I normally like Kohler’s column when he unpacks economic news, but when he digresses into tech topics, I’m less likely to read him. I did this time (because things may change after all) but all I got from it is GenAI KoolAid and vaguely hinted at problems that #TechBros are keen on glossing over.
It is a pity that the author is not turning his analytical mind to take a closer look at what the frenetic pace of #GenAI development and the #GenAISlop it splashes about the place as it inexorably pushes forward with not only #TechnicalDebt but also #CognitiveDebt laden implementations. Sooner than we think, we’ll be faced with problems we do not know how to solve for want of the ability to #FaultFind in a sea of #sloppy and #incomprehensible machine produced code mashups.
Where to an economy held hostage to runaway coding machines? The ‘wagering system’ that is the stock market will start to look like ‘doctored’ one-arm bandits of yore. Where the wealth will flow is very obvious.

Why just artists, though? Why not #UniversalIncome for All? #UBI
"Inventing the Future" by Nick #Srnicek (2015) is a political and philosophical journey leading to 3 mutually-reinforcing demands:
1. Full automation
2. Universal basic income
3. Reduced work-time
Automation is great when its rewards are shared: the Luddites protested not the machines, but the concentration of capital.
It seems there's not been a better occasion to demand full automation - many are doing that already.
Now is the time to agitate for #UBI and reduced work-time (again.)

the 'plastic gov't debit card' would also be a great vehicle for providing the citizenry with their universal basic income.

How genuinely pathetic is this behavior? #billionaires would rather move elsewhere instead of paying a tax to support #healthcare for the #poor in #California - they would rather #profit from #stock #gains by spending #billions on #AI #genai - when they talk of #UBI - beware - they will not help a single person who loses their #job to AI
focused more on the #ReverseWordle clues than the #WordlePoetry 😁
