“Also, I wanted to tell Bill that he's a major POTHEAD.
He's got to stop, it's very bad for his health.” 😂
I don't know why we take technologists' opinions on economics, government policy, human behavior, etc. so seriously. They're domain experts in machine learning and technology, not in any of the other fields I mentioned. We should listen to them on the risks their products pose or how to integrate AI into our workflows, but we should be skeptical of their claims outside of the narrow fields of their expertise.
AI is an incredible technology with many benefits and risks. We can elect smart people to make sensible policy that protects us as much as possible and holds technology companies accountable for their products, without overburdening the industry with nonsense regulations.
But when it comes to predictions about the future of work, I think saying there will be no jobs shows a lack of imagination about humans want. In 1800, most people worked on a farm. Now, less than 2% of Americans are farmers. If you asked a farmer back then what everyone would do once machines took over the fields, they couldn't possibly imagine the plethora of industries that would emerge.
They might make the technology, but ultimately, how the rest of us use it will determine how it all pans out.
The most revealing part of this conversation between Jon Stewart and Jacob Coxon wasn't Coxon's warning about A.I. doom, but his description of A.I. utopia, and Stewart's incredulous response. I wrote about it — and Francis Fukuyama's "Last Man," and A.I. easily solving the problems that bedeviled my father's field of mathematics for decades — here: nytimes.com/2026/10/18/opini…

You want me to be black-pilled on the tiny portion of human history where I have air conditioning, antibiotics, anesthesia, individual rights, and more wealth than the average person ever did...because there are still problems?
No thanks!!
Yeah man just take a big bite in the middle of the interview. That's totally not a weird thing to do
Rob Sand on a Kamala Harris 2028 run: "Nope."
Sand could become Iowa's first Dem governor in two decades, but he's not interested in help on the campaign trail from prominent party names like Harris or Biden.

Whoever is running the Geek Squad spam emails has been remarkably consistent. I’ve been getting the same basic spam email for 10+ years.
I don’t really understand the delineation between ChatGPT Work and Codex, especially in the Mac harness. I’ve asked ChatGPT Work before, and it’s told me I’m actually talking to Codex.
Almost every element and sound we like in modern music is the result of someone using technology in a way it wasn’t intended.
AI tools are so new that creatives are still using them as intended, which is why the results aren’t very interesting yet.

Most information is time-consuming, negative, irrelevant to your goals, and outside of your influence.
I regularly make the same point about AI music and art. We’ve been flooded with mediocre music and video, all fully created by humans. If AI improves the quality of human created art more generally, then it’s a win. Fully AI generated slop will go alongside the existing sea of fully human created slop. Not a lot new there besides volume.
