Two groups of people tell me the future is decided. One says a dystopian hellhole is inevitable. The other says abundance is inevitable. Completely different futures, both hiding a faulty core assumption: “inevitability.”
Everything A.I. can do, it learned from us. Our language. Our knowledge. Our data. But are you seeing the returns, or just the disruption? We all deserve better!
The barrier between having an idea and reaching a million people has never been smaller. So why are most brilliant ideas still dying in someone's head?
A few days ago I asked A.I. to summarize an article for me. The article was about how speed has become more important than depth. It took me a second to get the irony.
If work feels draining, housing feels impossible, healthcare feels deadly, and debt feels endless… that's not a coincidence. It's our economic operating system working exactly as designed.
You’re not broke because you made bad choices. You’re broke because the system needs you to stay that way. This isn't a conspiracy. It's just "good capitalism."
Everybody's asking "Will A.I. take my job?" but the right question is: “What happens if A.I. actually succeeds?” If A.I. eliminates human labor, who's left to buy anything??
A lot of people seem to think that if the A.I. bubble bursts, A.I. goes away. But that's not how bubbles work.
Replacing capitalism sounds terrifying. And that fear you feel? It's not irrational… it's been carefully designed.
I'm optimistic about the coming crisis. Not despite it… BECAUSE of it.
