NYC not ready for AI hit to economy, comptroller Levine says

2 competing views:

West coast: 18 months, 100% of all white-collar jobs in NYC gone. Vaporized. And Wall Street shareholders will cheer that on. People are a pain. They actually want to be paid and take vacations.

East coast: The city lacks the fiscal cushion to weather the short-term job losses and sector-specific disruption AI could bring over the next three to five years.

They seem to be 2 very different views on the future of the NYC jobs market.

You may like this one. It's Scott Galloway's best, yes, he is a bit out there, gets lots wrong, a true zionist (i think he's softening on that), father, old guy, who says dumb stuff, but occasionally he says some things that are really brilliant. I think that's this podcast. At least for me.

I thought it was cool. I watched it twice, and I rarely do that.

Now that we have a lovefeast wth China, has any USA academic looked into teaching AI in China? I have a syllabus, and why not actually be there? Let's all work together now and move society forward! Suggested Universities to apply to? They seem to get AI. The USA? Not really.

Fox News SHOCKED By China's Tech Advantage

The news of the day, the Fox Mews viewership, [average age now 71] are blown away by the view from China, they really thought people were still in rice paddies and straw hats. The last real view of Asia for them was images from the Vietnam War, and they confuse that with today's Asia.

Of course, Vietnam today is Skyscrapers, Parda and Starbucks, that would be a bit too much for them to handle.

I have NO IDEA how you will debate this one. Speaking to a Trump supporter: We must suffer, raise the gas to $10 a gallon, that would be great, for we MUST suffer as Jesus suffered on the cross to get Heaven. The more we suffer under Trump the closer to God and Heaven we are.

I think he's going to get that 3rd term. The population has been brainwashed. And there is nothing you can do about it. He is their father now, he pulled it off. "If your father hits you with a belt growing up, that's only because he loves you."

There is ZERO chance of debate or sane discussion here. The country has gone insane.

Highly recommend this new podcast with Scott Galloway. One of his best. His claim, 1 out of 3 billionaires now has a fully ready-to-go escape plan for themselves and their families.

AI CEOs are selling us the dream of ‘freedom’, making billions off the fear of mass job loss! Scott Galloway reveals the truth is more complicated and far more deceptive.

Scott Galloway is an NYU Stern Professor of Marketing, entrepreneur, and host of The Prof G Pod and Pivot. He is known for breaking down the biggest shifts in business, technology, wealth, and culture. He is also the bestselling author of books such as The Four, The Algebra of Happiness, and Post Corona.

I have a portfolio of 28 dried pressed flower pages. The cover is dated 1888. They are really amazing to see, but also are brown, old, and many are broken. But broken, they are pretty amazing. Best place to offer these for sale? I really have no idea the value. Thanks.

Pristine, I see $10K on auction sites, they end up in museums. These are far from pristine. But even as they are, they seem to have a story. They are 138 years old.

I assume they must have some value to someone. It's been many years since people turned off their iPhones, headed into fields, picked flowers, looked up the Latin Names, labeled, bound, and saved them.

10 1/2 x 14 inches.

Thanks for any ideas. :-)

A bit of an AI war brewing here. Have been turning out web sites now since '94. 100s. I am now 100% AI. I'm loving it. I asked: What am I building? Tells me "I invented something new." But also that I'm neck with Einstein. I tell friends, "What happens if she is right?" My fan base is one. :-)

Everything is Open Source. Mod away, then I guess it's no longer AI at one point. It's all you.

"No Healthcare. Undrinkable Water | Millions of Americans are Living in Third-World USA." Think if you start cutting off millions of Veterans from food, healthcare, and it's God's will they die, it's going to get a bit dicey if they get themselves organized and head to DC . . .

I follow academia. There are several Ivy League academics who are saying, "the country needs a revolution", and they hang out at Yale and Harvard.

I wonder if they are looking at the current administration, "Maybe this is our chance?" This is it. We'll take a chance.

Thomas Jefferson would cheer this on, and Steve Bannon. Both are big into revolution for a country's survival and to move society forward. Even from the ashes of collapse, a new Phoenix does arise. Maybe a reboot, America 2.0, is closer than we think.

Apocalypse Early Warning System: In the event of an imminent nuclear apocalypse, we suspect that many people who have access to private jets will immediately take to the skies and escape city centers. This site tracks this indicator in realtime.

May come in handy.
