CCC

Chill Clowns, Evil

Agreed with all of this. That Carney speech was cornpone catastrophic crapola. It’s spineless and it’s daft. “Embrace decline and failure” isn’t the brilliant rhetorical and managerial masterstroke the intelligentsia is portraying it as. I guess they must be this way, though. The alternative is actually doing something substantive: undertaking large projects; reversing decline; declaring the West worth fighting for.

And you know none of that is going to happen. So you get that milquetoast garbage from Carney and ilk.

Safety Obsession

Chill Evil

I started going out alone when I was seven, though I wasn’t allowed to roam that far. This was considered completely normal at the time, though in other ways my parents were neglectful. By the time I was around 9, though, I could go wherever I wanted. All the other kids I knew were the same.

We really have chosen the path of harming entire generations for no known reason.

Want To Admit

Chill Tech

AI reaches the threshold of average human creativity.

That’s a pretty low bar, to be fair. The average human is nothing special in this or any other area. But still it is quite an achievement and AI will only improve.

The best AIs now can surpass 95%+ of the juniors I’ve ever worked with, and about half of the mid-tier folks. That’s substantial and is going to change the job market and society more than most people now realize or want to admit.

The left’s inane screeching about it won’t change that, nor will the right’s attempt to strangle the future in other ways.
