"But if AI does everything, what's left for humans?"
What an unbelievably depressing question.
As if the entire purpose of human existence was to perform economically valuable labor.
As if spending 40 years answering emails, processing invoices, debugging software and sitting in meetings was the pinnacle of civilization.
We invented machines to escape physical labor.
We invented computers to escape repetitive calculations.
Now we're inventing intelligence to escape cognitive labor.
And somehow people have convinced themselves that this is a tragedy.
I don't want humanity to spend the next thousand years finding new ways to keep everyone employed.
I want humanity to reach a point where employment is no longer a prerequisite for survival.
Why is that such a controversial ambition?

If there is one thing the AI revolution has taught me, it’s that 99% of people cannot extrapolate. At all. Quite literally people cannot imagine or visualize progress or changes beyond the current state. Complete inability to predict the future.
Spot on.
LLM's weren't great at writing code either until they were put in a harness.
Software Engineers don't know how to build a writing harness because they aren't good writers.
Writers don't know how to build a writing harness because they aren't good software engineers.
Writing isn't magic. It's going to be reducible to a collection of rules and loops like code. With the added need to reflect the zeitgeist, rooted in an opinionated point of view.
This is beyond feasible.

Ron Baron describes Elon Musk as "the biggest job creator in the" US and a "once in a lifetime person."
Baron points out that Musk has the ability to build businesses at a scale and cost that almost nobody else can match.
He also notes the scale of Musk's businesses and projects like Terafab as examples of how he is pushing American industry forward.

If you’re campaigning to slow down AI, I want you to go explain it to the parents of a kid with a rare disease.
Look them in the eyes.
Tell them their child’s disease affects too few people for any company to spend a decade researching it. Tell them that AI could finally make that research cheap enough to happen.
And then tell them you think we should “pause.”
Tell them you need more time to feel comfortable.
Because that’s what you’re asking for.
You’re asking them to wait.
And some of them don’t have time to wait.
Your comfort is not worth their child’s life.
Morally bankrupt meet actually bankrupt
UPDATE: 19 COMPANIES NOW REPORTED AS HAVING ENDED OR RULED OUT SPONSORSHIPS WITH JENNIFER WELCH’S “I’VE HAD IT” PODCAST!
The fallout continues for left-wing podcaster Jennifer Welch and her co-host Angie Sullivan after they laughed at a social media post about digging up Charlie Kirk and shooting him again.
During their November 5 episode, the two laughed at the disgusting remark referencing the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The backlash was immediate, and advertisers began distancing themselves from the podcast.
Now, 19 companies have been identified as no longer sponsoring or advertising with the podcast, or as having ruled out future partnerships.
Here is the updated list:
1. Cash App - Confirmed it no longer sponsors the podcast and condemned violence.
2. Chewy - Confirmed it no longer sponsors or supports the show.
3. Boll & Branch - Confirmed it does not currently advertise with the podcast and will not in the future.
4. Lola Blankets - Confirmed it no longer works with the podcast.
5. Zenni Optical - Canceled advertising.
6. NOBL Travel - Reportedly ended its advertising deal.
7. Ridge Wallet - Confirmed it is no longer a sponsor and will not work with the show going forward.
8. Honeylove - Reportedly ended its advertising partnership.
9. Ethos - Reportedly ended its advertising relationship.
10. BetterHelp - Confirmed its last placement was months ago and that it was already no longer sponsoring the podcast.
11. PAKA - Reportedly ended its sponsorship.
12. Primal Queen - Reportedly confirmed it will not move forward with future sponsorships.
13. iRestore - Reportedly ended the relationship through its advertising agency.
14. Monarch - Confirmed its advertising relationship ended in September 2026, before this controversy.
15. Jones Road Beauty - Listed as no longer sponsoring the podcast in the updated advertiser tracker.
16. Casper - Reported to have cut ties.
17. Nutrafol - Marked as no longer sponsoring on the tracked list.
18. Ember Mugs - Marked as no longer sponsoring on the tracked list.
19. Ladder - Marked as no longer sponsoring on the tracked list.

Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan of the “I’ve Had It” podcast have posted a new video slamming Turning Point for its coordinated boycott of their podcast, which has resulted in over a dozen advertisers stating they will no longer advertise on the show.
They specifically mention a tweet by @AndrewKolvet — a longtime friend of Charlie Kirk and a producer and co-host of the Charlie Kirk Show — in which he says about the duo:
“If they apologize for being part of a toxic and evil culture that perpetuates violence against conservatives, I might actually be willing to listen.”
Welch and Sullivan have come under fire from conservatives after they laughed at a tweet on their post-midterm election show that joked, “we’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.”
Erika Kirk has also criticized the podcast hosts and Dave Chappelle in a new tweet, but she did not mention them by name

Spot on.
I want AI to replace my doctor.
Not because my doctor is bad. Because my doctor is human.
Tired. Rushed. 12 minutes per patient. Hasn’t read a new paper since 2014. Forgets what I said last time.
An AI that’s read every medical paper ever written, never gets tired, and has all the time in the world for me?
Yes please.
People call that dystopian.
I call it the first time healthcare has actually been about the patient.

Hard disagree. It’s just missing the orchestration layer that professionalizes the process.
The state of AI UIUX is early / not good. Same can be said for roadmapping and user story/task decomposition. QA with computer use is cool but slow.
Grok bot, Dots, and other end-to-end full-spectrum harnesses claim to be production-ready but they’re not.
The next evolution will look a lot more like current product/project management and design workflows with human tasks and verification and review gates.
Its about to be very cool but right now that experience is only understood by those who have created their own custom harnesses.
We are missing a linear/asana/obsidian/slack/figma agentic interface.
Anyone else stopped vibe-coding? I've cancelled all my AI subscriptions.
After initial excitement, I felt AI couldn't do more than before. It's more of a "knowledge refactor" - like an encyclopedia that reorganizes information, yet unlocks few opportunities. A dip is coming.

NEW: Cash App has severed ties with the 'I've Had It' Podcast after hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan laughed uncontrollably at the thought of digging up Charlie Kirk's corpse and killing him again.
Cash App says they are no longer a sponsor of the show.
Just 20 minutes before the women cracked up at the thought of assassinating Charlie Kirk again, Welch had read an ad for Cash App.
Surprising anyone would want to sponsor this show in the first place.

Sad to say @profgalloway is an investor in Boom. I don't mind disagreements but calling for an execution of a non-criminal (worse, an actual hero!) is a step too far.
Working to arrange a buy-out of his shares.

Anchoring your (incorrect) stance on a study from 16 months ago in the era of AI innovation is a wild choice.
Most people have no idea about the inflection points we’ve gone through this year.
Absolute negligent decel moron.
In a randomised trial, software developers using AI took 19% longer to complete tasks. Yet they believed AI had made them 20% faster.
At the ‘Evidence in Action’ event, I argued for a government that tests what works, and saves money by learning from the results. ministers.treasury.gov.au/mi… #randomistas
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 19%/20% figures are from a July 2025 METR study of experienced open-source developers using early-2025 AI tools, which the authors describe as an outdated snapshot; a 2026 follow-up found some evidence for speedup with newer tools.

Not so new idea: we should be checkmating every single country in the world right now, just as they’d be doing to us.
Then we should show them compassion and include them in the era of abundance and prove that scarcity of resources was always the driver of our differences.
I can confidently say that humans were not very good at writing secure infrastructure. The endstate will be hypersecure infrastructure and software for all, but we're going to go through some turbulence before we reach that.

Shouldn’t even have to be said.
If you’re actively trying to stop AI development, you’re my enemy and an enemy of humanity.
I consider what you’re doing a direct attack on humanity’s future.
Every disease that could have been cured, every life that could have been saved, every person who could have escaped poverty.
Every opportunity lost is a direct consequence of your actions, and those lives are on your shoulders.
You’re willing to sacrifice all of that because you’re terrified of progress.
I have absolutely zero tolerance for this.
Your movement deserves to be politically defeated, intellectually dismantled, and remembered as one of the greatest obstacles to human progress in history.

I appreciate how fully the Left has totally forgotten about climate change and opted instead to go after - checks notes - machines that know everything
