Revising my résumé today, because I haven't been getting many interview offers from all of my applications.
If you know of any openings, I'd love to hear about them!
I'm in the Greater Boston area of MA, looking to coach and/or provide PD and/or write math curriculum. Or adjacent.

know how money works, inflation works, or, historically, how much money people make. It's really rather laughable.
This is the problem with people. The entire sum of human knowledge is at their fingertips, and they'd rather just... remain ignorant.

you either need universal basic income for humans or you must limit the use of Gen AI in such a way that humans aren’t radically impoverished as a result.
you cannot have both, both for morality reasons and also because this is the kind of thing that can result in globally-nightmarish conflict.

This seems more like an argument for universal basic income than for limiting technology. (I think both are probably futile in the current political environment, but I’d prefer the latter.)

I tend to agree with this. If AI works like its cheerleaders claim/hope it will - replacing whole swathes of human labour - then they need a real economic plan for dealing with the consequences of that. This can only mean heavily redistributing the profits.
