WORK — The Meaning of Productivity

_{Held on September 18, 2026}

We are promised a life of frictionless existence,
By creators of infinite amusement. A life without
The definition of reality that's felt against our wills:
Degrees of pain. To feel is to know by contact with the outside.

To find work is to define a responsibility for a portion of a life.

The same companies that finance data centers at a cost of $27,000,000,000.00 for 6 square miles are advertising their new software is altering a majority of professions. Yes, some professions will disappear because a software tool (a.k.a. Large Language Models, a.k.a. LLMs, a.k.a. “Agents”, a.k.a. “An Angry Mob that has a 10% chance of ending Humanity by the end of the decade.”) has altered:

The Approach
The Existing Tools
The Context

Of your profession.

The Approach

The way that was done, is no longer done. In the history of the United States, several periods of disruption from technology has caused the erasure of an entire type of employment or occupation. After the Reconstruction era, the United States experienced a period of rapid industrial expansion causing visible poverty and a real wage growth of 40% from 1860 to 1890. The change that happened was the activation of laborers from the fields into the factories. With the following innovation of electric light in the late 1890s, the activity became even more intensified. Throughout the and the automobile, horse populations declined

For many that want to find a purpose in life, it is through the Dignity of a stable career, saving enough to retire, and moving on to other aspects of their lives.

How are we to take this into account as quantity of dollars several times a lifetime of earnings are being thrown by?

EDUCATION — Linguistic Skills in Schools

Held on October 9, 2026

The conversation for “Linguistic Skills in Schools” revolved around a few different topics. Education, Communication, Originality, Learning, and current news: bioweapons, cyberattacks, and guardrails.The group was small and lively with expert opinions from Higher Ed, the Music Industry, and the Film Industry.

There is a reckoning for higher education for evaluations of students on comprehension of the material for a professional degree. One homework assignment to a class of 30 people will tend to result in similar papers due not to comprehension but by asking a SLiME Tool to generate a sequence of text. A solution has been to change the metric proportioning to decrease the weight of assignments that can be done outside of the classroom. The abilities of students were made clear when a class's average score on homework would be 100% while their average text score coming in at 40%. By dropping the weight from 50-50 to 20-80 the courses incentivized studying for the in-classroom examination, which would be proctored for instructor-approved usages of artificial intelligence.

How we teach matters in results and self-description. Artificial intelligence software like large language models define the patterns of output with guardrails with “hidden rules”—Like how the open-weight models from China do not acknowledge the actions at Tiananmen Square in June 1989—to know these patterns exist and provide the models to our youth is a breach of duty to younger generations.What words is Google Gemini avoiding, or concepts that Claude is trained to guide us towards? If the source cannot be validated for authenticity, how may we trust the validity of advice or information given to us, especially to teach unsupervised?
