Biological Bloat.

What is the ultimate objective for an ai based future? Remove enough cognition from the system without it collapsing. 

Without the advancements of technology, humans would be left shipping scrolls by bird, asking for directions, and walking to the nearest destination. 

At what point do we begin to question the validity of these advancements? Perhaps when spend becomes a by product of a bloated workforce. The workforce then being seen not only as unnecessary, but incompetent. Because why else would you substitute humans for machines? Because you assume the machines can do it better, faster, and don’t have a complaint mechanism within their capabilities. 

Now we dive deeper into the possibility of manufactured creativity. Because bots program unintentionally. It’s the human that has an agenda. The technology is just a tool. Yet and still, even tools need to be used according to their intended purpose. 

Average Idiots Part 2.

1). Too much ai usage is like getting a mental BBL. 

2). Studies show confidence in ai usage creates lower critical thinking skills. (1). 

3). Focus on reading real books. Thinking real thoughts. Writing real summaries, passages, and insights based on your experience of processing information and data. 

AI = Average Idiots.

Ai is the future…for developing average idiots. Why might this be the case? 

Before the use of chat bots, and google searches, one had to use their ability to read, think and write (in that order). The main component of the three? Thinking. Thinking requires active retrieval (using your damn brain to find, question, organize, and understand information). 

Due to the invention of advanced technologies such as ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and Gemini, (not to mention google search) the purpose of thinking has lost its value, and ironically its actual purpose. 

There are many studies that suggest, heavy usage of ai, plus confidence in that ai lead to lower critical thinking skills (1). The opposite being, a person with high confidence, possessing higher critical thinking skills (1). 

Allow me to simplify this: lots of AI chat bot use might make you dumber over time. 

There is research to show this to be true. (Immediately prompts an LLM to verify such findings). What are the risks involved in heavy ai usage? Losing your ability to make decisions and solve problems. 

Allowing the creators of these bots to indoctrinate us into a world wide state of stupidity. The catch? The addictive chemical reaction to any ai generated prompt after you input a question, or personal experience, getting a rapid and instant reply. Does this mean all ai is inherently bad? Not necessarily. 

However, there should have been far more regulatory oversight in place. Especially in connection to the younger demographic of people who are and will be born into a full life cycle of ai and LLM usage.

 It will be far more interesting to observe over time, what adults will be like 20 years from now, that heavily depend upon chat bots for their most pressing issues.

The Rise of AI & The Fall of Human Intelligence.

If technology advances enough, people will have too much convenience. This will lead to more mental laziness. People will stop thinking for themselves, because AI will do it for them. If you can’t think critically, you can’t make sound decisions. The people assigned to make those decisions for you will have no intention of helping you. You’ll get dumber over time. Life will turn into the scene in iRobot with Will Smith, when every robots chest-light turns red. They end up locking people in their homes for safety reasons and using force when the people try to escape. It might not play out like that in real life, but from a neurological perspective, it’s already happening. 

Instagram “Traders”.

Once again, I get a message on Instagram about some trader trying to convince me to join his course. It drives me nuts because half of these people or bots don’t understand how investing works, or they don’t have a deep understanding and respect for the art of investing. They also make very bold claims in regards to returns they generate. I just want to share the exchange between myself and this person or bot, and follow up with more of my remarks on the matter below.

IG Trader/Bot: “Hey bro.”

Me: What can I do for you?”

IG Trader/Bot: “I’m Jack from Florida a Trader and I’m amazingly good at it. You can check my IG to see proof. I have an account management proposal for you (copy trading). It’s a platform that will empower you and let you EARN income even while you’re BUSY.
I can put you through a Trade to make a ROI of 160% Bi-weekly.
What do you say?”

Me: “No thanks.

I decided to share my frustrations with some of my followers via my Instagram story:

Me: “Tired of bots and people messaging me about this stuff. Most people have not done any thorough research and analysis, on how investing or trading works. They just try to gamble and think they can entice others. I barely know enough about finance & I spend 20hrs a week learning, writing and thinking about it. 160% ROI means your money would literally double in less than a year.

Compounding money at that rate for 30 years would put you at billionaire status and beyond. GTFOH! (Get the fuck out of here!). Let’s not forget the fees generated through short term selling of securities. Oh not to mention the taxable implications of realized gains or losses, as well as any taxes on qualified dividends. People get on my fucking nerves with their ignorance, and arrogance on investing and trading.

It’s not easy to generate good returns on invested capital at a consistent clip over time. Especially in an interest rate/inflationary environment like today. It’s not impossible to earn 160% on an investment or a trade. However….the the risk profile on that would probably be pretty substantial. Not to mention the discipline it would take, as well as the ability to execute nearly perfect trades, depending on the asset class. (God forbid it’s crypto 😫).

Whenever I begin assessing short term trading, I’ll see for myself if the hype is real. Tired of these heathens. I gotta get this run in and hit legs. Sick of the internet already. 😤 People start investing and think they’re Jim Simmons, Stanley Druckenmiller, Carl Icahn, or Warren Buffett. Sit your ass down and read.

Learn how some of it works before you go around “presenting investment opportunities” in which you have zero understanding. I say it almost every episode…when you invest in the stock market you become a business owner. You own a fractional piece of a publicly traded business. It’s far better to think like a business owner as opposed to a gambler. And no trading and investing are not mutually exclusive or synonymous, or the same.

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, for the sake of convenience. And that’s no knock to short term traders. I find trading interesting enough to have potential in terms of a speculative/separate strategy.”
