Last Notes npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio “To make it a little more crystal clear, we borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.” - JD Vance, Vice President of the United States of America and complete asshat. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Love that term "slow AI" and agree it's a great model to understand corporations. [email protected] npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Yes, that sums it up entirely. Especially as people seem to be slaves to the corporation and their interests. Solid analogy. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I also (vaguely, cause I was young and have a memory like a hyperactive goldfish) remember a lot of people speaking out against this war both within and outside the US. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio JD Vance says Europe should have done more to stop Iraq War npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio "The paper clip problem" is a philosophical warning about how #AI could run amuck and destroy the world. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I am stoked to see the #Tesla selloff, keep using your economic power for good everyone! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Economic "shock therapy" reliably, *checks notes*, enriches oligarchs who scrap governments for parts like private equity feasts on the Red Lobsters of the business world. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Awesome, thanks for sharing that resource as well! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Very, very true. Bad incentives, worse outcomes. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I can't imagine it will get any easier to win, unless you have a spare $5 mil of course. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Yeah, I feel like many of us here on the fediverse fall into that category haha npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Want to see (or teach) how hard it is to get a US green card? This game does a good job showing why the green card acceptance rate is around 3%. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I know. I am very disappointed by the change and hope we get the message out to everyone who was planning on showing up. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio That would be a hell of a start! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I'm at an #economics #education conference, and just heard about the changes to the K-12 voluntary standards, and I've got some mixed news about them npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I appreciate the rec! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I'm in the US (Denver). npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio For instance, take this graph showing CO2 contributions by wealth. It's looking at individuals rather than countries, but it captures the relationship well. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio The graph you are showing is the "Environmental Kuznets Curve" (EKC) and it's an ongoing debate about how applicable it is. The answer depends heavily on what kind of pollution you are looking at and how you count it. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Yeah. It would be nice if Reagan fans saw them more often. It may change a few minds, eventually.. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Love it!! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Great visual of a pressing problem! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Something we can play around with for sure :) npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Happy to! Always happy to help answer an interesting question (and add another graph to my personal database 😉) npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio You are not wrong. I'll try to see if I can find a good graph showing that. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio It's got a nice sound to it :) npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Would rearranging it be weird? npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Yes, an easily downloadable data set of all the Tesla fatalities would make a great addition to my intro to stats class, why do you ask? npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I would want all teachers and students to know the costs of AI before making decisions to use it. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Found an interesting graph with absolutely no relation to current events on Wikipedia. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Means testing harms the mean household and is just plain mean, by design. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Capitalism's greatest trick was stealing so much of our time that we cannot imagine living without the 'conveniences' it sells back to us. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I've been on here a few years, probably time for an #introduction ! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Unhelpful. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio As tensions rise over protests and foreign policy, please remember we don't need to 100% agree to be on the same side. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Prevention is (almost always) cheaper than treatment, and homelessness does not break this rule. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I was today years old when I learned that US schools are more segregated today than they were in 1968.
