🚨STANI: ETHEREUM FOUNDATION’S IVORY TOWER ACADEMIC APPROACH IS DISCONNECTED FROM BUILDERS! Aave founder @StaniKulechov says almost everyone with common sense is against EIP-8361 and it may rank as one of Ethereum’s most resisted proposals ever, second only to ProgPoW. He argues the EF’s academic style won’t solve the real challenges. What people actually want is focus on problems that drive demand and make the network more competitive.

Sam Altman's new interview: AI should not be designed to pursue goals that are disconnected from human needs. People must remain at the center of AI development. “I have no interest in building a super-smart AI that accomplishes some non-human goals. People should react. People should say, ‘Hey, this is what I want, and this is what I do not want.’ I do not think the issue is that we have failed to explain the benefits. We say, ‘AI is going to cure a bunch of diseases,’ and people say, ‘Okay, that is great, but that is not really my question. My question is: What is my role in the future? What is my economic future? What is my agency? How do I know that my kids and my family will still be able to have fulfilling, creative expression, struggle, drive the world forward, grow, and do this thing together in a way that has worked for a long time?’ When people in AI say, ‘Sure, there are going to be no jobs,’ or ‘50% of jobs are going to go away,’ or ‘90% of jobs are going to go away,’ and ‘AI is going to be smarter than you at everything,’ and ‘We will give you some basic income, but you are not really going to have a role,’ that is horrible. And by the way, if an AI company says, ‘Maybe we are going to destroy all the jobs, and we will be the most valuable company in the world,’ people should look at you like, ‘Yeah, that is a terrible message.’ I do not think the problem is that we have not articulated the upsides. I think people actually believe us. They hear, ‘AI may cure your cancer,’ and they think, ‘That sounds great.’ I think we, as an industry, have failed to explain how people stay in control of determining the future at every step, and how people can still have a meaningful life in all the ways we care about.” ---- From "CNBC Television" YouTube channel, (link in comment)

Deputy Nolan said the Minister’s suggestion that dentists are unwilling or unable to treat medical‑card patients because they are prioritising “Botox and other things” was “deeply unfair, inflammatory, and completely disconnected from the reality facing dental practices across the State.”

This video says a lot about society nowadays. This woman is admitted to the hospital with her husband right by her side, but she's still tripping and putting even the unborn baby at high risk. 🤰 It’s wild to see how disconnected people can be from reality when it matters most🤯
