  2. @dacig a summary of what I think AI will impact:
    * objective of AI: increase dollar value capture through automation of tasks replacing human work activity

    * human tasks using LANGUAGE will be hit first. Software creation is being impacted now.

    * in some time in the future, tasks that use or output language will be automated using higher level instructions (detailed design specifications, test assertions and output verification)

    * because software is eating the world, every task using software will be impacted by AI in both speed to market and breadth of scope.

    * as the AI allows more difficult problems to be described, more specialised software can be made.

    * human work that requires co-ordination b/w people (middle management, comms) will be removed and impacted as tasks reduce head count.

    * human work requiring physical activity will be (future) eaten by specifically trained humanoid robots (car makers)

    Now I caveat all of the AI replacement trajectory with cost. If replacement of work costs more than workers, this will collapse the AI market. This will delay, but not stop AI replacing humans and will be limited by the “effectiveness of Large Language Models” and cost.

    So the Oligarchy class want what I call #ZeroHourWork for the #WhiteCollar and try to replace #BlueCollar workers. The Q I ask is, is AI now Stephensons Rocket in the Age of Steam? 🚂

  3. We encourage listening not just to 7-mins but entire 35:26 interview by Steve Inskeep of #NationalPublicRadio w/ Governor Spencer Cox at Western Governors Conference, for Nov 25 #NPR npr.org/2025/11/25/nx-s1-56153

    On USA social change 31:56-35:26.

    On Artificial Intelligence 24:46- 31:50— a snippet @ 30:49:
    “We’ve gotten into this mode, I’d say on both the right and left, where we’ve become subservient to technology. Instead of technology serving us, we’ve become slaves to the #technology. And I think that’s going to happen with #AI if we’re not very careful….We’ve started an AI policy lab in Utah, it’s the #first of its kind anywhere in the world, where we have experts now, in the government, working directly with the companies, to make sure their products are safe, passing legislation that gives them a safe harbor so that they can do what they wanna do, as long as it protects our #people.”

  4. For the first time since 1986, #Philadelphia #AFSCME DC 33 is going on #strike. The #union represents thousands of #bluecollar city workers (including street pavers and sanitation workers) and is the city’s largest—and lowest paid— #municipalworkers union.

    The strike will begin at 12:01am on July 1st.

  5. Empathic Business Consulting should become a mainstream reality. As an empathically open person it would be interesting to be on retainer for corporate clients in business course direction and improving the work of HR departments being humane.

    I know so many people that work for companies where the employees suffer the ego issues of those above them and the fallout effects the businesses company wide in the end.
