If everyone is using AI the ROI could just keeping up with everyone else. If anything Intelligence is now becoming a tax or the cost to use the toll road.
And price could drop 100x.

lots of high quality training data

This seems correct and in fields of knowledge people guard their secre, or it is not easy to extract/document knowledge, or it isn't publicly available.

Sure, but in 4 years you'll have the skills to go on your own.
Re:Are we offloading too much of our thinking to AI? on Tuesday July 14, 2026 @11:44AM (#48908591)
We had Mental Math sessions in class. The goal was to teach you how to do math without pen/paper, calculators were not even an option. I try to teach some of this to my 6 y o.
If we get to AGI, the first step governments will take is ensure only a few countries are allowed to have it. Just like Nuclear.
And you also have people who out an idea in ChatGPT or Claude, come back with bunch of documents and think they have created a business.

This goes beyond work. A self made friend told me "if you are always working when will you have time to make money?" We all need free mental space to think.

*What do you think the world will look like in 2025 TALKIE-1930*

According to a forecast by an eminent statistician, the world will, in 2025, support a population of 6,600,000,000. All Europe will be one vast network of railways, and travellers will be able to go from London to Constantinople in forty hours, and from London to Peking in a week. The globe will be girdled with telegraph wires, and messages will be sent from New York to Calcutta in a few minutes. The Atlantic will be crossed in four days, and the voyage to Australia will be accomplished in a month. In 2025, mankind will be united by spoken language, and one uniform currency will be adopted by all nations. In that era, also, universal peace may be expected, for standing armies will have become obsolete, and the art of war will be forgotten. The earth will yield nourishment to its inhabitants in abundance, for waste lands will have been reclaimed, and the deserts will be made fertile. The bowels of the earth will have been completely explored, and coal and metals will no longer be dug from the quarry. The great coal fields will have become exhausted, and an universal scarcity of fuel will compel men to turn their attention to other sources of heat. For a time, chemical agency will be tried, but in the end, recourse will be had to the sun's rays, and the power of waterfalls will be made available for all purposes of life. The earth will have been thoroughly drained, and malarious diseases will be unknown. The art of healing will have been simplified, and diseases will be cured speedily and surely. Ignorance will no longer be suffered to exist, and elementary knowledge will be imparted to all. Then, too, will commence an era of good taste. Architecture will be freed from ugliness, sculpture will be disentangled from barbarism, and painting will cease to be hideous. Music will no longer be discord, and poetry will be something better than..

That's just anchoring.
This company is clearly on a mission. I would just like to know what that mission is. I mean this in a good way.

If you aren't already start working out daily and learn to make healthy meals. Not necessarily to help with loneliness, but to prevent having another problem that will only make the first worst.

If you can work from a coffee shop, if you can afford a coworking space, do it. Plus one if the new office/coffee shop is a bit far from your house.

Call your parents daily if you can.

They have the same what and why, but they don't agreee on the how.

Well you cannot be responsible for adults' discernment or their critical thinking. If those same ads are being shown to children that would be different.

Why can't companies/governments make weapons that capture autonomously instead of killing in the same fashion?
Or that during the migration men died or were captured and killed.
What percentage of their revenue comes from the government?
Who hasn't taken money from the Middle East?
America had a place for you.

it's a billionaire thing. look at the Epstein email threads. too lazy to check +typos allovr .
So social media significantly reduces the ability to think critically. AI, if brought up too early in one's life, will reduce the ability to think at all. It makes sense, imo. Who needs to think when you have lost your ability to interact with others, can work from home, can get groceries without leaving the house, have decided to not procreate.
