      Striking statistics; the reason for dramatic increase is not cancer or heart disease but "deaths of despair"—suicide, addiction, overdose... https://twitter.com/MattZeitlin/status/845027987972149248 …

      And this is off by about 45-50 years. Don't think people get what's coming down the pike with AI + connectivity.https://twitter.com/danprimack/status/845255965071069184 …

      Mnuchin says concerns about AI affecting U.S. jobs is so far away "it's not even on our radar screen.... 50-100 more years" away. WOW.

      Much AI press has been focused on interesting but largely irrelevant stuff. Chess. Trolleys. Real criteria: "good enough" to do human task.

      Not only is "good enough" coming down fast, AI plus connectivity means that people will be even more replaced with "cheaper" ones abroad.

      Won't just be AI; won't just be outsourcing. It'll be someone in Bangalore doing a task in Kansas; aided by AI, paid pennies. Already here.

      Same way Facebook employs so few well-paid people in the US. It automates most tasks; pays people in Philippines etc. to do rest cheap.

      This business model —not just tech but coming to many industries—isn't compatible with a robust democracy AND current form of globalization.

      I feel we're living in the next chapter of Tuchman's great book, "The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam". All this is solvable. sigh.

          Things *briefly* stabilized after the *second* global war; efforts like Marshall plan, EU, UN—happened under shadow of nuclear brinkmanship.
