Yesterday I was feeling especially gloomy & went to the park & sat. I talked to someone there.
He is an wheelchair & is fighting an injury he got on the bus. He had a lot to say about the government we agreed on.
He talked about how the War in Irsael goes back to the Bible. He shared about the scouts sent into Israel in the Bible. He talked about ‘fake Christians’ in the government. He shared with me the story of Elijah & the prophets of Baal: Baal’s prophets lose, God’s prophet wins, & Elijah’s taken into heaven just like God promised.
He shared with me some of his lifestyle I think he shouldn’t do, but claimed some fundamental truths of the Gospel including Jesus was God who died for his sins & he believes that.
I didn’t say much but listened, & he didn’t mind that. A lot of the time you help people more by just being an ear

They’re rolling out Andrew Yang once more. I posted what he said a few years ago about Ai and jobs and here we go again. They’re preparing the public for universal basic income. And before you trust the government I suggest you review the welfare amount in your state and unemployment. They’ve never been overly generously to the needy. Stimulus payments were an anomaly and impacted by inflation and taxes.

Most of you aren’t retirement age and it was announced a few days ago that social security and medicare will be bankrupt in 8 or 9 years respectively. If you read the article you’ll notice the time is speeding up and you don’t know what they’ll put in its place. It’s better to be prudent and have an extra income stream than find yourself on the wrong side of changes you can’t control. This isn‘t speculation it’s a certainty.

All the jobs are overseas. Technology didn't replace them. They got moved to people making a buck a day in a sweatshop in Asia somewhere.

Most companies don’t have the tech for AI. It’s all too specialized.

It's a bunch of people in suits saying the end is near to get people to think a certain way

Yang would be an intersting candidate if the Democrats want to move away from Establishment picks

Many went overseas for a time but they won’t be untouched by Ai. I posted an exchange sometime ago with the CEO of BlackRock and the Prime Minster of India. He acknowledged his concerns about humanoid robots and the impact they’d have on their economy. I don’t think you understand how eager they are to displace as many people as they can so they won’t have to pay them.

There was an announcement last week regarding an Ai music label being started by Timbaland. He’s a well-known producer. There’s already firms operating that allow you to license your likeness for a fee. But they’re the anomalies. Most people won’t have that choice.

There’s a lot of consolidation taking place as we speak and it will be hard to compete for most. The bulk of the jobs at risk are white collar and low skilled positions. I’m looking at the data on a daily basis and there’s white papers confirming the same. I don’t rely on the mainstream media for my information. I‘ll post a source that’s familiar to inform. But I go further than that for myself.

While I don’t use Ai on a personal basis that doesn’t mean I won’t invest in the same. ;-)

I hate adding my aunt to my signature, but she deserves the honor.
If she has been called by God thru faith in Christ, she has entered into eternal life. She has won the race thru him. He has given all honor to her in full <3
If there is anything good or lovely, meditate on that

One of the things the Lord's been showing me lately is look at 'what is the end fruit' of choices. Not in the short-term. But in the long-term. Over generations even. It produces good fruit in the long term, or ultimately destruction (damnation)

I read this today. It’s a good reminder. “You can never dominate and rule your world if you don’t know the power of what you say. Your words are what create your world. And the name you call your problem is what it will answer.”
