Trump / Vance said, it's too hard to do it right. But is that even the point?

What crimes, assuming due process & evidence, justify locking someone up *indefinitely* in a foreign concentration camp?

How many of those now at cecot have been convicted of those acts?

Keyword density. Did you know it was a thing, #BookSky?

I've done a lot of different jobs in my life, but I'd always stayed away from the dark arts of SEO. Now I'm learning.

Manus #AI is my teacher. I gave it my ad data from the free eBook weekend, the existing description & keywords...

Writing a book is a lonely experience. We all need to bounce ideas around and we all need feedback, but do our friends and family have the time? Or the background?

That was why I used AI. I asked ChatGPT nearly 500 questions for The Last Job and I had Manus AI review the finished book.

I had an interesting day, walking the streets of NYC handing out flyers for my book. Although the vast majority didn't want a flyer, people were really polite about it.

I had some great conversations, most of them with younger adults. They're the ones who have to figure it out so it was encouraging

#AI is about to eliminate millions of jobs but don't just take my word for it. Gates, Altman, Musk, The IMF, Pew - have all said the same.

Believe them.

If you want to get ahead, start at thelastjob.com

So #BookSky, my #ebook is #free this weekend. Find out how we got here and what we can do.

Please, take this opportunity to inform yourself. Your job, your livelihood, our economy, our future - AI could take it all if capitalism is left unchecked.

You cannot sit back with AI. You must drive it or you will be run over by those who do.

Governments won't solve this. We must.

OpenAI's latest funding round valued them at $300bn. Their investors are betting that in the future, your employer will pay OpenAI instead of you.

This Medium piece does a nice job of explaining the marginal pricing theory behind it.

We cannot sleepwalk into the future with #AI and we cannot allow ourselves to be distracted by the misinformation. There are good outcomes, but we need to make them good. We are on a dark path right now.

So please, for many reasons, give the book a try. Thanks for your consideration.

I was given access to Manus AI yesterday. It is different from ChatGPT - #Manus is very task oriented, so I gave it the task of writing a review of The Last Job.

What is #ArtificalIntelligence? How does it work? What can it do? What can't it do? How smart is AI really? What would an #LLM score in the SAT?

The Last Job is a book about #AI, written with AI to show that it is capable of eliminating millions of jobs.

Is there a #FutureOfWork?

How did the Internet dream end up being this nightmare? How did news become noise? What happened to our Institutions and our experts? How did our politics become so tribal?

Was this an accident, or something engineered to distract us?

What are these distractions conceiling?

So #BookSky - I used #AI to write a book. If that's a cardinal sin, that's why this book is important. AI is coming for your job as well as everyone else's.

The Last Job is both the problem and the solution. It shows what AI can do but it also shows what we can do, working with and guiding AI.

If denial is your thing, scroll now.

If you want honesty, read my book. I wrote it with #AI and I let it really show off. It can do big chunks of your job right now. Not in 5 years. Right now.

I hope that any judge is smart enough to see the slippery slope here. A test case that grants sweeping powers to imprison (without trial, in El Salvador) any foreign national that Trump declares an enemy.

I agree with Trump.

Maybe the Biden / Garland DOJ should be prosecuted, but not for the reasons he states. We all witnessed an insurrection on 6th Jan 2021, live on TV.

The fact that Trump was never held accountable *was* criminal.

Dem Rep Jasmine Crockett shows great passion but also a firm understanding of Real Facts and Undeniable Truth. Russia invaded Ukraine - fact.

The world changed today. King Trump, Musk, Prince JD and the Bros (Don Jnr, Eric and Barron) have thrown out 100 years of US leadership in 1 month.

It will never be the same after the meeting in the Oval Office.
