Things are not looking good for career starters

Artificial intelligence is increasingly threatening the traditional entry-level jobs that have formed the basis of many young people's careers to date.

An explanation-thread 1/13 LinkedIn's Chief Economic Opportunity Officer Aneesh Raman compares the current development with the collapse of US industry in the 1980s - except that today it is not factory jobs that are affected, but office jobs.

AI and longevity - and what happens next Brief update

Hello friends,

as you know I love to write and above all I love to dig deep into science. I don't have a clue about all fields of knowledge, but I love to do research and learn new things.

The last two years I have been deeply involved in artificial intelligence - and I will continue to do so. AI will remain my focus, simply because I firmly believe that AI will be the most transformative technology since the industrial revolution.
The vast majority of people still underestimate what change is coming and I am amazed and shocked by the apathy and lack of interest. This is one of the reasons why I will continue to provide regular and in-depth analyses of AI.
In the near future, I will also be initiating completely new processes and launching new projects: stay tuned. I'm not saying anything yet, but it's going to be great!

I also get a lot of questions about what I think about longevity, how best to prepare for the future in this regard and so on. That's why I'll be focussing more and more on longevity and research alongside AI. What are the latest scientific findings and breakthroughs? What should we eat to stay healthy and fit?

So in addition to AI, I will also include longevity.

As you can see, I'm trying to expand my presence and create even more well-researched content. I'm always happy to receive feedback, my DMs are still open to everyone. And if you want, you can support me via buymeacoffee or similar.

Thank you very much

You are the Best!

P.s.: because so many people have asked me what I do about longevity. I myself do weight training four times a week, occasionally endurance sports (running and cycling), used to do a lot of martial arts, and regularly take vitamin D3+K2, omega 3 fatty acids (4g) and creatine in addition to protein (2x body weight). Even if my name suggests otherwise: in reality I am not Chubby ;) The name is a reference to an old YouTube video. buymeacoffee.com/kimmonismus

OpenAI's-Team AMA on Reddit: best of

A thread 🧵

No. 1: recursive self-improvement probably a hard take off Image generator still in the making

DeepSeek strikes again: Janus-Pro 1b, 7b

"Janus-Pro is a novel autoregressive framework that unifies multimodal understanding and generation. It addresses the limitations of previous approaches by decoupling visual encoding into separate pathways, while still utilizing a single, unified transformer architecture for processing.

The decoupling not only alleviates the conflict between the visual encoder’s roles in understanding and generation, but also enhances the framework’s flexibility. Janus-Pro surpasses previous unified model and matches or exceeds the performance of task-specific models. The simplicity, high flexibility, and effectiveness of Janus-Pro make it a strong candidate for next-generation unified multimodal models."

I read the whole AMA with @OpenAI and especially @sama . In this thread I post everything they said about Sora, new models, AGI, o1 and so on. Usually I don’t do threads, but this time: it’s a 🧵
