AI adoption and capabilities are distributed bimodally across industries.
Writing-heavy professions like writing, law, software are feeling it first. It doesn't feel that way because other industries are still untouched. That may continue for long or it might not.
It's always calmest before the storm

The board revolt at OpenAI reminds me of my favorite idea from Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens.
The idea of the imagined intersubjective order. Companies are concepts of our collective imaginations. We call them legal entities and assign liability to them. They can be a vehicle for capturing value created by humans. They receive tax assessments. They can even be sued — absolving the people in charge of direct responsibility.
Yet, a company can be dissolved and reincarnated elsewhere by having the employees simply say they resigned and have moved to a new company. And that's how we keep lawyers employed. Tricks of our own cognition.
