Saturday musings; we call it “the Earth“ but we don’t call it “the Mars“. When we get there and we start farming will we say, “I was digging in ‘the Mars’ when I discovered a bone buried in ‘the Mars’”?.

Surfing X, I see 3 characters of AI commentary: The this is nothing guy, The this is going to happen quick guy, and, The what is AI? guy.

The market forces are moving in ways we have never modeled. Gold, equities, crypto, AI, central bank and CEO confusion. It’s going to get weird fast. Relax and ride the wave.

It’s hopeful naivety- this idea that everyone will embrace non-scarcity. It’s the same delusion the social constructionists have about the social contract.

Starlink loses connection every morning at 10:06-10:09 Eastern. Right when I start my 10am team standup call.

Tonight was my first time being embarrassed for AI. I put Grok on and the Bible Study was freaked out by Groks voice and knowledge of the word….

I’m struggling with the abundance here if it’s all equitably distributed. What does the transform look like with regard to property and production? A limit case would be something like Disney World - it’s model depends on economic disparity.

What if in the new world of equality the farmer has no incentive to do the farming? You force the guy to allow his property to be farmed? What about the residential high-rise owner - is he forced to keep it open?.

UBI/UAI is perplexing to consider. Equal distribution to all is wonderful and all, but there is the “currently owned assets problem”. Everyone has abundant cash: now what do you do with people that already have properties that support production: like farms and ranches?.

Being kind, understanding people, and doing what’s best for your community. These will last.

The value of knowledge is slipping away. Next to go is skill. But wisdom, intuition, and interpersonal connection is on the rise.

If I ask for your ideas, and you can’t tell me them without, in the process telling me someone else’s, then the ideas you have are not your own.

With it went untruth which is also dying a horrific death. The new era will make untruth unpopular and those that peddle it, poor.

The struggles of traditional media over the last 20 years was fueled by greed which drove its irrelevance and so, its demise.

Logic. Deductive reasoning, and the ability to articulate your needs, theories, and imagination are the tools that will dominate the next 2 years.

Limited abstraction. It’s why you cannot see how AI will change the world across all domains. “AI can’t do my job as it is too complex, requires social skills and human touch, too etc”. Ai is already better than nearly everyone at everything. Taking your job is the easy part.

Real is now very rare. Rare has value. Produce verifiably real content and stuff - be on the receiving end of the great wealth transfer.

The cascade has already begun.

When you think “why is it taking so long to get my flying car”, put into perspective that it’s been less than 100 years that we’ve even had a refrigerator in the house. We are doing fine

I can feel the intelligence rising. Adoption of AI into my colleagues daily work and personal life is about 80%. Some already report it is essential to their day.
