And why would the chosen investment strategy be any different from what he already had…? Like, whoever he chooses to manage the trust is going to be aligned with whatever Carney’s preferred investment strategy is… and if that hasn’t changed, the portfolio is going to look quite similar. Adding an extra step where you cash out and buy back similar assets… it’s silly.
300 dollars a month is not even close to meeting a person’s cost of living.
He’s already holding his investments in a blind trust. If he CASHED out his blind trust, then what is he supposed to do?
We’re not quite there yet. Even with offsets by eliminating virtually all other social programs, including socialized healthcare, and slashing the size of military expenditures to almost nothing, doing every single good idea there is to fund it and increasing taxation on the owner class, there simply isn’t enought GDP to support it without spending your way into inflation… not unless you’re a country with a very small population rich in natural resources.
It’s plausible if we can bring the price of energy down to the point that it’s negligible and multiplies productivity almost for free.
We need scalable commercial fusion power to make it work, basically.
I agree with the goal,l. I don’t think people will contribute less without the threat of being unable to meet basic costs of living. I think a lot of people’s contributions to society aren’t adequately captured and recorded by our economic system.
But I’m not naive enough to believe that it can meet all of a person’s cost of living with current tech.
People have been using the API for cybersex for a long time now. I mean, I guess the public is surprised because they don’t even know what openrouter is.
I question the wisdom of actually attaching your brand to porn uses, but that’s rrally just a marketing problem for gis company. He isn’t introducing anything new to market. And you can’t really stop people from making their own ai sexbots if they havr API access and can write prompts.
Heinlen is a pompous twat that preaches his off-brand ayn rand ripoff philosiphy through shallow mary sue self-inserts that are never wrong, tell it how it is and are also perfectly competent, virile, have huge dicks and are somehow the most eminent philosiphers of their time. . His prose is juvenile, clunky, and artless . His characters are shallow and one dimensional. Worst of all, he just never stops ranting and preaching about the evils of communism.
It’s cold war era slop by mediocre propagandist who somehow became convinced of his own greatness.
If he cashes out of his investments, then what does PP expect him to do, hold a massive cash position, and eat inflation?
Blood and soil nationalism has nothing to do with economic reality, and everything to do with being born and raised into a serf-mindset. These kinds of people would be happier in abject poverty with a life expectancy of 40 so long as they never have to move or retrain, and their community is culturally homogenous.
Dumb labour tied to the land.
I’m pretty sure most people I meet ammount to nothing more than a collection of stolen thoughts.
“The LLM is nothing but a reward function.”
So are most addicts and consumers.
