On the reverse side\, people using modern c omputing as a crutch to get through their labors without working is true t oo. It isn't that they are learning nothing. The problem isn't how people are using the tools but how the tools are used in context with fiscal capi talism. \n\n For example\, a child in an indios/native American  village with a connection to the internet is not going to become financially weal thy through the use of modern computing. It isn't an accident that inherit ance is still the majority delivery of wealth between generations. All the models of fiscal wealth building and you still have people selling some t echnology can break that mold. In modernity\, the tools to learning are mo re expansive\, more interwoven than arguably any time before in human hist ory. But\, work ethic or learning has never been connected to fiscal wealt h. Again\, if work ethic or learning led to fiscal wealth\, every single e nslaved populace in the history of humanity would had ended up fiscally we althy. History proves most if not all enslaved populaces do not end up fis cally wealthy and if anything end up being branches of the slaving populac e. Why? because wealth is about destructive power\, and knowledge isn't in herently destructive power\, nor is education destructive power\, nor is w ork ethic destructive power. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Bill Duke [ https://x.co m/RealBillDuke ] reposted\n\n Mark Cuban just described the sharpest divid e in the modern economy. And most people are already on the wrong side of it.\n\n Cuban: “There’s two types of approaches to AI. Some people who use it so they don’t have to learn anything\, and some people who use i t so they have the opportunity to learn everything.”\n\n Two sentences. The entire future of human capital compressed into a single binary.\n\n Th e first group sees the most powerful knowledge infrastructure ever built a nd uses it to avoid thinking. They offload reasoning\, skip the friction\, and call it efficiency.\n\n What they’re actually doing is hollowing ou t the one thing that can’t be replicated.\n\n Their own cognition.\n\n C uban: “AI is a tool\, it’s a way to learn\, it’s a democratization o f knowledge.”\n\n For centuries\, elite knowledge was locked behind inst itutions\, geography\, and capital. The right university. The right city. The right network.\n\n Entire generations of potential buried because the information was never accessible.\n\n That wall just came down permanently .\n\n The second group understands what that actually means.\n\n Same tool . Compressing decades of learning into months. Entire disciplines on deman d. \n\n Mental models that once required years of expensive education now available to anyone willing to ask the right questions.\n\n The knowledge is democratized. The ambition is not.\n\n That’s the divide Cuban is ac tually describing. Not technical literacy. Not access.\n\n Pure cognitive initiative.\n\n The first group is outsourcing their mind. The second is e xpanding it.\n\n Atrophy doesn’t announce itself. It just arrives.\n\n h ttps://x.com/r0ck3t23/status/2031003976619962406\n\n\n\ n  \n\n\n\n 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲 𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 | 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻\n\n from Ann - Michelle Thurmond \n\n URL\n\n https://www.linkedin.com/posts/amthurmond_aistrategy-operatin gmodel-governance-activity-7431680492623638528-Z9je?utm_source=share&\; utm_medium=member_desktop&\;rcm=ACoAAC9jwHcBhMdyfurNH2JmdlAPjJgXHivmWR8 \n\n EMBED\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n MY REPLY\n\n yeah\, exactly\, compu ters are here\, no matter the power level\, and definitely at the level ca lled AI. So the issue is how to use them. And in the usa i argue\, the sam e model is being used as in the gold/oil rushes.  most are spending money on tech they can't afford or will cost them eventually\, like land deeds or spikes. The profiteers are the ones providing services and buying and r eselling or leasing products. but they are also learning the better practi ces. it is a hands on approach. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n POST URL\n\n\n\n LEar ning USing Modern Computing\n\n\n\n If you were teaching a person in your home today\, any age\, how would you use or not use the computer programmi ng commonly called artificially intelligent?\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/ topic/12583-learning-using-modern-computing/\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n PRIOR EDIT ION\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/664-economic-corner-36-02282 026/\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n NEXT EDITION\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/events/e vent/676-economic-corner-38-03102026/\n\n\n\n \n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260310 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
