We have a duty to take it from them because their incompetence is beyond dispute at this point. The gerontocrats running the US government are a complete disaster and need to be replaced as rapidly as possible.

It is 100% ageism. The entire point is to reduce the value of a person’s opinion to only their age.

The usage of the phrase has evolved into a thought terminating cliche.

People should stop exploring new ideas the second they graduate college?? Sounds like a sad way to live.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I was looking for! And much more informative than the speculation and guessing in the article.

Then what are the real costs?

Dario’s company may be creating super intelligence that will kill us all in the near future, but at least he seems to be brutally honest about all of it.

The US has always been able to identify the truly talented students and get them into the best learning environments.

Sure but if you also give the year they can work out the percentile for your cohort. Although that probably also outs your company at risk for age discrimination.

In the same sense that the high school quarterback continues to talk about the Big Game now that he’s an overweight retail employee making minimum wage years later.

In the US or China?

Would you include the ability to differentiate between anecdotes and peer reviewed studies in your assessment of intelligence?

Because it’s a complete waste of time and money for both those students and the instructors.

Is there a reason you left out the SAT and ACT? Because both have been shown to have predictive power for success in college.

OK. What do you think of the argument made in the article?
287.
by jimbokun 4mo ago
That’s different than saying there’s a lot of “waste” to cut as many argue. The benefits agencies that make up the bulk of the spending have very low overhead and are run very efficiently. The vast majority of funds go directly to benefici

From the cfrb link the cost of Medicare for All would be $2.5T to $3.5T per year. So the entire defense budget would not cover it.

Seems like a non sequitur. What’s the causality of the gold standard leading to slavery?

by jimbokun 4mo ago
The Iran War spending is staggering but still not enough to cover Medicare for All, even for a single year. Maybe the ENTIRE defense budget would cover it.

Well they certainly had enough power to fuck a lot of shit up, if not enough power to meaningfully impact the budget deficit.

If you gave a snap quiz to all Trump voters asking whether the cost of the Iran War or the DOGE cuts were greater, I wonder how many would get the right answer.

By the same standard shouldn’t he also get credit for those 20 years of prosperity?

by jimbokun 4mo ago
Don’t those two data points suggest inequality is orthogonal to the gold standard?

Well it sounds like you did?

It’s not clear whether Europe has the capability to compete with US tech right now.

> Norway spent two decades digitizing classrooms and is now unwinding it. Seems a bit shortsighted and reactionary although I think they are trying to do the right thing. Sounds like following the evidence.

So now we just require them to pledge allegiance to Trump instead.

Most people are still not aware of the extent to which the US government has been overthrown. Powers granted exclusively to Congress have been usurped by the Executive, with no pushback from Congress. The courts have done better. But they

I fail to see how your scenario is qualitatively different than mine. Whether the machines do 100 percent of the work or only just approach 100 percent of the work, the value they produce will go almost exclusively to those who invested in
