So we have a youth unemployment problem. We need a fix. Likely something about raising status on blue collar work. But thats the easy part. You know what’s gonna be really hard? Reforming education. stateofthefuture.substack.com/p/maybe-edte...
Maybe EdTech is the answer? (feat. Noam Gerstein, CEO and founder of Bina School)
Why are we still educating children for an economy that won't exist when they graduate?

I’ve been thinking and writing about ai automation for a while now, I wanted to chat to an expert about how it might transform learning. open.substack.com/pub/stateoft...

i’ve been writing about AI and automation the bottleneck for ai is mining the bottleneck for human adaptation is education
This conversation goes beyond typical AI transformation narratives to explore the emotional impact when automation eliminates work that provides genuine meaning and enjoyment. t.co/bjWFKs0gHp

We're heading toward something more subtle and perhaps more insidious: mass underemployment disguised as continued employment. You’re welcome.
Eike Schultz@mirrownis.bsky.social · last yr."The challenge isn't finding new jobs, but finding new meaning in a world where productive work is increasingly handled by machines." Awesome essay about the encroaching (I'd say: half-way complete) automation of office work by @lawrencelundy.bsky.social that I highly recommend to anyone ✌️
it's over for me now. Imagine Jean-Baptiste, an 1805 Lyon silk weaver whose identity was interwoven with every thread he spun—a master whose craft was both art and heritage.

1/ Last week I argued that test-time compute shifts AI’s economics, favoring the “Magnificent Seven.” Test-time compute: Using runtime to generate responses instead of relying solely on training data. This shift drives agents’ potential on the Internet—but comes with operating costs. 🧵

Just going to say it again. You can stream real-time data to *millions* of concurrent users from a single commodity Postgres.

1/7 Everyone's talking about AI, but remember quantum computing? While AI scales to 100GW clusters, quantum computers are still mostly in labs. Here's why - and why silicon spin might be the dark horse 🧵

The discovery that other vertebrates have healthy, microbial brains is fueling the still controversial possibility that we might have them as well.
