I've written a little essay on the Holy Spirit and the epistemic crisis we find ourselves in. Don't worry, I haven't gone Christian. But noticing that even the delusions of religion are at this point epistemologically more valid than many big institutions should worry atheists and theists equally.
Going to tell my Grandkids this was Gender
Goddamn, @edzitron.com . I was just vaping when I came to your "they call him clamuel" line and started laughing so hard that you made me actually almost lose consciousness because I fell into a coughing fit. Seriously not sure whether to say well done or be upset, but jesus.
That the world‘s most valuable people consistently don’t know shit about fuck seems rather odd at first. However, I do have a pet theory in this regard. If you‘d like to hear it it’s over on Substack.
ICE is moving forward.
I did that ten years ago. Not here yet are the people who have done it 30 , 40… and so on ago. It’s a long running tradition. Rich kids have always cheated and then run stuff.
Every ai booster believes that college is about doing homework. They think there’s a homework goblin that pays the colleges for their homework. Their dream is that they can have a machine that you can pay $75,000 to and receive a college degree from in four years.
Finally! (By Stephen Collins)

“Nah man but what about the cute little lady? She seems dangerous.”
COULD be interesting for planning , which is what it’s meant for after all. But seeing at what places they decided to NOT GO into specifics makes me also think it’s really an AI Booster study with window dressing. Which would make sense looking at the authors.
I do, but I still really appreciate the reference and seeing that this has obviously been a topic for some time. I mean, it really does make sense and it also makes sense to have a look at this specifically. To some extent I would even say that the Iceberg model if applied correctly
Thanks for the reference. "A novel methodology." (i.e. "We ask people: u use computa?")
indeed included. Since their skillset is derived from the O*net occupational profiles this would certainly include C-Suite. See for example here: www.onetonline.org/link/summary...
The skillset isn't listed anywhere, I've tried to find it. Also no list of the AI tools that they count. However, seeing how financials and administration are explicitly underscored a couple of times and management of workflows is something that they point out, I would assume that management is
That doesn't seem to be accurate. They have mapped the entire workforce, that would imply that the C-Suite _is_ mapped as well.
Damn. I knew that tool but it didn't occur to me that this is of course the implication. Thanks for that.
Thank you. :D I'd love to take credit for the line, however, it's from this bit here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-4i...
I thought @edzitron.com would probably see it anyway since it's as a reply to his post, but thanks for the additional encouragement. :) Glad you liked it. Always good to hear.
I... can't believe that that's the example. But sure. It does make sense to take that.
You may have seen this "MIT study" that allegedly (it really doesn't) claims that 11.7% of the US Workforce can be made obsolete with AI. While it doesn't say that, it's still horseshit. If you want to know why, I've written a short comment.
I've written a short comment regarding this new MIT study that is being passed around and why it is horseshit. "11.7% of US workforce is being replaced by AI" my ass. Thought that might be of interest. Also - thanks for all your work, you are one of the best resources out there.
The state of economic debate 2025
c) Anthropic lied as a cherry on top.
To be clear, as of now we know NONE of these things. (Or at least I don't.)
But I would be highly surprised if not at least 2 of the three turn out to be true, still surprised if it isn't all three.
Calling it now: as we learn more about the "Chinese hacking campaign" that Anthropic reportedly stopped, we will learn that
a) the extent is inflated in the report
b) the state-sponsored will turn out to be a very generous interpretation of the facts
I don't think we can act anymore as if we could criticise media in a vacuum - in order to save critical journalism, we will have to stick up even for fuck ups. I have written a little piece where I try to make a case for this.

Nachdem letzte Woche die WELT ihren KI Kongress in Berlin abhielt und ich das zweifelhafte Vergnügen hatte, mir ein paar der zugehörigen Videos auf Welt-TV angesehen zu haben, wollte ich das Ganze nicht vollständig unkommentiert lassen.
