Three of the best things to do right now related to personal cybersecurity: 1) keep all your apps and OS (computer and phone) up to date and turn on automatic updates; Amazon had OS update requirements for employees where they would shut off your systems if you were running old OS, treat it that way 2) set up 2FA/MFA and prioritize passkeys/biometrics (ie Face ID and fingerprint); second choice is authenticator app; last resort is text confirmation code and at this point, I would consider that not safe enough 3) ask codex or claude code to run a diagnostic on your personal apps and systems including public-facing artifacts (ex: website), all apps in use, api keys, etc. ask it to do research on what is happening in the world with AI attacks + don’t just review your most common apps, review ALL and ask what to do/walk you through it step by step

⚡️By 2040, humanity’s greatest problem will be the loss of its economic leverage over the systems that sustain it. For all of history, power depended on people. Kings needed soldiers. Corporations needed workers. Governments needed taxpayers. Even the most powerful institutions had to negotiate with the populations whose labor kept them alive. AI and robotics are beginning to break that dependency. When machines can perform most intellectual and physical work, the owners of productive infrastructure gain something no ruling class has ever possessed at scale: the ability to generate enormous wealth with diminishing dependence on human participation. That changes the balance of power at its foundation. A population whose labor is no longer essential loses one of its strongest instruments of negotiation. Even extraordinary material abundance cannot compensate for the disappearance of meaningful agency. The central struggle of the AI age will be whether humanity retains control over a civilization that increasingly no longer requires its participation to function. And that leads to the most consequential question of 2040: What happens to human freedom when the people controlling the world’s productive machinery no longer need the consent of those who depend on it?

Americans are getting more pessimistic about their finances, per the New York Fed. More households say they’re worse off than a year ago, and more expect to be worse off a year from now.

2 years from now you will not work you and will not worry about money you will get your cash payments from from all the major AI labs think of it like 3-5 companies giving you a thousand dollar check every week

Not sure who needs to hear this but.... An LLM doesn't "understand" anything. It is a statistical model that spews out tokens based on probabilities calculated through massive matrix operations and context, not an understanding of the subject matter.

This is the atomic bomb for remote workers. Good luck trying to convince anyone you are real when this goes mainstream. The second order effects for white collar jobs are not priced in.

The thesis took me about a week after ChatGPT 4.0 came out to think through this one. Thought I'd visualize it for reference later

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
