A lot of people complain about job loss in the “west” and I don’t really buy the concern. I think we will have transfer payments and former workers will be okay.

However, we never talk about minority groups in autocracies. Right now they’re sort of still tolerated because they offer a pool of labor and fully repressing them can cause unrest.

If their labor is no longer needed and if repression can be accomplished by AI. Are those groups just completely screwed?

If I was an unpopular minority in an undemocratic country, my 100% focus would be desperately trying to emigrate, because I truly do think things will get a ton worse for them.

The government basically has no benefits from keeping them alive anymore and only costs in an AGI world.

The bill adds a new law that makes having a job, at least 20 hours per week, a requirement for Medicaid-the government healthcare program for the poor.. There are exceptions such as caring for a young child, being in school, etc.).

Now when AI/Robots decimate the job market for most Americans and they are out of work- they won't even have access to basic medical care. This is huge. If you have 30% of people long-term unemployed, no savings or options (a realistic possibility)-- they are headed for disaster.

With no government backing, hospitals are just not going to deal with nonpaying customers. The only real protection Americans will now have is the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA)— which only requires to stabilize the patient before sending them on their way.

The timing of this bill is incredible.

Allen AI has released SciArena, which basically is like LMArena, except only *ACTUAL EXPERTS* (being 102 people who had ≥2 peer-reviewed publications and prior AI-assisted experience) voted on only scientific topics with rigorously fair eval methods

basically for science *o3 is still on top by a long shot* for more eval details:

Maximal fairness is enforced through a fixed multi-stage RAG pipeline (query decomposition, passage retrieval, re-ranking) adapted from Scholar QA, creating a controlled variable by using an identical retrieval index and prompt workflow for all competitors to purely isolate the model's contribution. To neutralize stylistic bias, long-form model outputs are algorithmically stripped of unique formatting and post-processed into a standardized plain-text format with consistent citation styles before being presented to voters in a blind, side-by-side interface. The resulting expert preference data is rigorously validated, demonstrating exceptionally high data integrity through strong self-consistency (weighted Cohen’s κ=0.91) and inter-annotator agreement (κ=0.76). This meticulous isolation of the LM from confounding architectural and presentation variables creates an uncorrupted, high-fidelity signal of core scientific reasoning capability, providing a true benchmark for advancing beyond superficial mimicry.

I have a great uncle who was born in September 11 1979 in the Russian SFSR. He grew up in Moscow and in the 1990s witnessed first hand the collapse of the USSR. One thing he constantly told me was how insane the crime was. In one point in the mid 90s Moscow had more murders than Latin American Ghettos.

He said that the state institutions had completely collapsed. The businesses were gone, there was massive unemployment and no tax base for the government to run itself.

There was tons of unemployed veterans who hired themselves out for contract killings. It was not surprising or strange to have people killed in broad daylight in Moscow's biggest areas.

The thing he kept mentioning was the lack of opportunity. Even people who could afford to feed themselves committed insane crimes because they were not happy feeding off scraps.

It's actually interesting because Russia tried a form of UBI in the 90s. When they privatized national factories they gave shares to the current and former employees so they could receive the profits. Similar to what some suggested could be done with places that laid people off with automation.

However this never worked in practice because everybody was so poor they turned around and sold their shares to gangsters for hard cash.

I wonder if the same thing will happen here? America already has some of the highest crime rates in the developed world now how bad do you think it will get with mass layoffs due to AI?

Seems like OAI are following the same playbook as before, model is not known.

https://phys.org/news/2025-07-bees-secret-super-efficient-ai.html

"By building a computational model—or a digital version of a bee's brain—researchers have discovered how the way bees move their bodies during flight helps shape visual input and generates unique electrical messages in their brains. These movements generate neural signals that allow bees to easily and efficiently identify predictable features of the world around them. This ability means bees demonstrate remarkable accuracy in learning and recognizing complex visual patterns during flight, such as those found in a flower.

The model not only deepens our understanding of how bees learn and recognize complex patterns through their movements, but also paves the way for next-generation AI. It demonstrates that future robots can be smarter and more efficient by using movement to gather information, rather than relying on massive computing power."

Open source is definitely catching up but it always just cathing up,never really advances

Original Title: Emad Mostaque says "for any job you can do on a screen, an AI will probably be able to it better, faster, and cheaper by next year." You'll interact with them the same way you do your remote team members, via Zoom or Whatsapp - and you won't be able to tell they're AIs.
