If the most advanced ie FSD by Tesla still does not come with gurantee and the human has to babysit it ie stay alert at all time so they can take over in a moments notice or less , then shouldn’t the positive results be also attributable to the humans that drive those autonomous vehicles?


Is it still an issue after Trump imposed a $100000 fee for h1-b applications?


Is what still an issue? This is from the article

> Using a novel cross-industry design and the 1999–2003 expansion of the H-1B visa cap for identification, we find that H-1B exposure raised incomes for natives and pre-existing immigrants, with gains concentrated in non-STEM occupations. Income gains propagate forward through supply chains to downstream industries but not backward to upstream industries, consistent with a productivity shock rather than a labor supply shock.


It doesn't matter yet because it hasn't actually happened: Trump's declaration was (unsurprisingly) another attempt to do something dictatorial, in particular usurping the power of Congress to create a tax, making the plan unconstitutional as well as illegal in some lesser ways.

At least for now, the US court system has correctly called that out, and has blocked the attempt because it's not something a legitimate President can do.

It seems the case is Californa v. Mullin, and the latest status is that his staff have filed an appeal (2026-06-12) asking a higher court to undo their loss.


The whole thing seems to depend upon AI agents objective ie to achieve some objective by any means possible and ignoring any guardrails. The article did not clarify if openAI had any guardrails to begin with while conducting this experiment. For all the talks around how much they invest in AI safety one would expect them to have these common sense guardrails in place or is it just a case of some school children letting their pet monkeys loose deliberately to display how awesome their monkey team is.


OpenAI didn't have any guardrails in place - they were training a model at a point much earlier than when guardrails start being implemented.

The guardrail was meant to be that the agents were running in a locked-down environment with no internet access. The entire problem came about because it turned out that sandbox didn't hold.


>For all the talks around how much they invest in AI safety

I wouldn't exactly trust OpenAI to invest in AI safety no matter how much they talk about it.

This is the way


No UBI is taxing the surplus productivity achieved by replacing humans with robots or AI AND redistributing it to all the citizens.


AI is just a technology, nothing fundamentally different from what has been happening for centuries.

Once AI is able to replace all human work, that's a new situation. But this is not happening in the next 20+ years.


Please add fixing neuro issues like autism add etc on the list. It creates a huge burden on families.


Idk, they never struck me as being into eugenics.

What the fuck man? I really don't want some tech startup trying to "fix" my neurodivergence.


Treating autism (and preventing it) is not eugenics. That's a talking point some folks raise, but we're talking about intensely pervasive autism, not neurodivergence. Really, please try to do better in your arguments than immediately saying your opponent is like Hitler.


In the span of just a few years, he went from nobody to a tech founder

- would this have been possible if Jim was not charismatic like the way the author described including being white, tall and being part of that fraternity.


Is he white? The author mentions "exotic-looking".


But it is more than just fun , it gives purpose to our existence … pardon me but it is idiotic to look at bringing up a child so objectively.


Yes, but I think we should separate human economic value from the true purpose of our existence. If AI can replace us in economically valuable tasks, we will have no choice but to do so. The economic value part should be looked at objectively.


What is the true purpose of our existence?


That is a very good question, perhaps without an objective answer. But it's definitely not a 9-5 job, at least for me.


Oh the caste system of the west
