Right now in America we are struggling. It seems that people are most interested in taking everything they can out of the system for themselves.
People taking social security disability and medicare and unemployment benefits who are perfectly able to work are the biggest group.
Corporations on government subsidies and protections get even more money than individuals taking government benefits.… read more “Special Interests Destroying America”

Watch the video of making a rocketship. If what OpenAI portrays here is truly how effective the Codex tool is, full general AI is here.
What happens next: humans have replaced using humans as slaves with using fossil fuels to do that work. But fossil fuels are limited and inefficient. Machines will now use humans as efficient, green, cheap, replaceable slaves.

Good movie, but not a fair reflection of history.
My guess is that such a high percentage of Americans are businessmen, that we have a significant advantage in logistics. A lot of war is simply getting a force concentration superior to the enemy at the right place at the right time. American merchants have mastered this, and even though the American military is much less efficient than private enterprise, it is still superior to foreign armies without that experience.… read more “Why is America good at conventional warfare?”
