    @elonmusk @TwitterBlue
    CAUTION: The pace of feature change at Twitter is too slow to prevent competitors and market fragmentation from sapping the platform – and we need a public ‘debate’ platform.
    The emphasis on truth and transparency is good.
    The need for a TruthChatAI is increasing and will provide competitive advantage against the woke mobs.
    The need for organizing and styling content (tweets, posts, articles, documents) is obvious and not challenging.
    The need for branding the individual and business profiles, including images, videos, and ORGANIZING them is there, simple, and obvious.
    The need for private groups is increasing, and easily available.
    Please don’t leave the new market-siezing features until AFTER you’ve solved the hard problem of content and bots. You’re just slowing your revenue growth. This isn’t Ebay, Tesla, SpaceX or Boring where competitors are slow and weak legacies. Competition can move faster.
    (And yes I’ve bought and reformed tech companies with code-disasters and I understand the problem.)

    I guess we’ve reached the point where we will need to defund and close libraries for going woke. And I can see that happening rapidly and spreading as quickly as parental involvement in school boards.

  • Sketch: 0) End the DOE. Experiment instead. End tenure. Minimum age between teac

    Sketch:
    0) End the DOE. Experiment instead. End tenure. Minimum age between teachers and students. Taching requires only 1yr of basic training and 2yrs of on the job training as an assistant in the classroom. Require demonstrated life competency of teachers. And make pay competitive. We want people from biz, industry, and middle management to ‘move’ into teaching if at all possible.
    1) Teachers run the schools, period. Market determines if teachers survive market demand by parents. (historical norm).
    2) “Teach the whole person” especially fitness, mindfulness, manners, ethics, morals, norms, rituals and why.
    3) Separate the sexes again, and teach boys under adversarialism and girls under approval.
    4) Used mixed ‘grade’ classrooms (One room schoolhouse) to accomodate even more differences.
    5) Increase number of teachers (12 students)
    6) Allow groups, races, whatever, to sort by their ‘own’, and teach a cirriculum that suits their rate and depth of development. In other words, produce a market for competitive education.
    7) German model of kids in workforce as soon as possible.

    Basic problems are due to external consequences of education legislation. We teach kids as if they are equal rather than individuals. They need tutors not professors.

    Much more.
    That’s enough of a sketch.

  • SC: I just don’t see it. We were at the end of extraction of opportunity from no

    SC:
    I just don’t see it.

    We were at the end of extraction of opportunity from not only the internet, but from smart phones. In fact, we’ve been misdirecting capital away from reforming the 1980s technology that has imprisoned us in the network effect of the desktop-laptop and file systems. Even the browser tech is perpetuating terrible software, and much costlier development that’s only a trade off vs cost of distribution and installation.

    So far the prmary value of openai is in increasing the productivity of spam production – although code improvement is certainly helpful.

    Yes we are in the initial stages, but you can’t, we can’t, extrapolate a curve.

    If your startup biz is threatened by openai, it was never a good business anyway. (And really, most startups aren’t good businesses, and they’ll crash soon under the current correction, just as they bad ones did in 2001.)

    That said, we are fascinated by the rapid progress of what is a simple technology made possible by advancements in processing power. But having been through a sequence of AI winters in my life, and while I see promise arising, the fact that we can produce the equivalent of slightly better search results, but with no logical consistency, is more of a novelty that will result in increases in spam, marketing, and other tribvial content competing for our increasingly scarce and shallow attention.

    And the fact that they’re teaching it to lie under cover of ‘alignment’ only means that the research into telling lies is progressing faster than research into telling the truth with some degree of logical consistency.

    Cheers.
    Sorry to counter-signal but I can’t find a use for openai or any other group’s work so far, other than code completion.

  • REBUILDING THE UNIVERSITY AS PREPARATION FOR ASSISTANCE IN OPERATION, GOVERNMENT

    REBUILDING THE UNIVERSITY AS PREPARATION FOR ASSISTANCE IN OPERATION, GOVERNMENT AND RULE
    We will ‘literally’ have to rebuild a university system that teaches the logics, grammars, natural law and the legal spectrum, the economic spectrum from behavioral to political, and political spectrum from government, to institutions, to war.

    Because for all intents and purposes Harvard, Yale, Stanford and their lesser peers, largegly teach SEDITION against the science of all of the above.

    The study of law, even at our best institutions – or maybe, especially at our best institutions, is literally the organized destruction of our civilization from within using the marxist-to-woke seditions, positive law, and systematic lawfare, that takes avantage of a half dozen holes in our constitution and the benevolent optimism of our high trust trifunctionalism that only a tiny fraction of us understand, our christian religion whose weakness only a few of us understand, our post-hoc common law the luxury of which few understand, and the democratic process of our republican government, which again, very few understand.
