AI girlfriends are ruining an entire generation of men
And that is just health care. In 1940, there were 42 workers per beneficiary of Social Security. Today, there are only 2.8 workers per beneficiary, and that number is getting smaller. We are going broke, and the young men who will play a huge role in determining our nation’s future are going there with AI girlfriends in their pockets.
While the concept of an AI girlfriend may seem like a joke, it really isn’t that funny. It is enabling a generation of lonely men to stay lonely and childless, which will have devastating effects on the U.S. economy in less than a decade.

Human brain too big to map so they’re starting with mice
Would hope this means we dont Need to reverse engineer and are done w/ the brains of insects. From here, id like to see done in about following order, reverse engineer brains of: 1. Mice, 2. Lab Rats, 3. Crows (small brains, but supposedly smarter than chimps) 4. Octopi, 5. Pigs, 6. Chimps, and 7. and end on the human brain. Would hope we can do work on each in the build up to human brains, mainly tec it will require to reverse engineer all mentioned. Maybe it leads no where, or maybe we need it all to solve Agi. Also, aim for completion by 12/31/2029. Wanted to add, i believe should be an international effort: US, Canada, EU, Israel, Korea, Japan, etc… instead of just being a US project.

Stanford’s new microchip could put powerful AI on your devices
Aside from faster results, edge computing has the added benefit of increased privacy: If your health information never leaves your wearable, you don’t have to worry about someone else intercepting it — or interfering with it — en route.
So why do we run these apps in the cloud, instead of locally? The problem is that wireless devices have limited processing power and battery — to run a more advanced and energy-intensive AI program, you may have to turn to huge servers in the cloud.
A Stanford-led team has now unveiled NeuRRAM, a new microchip that could let us run advanced AI programs directly on our devices.
Google Launches Free & Paid Generative AI Training Courses
Google has introduced a range of training resources centered on generative AI.
Two comprehensive learning paths are now available on Google Cloud Skills Boost.
An “Introduction to Generative AI” path contains introductory, non-technical courses suited for sales, marketing, HR, and operations roles.
Can a new Luddite rebellion rise against Big Tech? ‘We’re in a place where trouble could find us pretty quickly,’ author says
Not all wages are bad. If you’re a doctor or nurse you can earn decent. Even a PC tech can earn around $24 an hour or more and cyber security 100k and if you are an engineer you can earn a lot. If you work in a gas station however you won’t earn much. If you are in assembly not much either. It takes skills to earn money. Plus the politicians determine the wages too, it’s not all on big tech. Some tech companies pay more than others of course but knowing AI will increase your wages. They have courses on ChatGPT online now. Even if you run a farm you earn the most money. They’re afraid of progress or I dunno what. Yes we proceed with caution but it’s not like we stop. China won’t nor Russia nor the Middle East etc and even if we’re not in conflict we’ll be left behind.
New book re-examines textile workers’ uprising against the use of technology to erase jobs centuries ago in light of similar problems stemming from AI.
Fourier and Tesla show off impressive humanoid robot progress
As Tesla’s Optimus robot shows off new capabilities in pick ‘n’ place sorting and one-legged yoga balancing, Singaporean company Fourier Intelligence has released new video showing the production process for its super-strong GR-1 humanoid.
Fourier claims the GR-1 can carry up to an extraordinary 50 kg (110 lb) of weight, thanks to a particularly beefy pair of robo-buttocks in the form of two 300-Nm (221-lb-ft) hip actuators.
Its arms and hands, though, look pretty spindly, and the company has flagged its intention that this robot will act as a rehab therapy assistant, with grab handles at its waist to help people stand up out of wheelchairs and beds. So there’s every chance that’s where these loads will be carried.
