like that could work out really well for the little guy as it would probably make a dent in the LLM companies pockets and access to data.
The problem is that Google owns both sides of the internet - the browser on your computer and the search engine to find everything.
As a result, they control your perception of the internet.
If a site doesn’t work, you as the user thinks the site doesn’t work. You don’t think oh, my browser is broken. Also, if you don’t find a site on Google the. To you, it doesn’t exist.
As a result, you have to bend your website to satisfy both Google search and Google chrome.
That’s why this is an issue. Because of those two things, Google effectively controls the internet, and you as a user or you as a website owner have essentially zero recourse when Google does something that harms you.
So, I was in a conversation with someone who made an interesting comment.
He said we have a gold reserve and that makes sense, but if we become interplanetary, then you don’t want to pay to ship gold to Mars. Crypto solves that issue. The reserve will last well into the future so preparing now makes sense.
Unique take to be sure, but sharing because it was interesting.
