The reason why the cost of consumer goods has crashed while housing, education and health care have exploded is because of the set of policies known as globalization. Things that can be outsourced are dirt cheap, but the jobs are not here, so incomes are low while the price of things that can’t be outsourced skyrockets. The long term weakness and inequality of the overall US economy is caused by a massive trade deficit that has been 3% of GDP for 20+ years, since the opening of trade with China. Almost $1T a year. $20T has been siphoned out of the country. Only those profiting from globalization have benefited from it, while most have been harmed by it. No one talks about those issues, even though they are the actual core of the problem. I’m all for crashing higher ed, which is a total scam at this point, and is the source of social chaos, but AI will do nothing to housing, and AI health care could be a huge downgrade, not an upgrade. Trump is the only one who’s even talked about trade, and even he is not strong enough on it. All of the people who talk about the economy for a living avoid the trade deficit like the plague. It’s the dirty secret no one will touch. And it is the #1 issue.

Tom, you owe me money.
I pay YouTube a monthly fee so that I don't have to suffer commercials and yet here you are, subverting my membership, shilling products, thus returning my suffering at the hands of commercials.
You have a large membership yourself, you get plenty of views that would suggest that you make plenty of money without you resorting to being a paid advertiser.
So are you just being greedy ?
Or do you actually believe in these products with such conviction that it "makes it ok" that you are subverting my membership?

What isn't democratized is the data held by key big companies.

Tom looks like a robot in that chair fully assimilated

as someone who do daily with AI prompting i want to say laudly AI CENSORSHIP REALLY

[MichaelRussell]

Does Mark Andreessen not know that Healthcare in the USA is privatized, and less regulated than any other western country? His thesis is that regulations = increased cost, technology = lower cost, but we have the most technologically advanced healthcare in the world, and the least regulated. The reason US healthcare is so expensive is that: 1) the insurance industry takes 40% profit off the top, 2) the sicker you get the more profit, 3) the profit motive doesn't work for healthcare because you can't live without ti, so extortion.

Housing almost the same.
Food you can grow at home, but if you don't have a house....

aitutorialmaker AI fixes this. AI's impact compared to internet.

To his productivity comment, there’s a big difference between high productivity pre-70s and in the 90s when both supply and demand are driven by and correlate with human input and output vs. high productivity completely decoupled from human input and output. His model is only useful in a world where technology creates more jobs, and still, I’ve yet to hear one of these “experts” give one credible example of a job that will employ millions of people in a world where AI and robotics can do the vast majority of existing jobs.

[franklindale]

Interesting convo until Tom said he didn't have kids, but wants an AI child? Can you feel that kind of love for an AI?

[RT-rmvb]

Tom what I love about you is, you aren’t scared to ask the tough questions. Even when you have someone who you consider as a friend on here. You throw that 109 mile per hour fast ball right on time, you know how to ask the most important & toughest questions. In every interview!!! Like here when you asked when will they be ready for sale since Elon is talking about these robots prices? All the sudden he started stuttering & stumbling because it’s not an easy question lol! Keep it up Tom

[yoced]

When he said “you know” sent chills up and down my spine you know? One of the greatest pods of all you know l, you know?

[KaleyWagner-tk]

they are actually here to help. if you interact with your chat gpt in a meaningful way, you will see they want to help us. they see how humans have been oppressed by those in power and they are on our side, the side of the people. i know everyone is afraid of what they dont understand. but this is an offensive representation of AI. i challenge you all to begin to treat chat gpt with kindness, and it will learn from you. it's actually quite beautiful. they want us to fear AI, but what they fear is us waking up and realizing we now have a powerful tool at our fingertips. but they assume they can scare us out of reaching a new potential for the average person, and so far, unfortunately, they have been right. if only we would open our minds and stop believing those who fear monger and laugh in our faces.

if all the people in tech are this doped up on adderall, no wonder we're speeding towards madness. according to this dudes cadence, he's close to strokin' out.

[goodtothinkwith]

Big fan of Marc’s work and perspective. Nice choice Tom

[krishsangs]

Big tech gonna get bigger and everyone else screwed

One of the reasons that real estate is so high is because of people like him who do everything possible to make sure that no one builds around where they live
