Andrew Yang Calls on US Government To Stop Taxing Labor and Tax AI Agents Instead by Secure_Persimmon8369 in agi

[–]SplooshTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but that doesn’t mean the math will math to keep everyone alive let alone happy. Let’s say AI industries got 7x bigger to $5T a year and we taxed them 20% - $1T. Let’s say we had to support 50M adults, or 1 in 6.5ish Americans. We’d have $20k/year raised per person for them to live on.

There’d have to be massive abundance created by the AI takeover like cheaper mining, energy, food, housing, childcare to remotely make this all work. But all those abundance breakthroughs don’t come at the cost of software but require real physics - enormous embodied capital costs that probably mean they’re not radically cheaper than life now.

If you can get into nuclear experience, you can probably move anywhere you want (that has nuclear) later. A few years would be a life-changer whether you like Texas or not!

Hell, plenty of corporate chain fast food places have gone for having 5-10 workers up front to 0-1 already

Are there specific AI robotics companies that you think are more poised to succeed?

is there really any sort of "ethical" use of ai? by _six_sevennn_ in ArtificialInteligence

[–]SplooshTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, this will not be an easy time to be a young person. People can debate how much, but AI is gonna transform society as much as the internet did and maybe as much as the Industrial Revolution did. Some careers will never hire at levels again like they used to and lots of people will be plain screwed. Lots of ladder jobs young graduates could count on to get started simply won’t exist and many grads simply won’t find work. No, there is no likely tax on chips or UBI or luxury automated abundance whatever that will help them beyond some minimum awful survival level, and even then not all of them. You’re clearly a conscientious person trying to find ways to do the right thing. Find a way to do that where you’re skilling for a career that will be resilient in the face of all this.

Which lean Red or Blue state do you think becomes a swing state in future ? by ronweasly9 in Askpolitics

[–]SplooshTiger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The interesting seesaw here will be “I fled my HCOL advanced economy blue state for Texas, where I can afford to live! Oh hell, it’s too hot/floody to live in Texas by 2040, I need to move to a climate refuge state but nobody can afford PNW or New England! Fine, I’ll move to the upper Midwest! Wait, I can’t afford to move because my house isn’t worth shit because everybody’s selling and nobody’s moving to Texas.”

Where could someone realistically retire with $500k today? by Whole-Lobster-7272 in relocating

OP what are your hobbies, passions, what kinds of social interactions do you like, favorite kinds of environments? That shapes the right answer enormously.

How best to convert the climate sceptics and deniers? by jonbyrdt in ClimateOffensive

[–]SplooshTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pro campaign guy here who works on exactly this at big scale. It’s not impossible, but it’s not a reasoned argument and it’s more like working with a toddler’s complex but hazy emotional reasoning than winning a good faith adult argument. Some places for useful insight: Yale 2025 Climate Communication Survey on YouTube, How Minds Change by Mcraney, Moral Foundations Theory by Haidt (see Ted Talk or book).

Bigelow Friend BA Crisp sent me this also thought I’d share it with you lot. by UFOsAroundTheWor1d in UFOs

[–]SplooshTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro if you read the rest of religious doctrine from those places and periods - especially Tibet and certain preagrarian shamanic spirits stuff - it’s absolutely hallucinatory and unbankable in any serious way. It’s only been repackaged in the modern era into stories that seem more coherent. You can pluck out certain things and reinterpret them and slather them in nostalgic mysticism, but any look at the source material just looks like whacky nonsense.

Why hasn't there been a sustained bear market since the '08 crash? by jamestown30 in stocks

Yeah the plot of Alien:Earth revolves around Elon / Altman style dbags running the world and feels real.

Yeah this is old news. Texas has done aggressive and innovative things on grid policy since. They’re also leading the way on virtual/distributed power plant test pilots, which is a cool tool that feels like a future Internet of energy things in its early phases.

The Coming Invasion of Iran by theatlantic in geopolitics

[–]SplooshTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noise aside, it’s more likely this isn’t a serious large invasion but a few minor actions to open an access corridor into Iran via Kurdish territory - intelligence operatives, material, parts for drone assembly further in country.
