EnochWalked: www.yourtango.com/sekf/berkeley-professor-says-even-outstanding-students-arent-getting-jobs "Berkeley Professor Says Even His ‘Outstanding’ Students With 4.0 GPAs Aren’t Getting Any Job Offers — ‘I Suspect This Trend Is Irreversible’" Nov 19, 2024 7:38:23 GMT -6
EnochWalked: "He concluded that this was happening because of an irreversible trend that is also part of a broader issue that's impacting almost every job seeker in every area." "postings for software development jobs have been down more than 30% since February 2020" Nov 19, 2024 7:39:55 GMT -6
EnochWalked: The article doesn't seem to offer a suggestion for what has suddenly caused this problem. Maybe it's inflation, which might not be as much of an issue next year, but we have to consider that the cause is automation / AI. That will only get more powerful. Nov 19, 2024 7:43:33 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/us-government-commission-pushes-manhattan-project-style-ai-initiative-2024-11-19/ "China is racing towards AGI ... It's critical that we take them extremely seriously,". The new arms race. Nov 19, 2024 19:05:52 GMT -6
EnochWalked: For reference, the Manhattan Project was active for 4 years, with the atomic bombs dropped in the 3rd year. If the Manhattan Project for AI starts some time next year, then that would suggest AGI by 2028. The paper by Aschenbrenner suggested AGI by 2027. Nov 19, 2024 19:11:25 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-829906 "Drowning in drones, Israel turns to Ukraine for expertise. Israeli companies seek Ukraine’s expertise to counter Iranian kamikaze drones." An interesting choice of words. "Drown" is suggestive of "Flood". Nov 20, 2024 5:34:04 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.technologyreview.com/2024/11/20/1107002/clear-airport-identity-management-biometrics-facial-recognition/ "The company that has helped millions of people cut security lines wants to give you a frictionless future — in exchange for your face." Nov 20, 2024 8:58:07 GMT -6
EnochWalked: "Now you can also use its identity verification platform to rent tools at Home Depot, put your profile in front of recruiters on LinkedIn, and, as of this month, verify your identity as a rider on Uber." All without any chip being injected. This is it. Nov 20, 2024 8:58:55 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.dw.com/en/switzerlands-ai-jesus-answers-questions-of-faith/video-70737962 "Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing religious life at a small church in Lucerne, Switzerland, where a virtual Jesus is caring for the concerns... of the faithful" Nov 20, 2024 10:48:17 GMT -6
EnochWalked: scitechdaily.com/new-ai-tool-tracks-your-steps-by-reading-the-bacteria-you-carry/ "University’s mGPS AI tool traces recent locations based on microbial signatures, aiding forensics and epidemiology by linking bacteria to specific geographic origins" Nov 20, 2024 10:51:56 GMT -6
EnochWalked: drivesncontrols.com/schaeffler-plans-to-deploy-humanoid-robots-in-plants-around-the-world/ "We are excited to welcome Schaeffler as a customer and investor" "scaling the use of humanoid robots will require them to work cooperatively with humans" Nov 20, 2024 11:01:27 GMT -6
EnochWalked: Also Schaeffler: www.just-auto.com/news/schaeffler-layoff-employees-in-europe/ "the job cuts will result in a gross reduction of about 4,700 positions" "The majority of these measures are scheduled to be implemented between 2025 and 2027." Nov 20, 2024 11:02:33 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.nj.com/politics/2024/11/is-trump-trying-to-kill-us-authoritarian-expert-says-yes.html "There are 5 key areas that authoritarians want to control when they attempt to decapitate a democratic state" "the goal is to... create chaos— and yes, death" Nov 20, 2024 14:20:51 GMT -6
EnochWalked: kyivindependent.com/secret-russian-plan-sees-ukraine-cut-into-3-parts-intelligence-source-confirms/ "Russia may try to convey to U.S. leadership its plan for a new world order up to the year 2045". "undermine U.S. power over global transactions" Nov 21, 2024 5:46:07 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/11/21/australia-proposes-32m-fine-for-social-media-firms-flouting-under-16s-ban "The country plans to trial an age-verification system that may include biometrics or government identification". Which applies to everyone. Nov 21, 2024 5:55:20 GMT -6
EnochWalked: "And in Florida, in the United States, children under 14 will be banned from opening social media accounts under a new law due to come into force in January." Only banned from registering? So a child just has to use a VPN once, at registration time? Nov 21, 2024 5:59:47 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.ynetnews.com/article/sym6v45gjg "'Water is more precious than gold here': Turkey's strikes on Syria's Kurds cut water supply to 1 million" "leaders accuse Turkey of attempted 'genocide' while legal experts suggest strikes may constitute crime" Nov 21, 2024 6:35:35 GMT -6
EnochWalked: x.com/uapjames/status/1859390108627238950 'Rep. Nancy Mace has discussed UFO Disclosure with incoming Trump Administration officials. "Some kind of controlled disclosure, you don’t have to say everything, but the American people... deserve answers"' Nov 21, 2024 6:43:00 GMT -6
EnochWalked: data.bls.gov/timeseries/JTS000000000000000LDR Since the start of 2021, the "Layoffs and discharges" rate has hit 1.2 on only 3 occasions: Jan-2023, Mar-2023, and Sep-2024 (which is the most recent month for which there are data). 3/45 months. Nov 21, 2024 7:37:27 GMT -6
EnochWalked: So next month we may see if 1.2 is the "new normal" (actually a reversion to the levels seen before the pandemic), or if the numbers are starting to creep up. Ignoring 2020, the level only reached 1.4 twice in the past 10 years (both in 2015). Nov 21, 2024 7:42:04 GMT -6
