I think humans will be weirdly sticky in a world after Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) in the same way that bookstores have been in a post-Amazon world. Interacting with a human is an aesthetic experience. It is pleasant to interact with an actual human. It is pleasant to read an actual human. It is pleasant to be taught by an actual human....

1. Start with a Structural Analogy
Identify a complex system in one domain (LLMs in language) and map it to a well-understood system in another (index funds in finance). Ensure the analogy is not superficial—seek systemic parallels in behavior, incentives, and emergent dynamics.
2. Establish Historical Precedent
Introduce a real-world, data-backed... See more

Marvin Minsky, "We're going to make machines intelligent. We are going to make them conscious!"
Doug Engelbart replied, "You're going to do all that for the machines? What are you going to do for the people?"
The book tackles a wide range of issues

which fundamental assumptions in how we charge for work will shift,
what happens to junior workers,

The more I meet people who've gone deep into generating AI media, the more I realize we're all reaching the same conclusion: this is a new medium. Not an evolution of something else. Something entirely new, the way photography and film were new.
To understand any medium, you need to look beyond its surface to its core.... See more

“Time Well Spent” is a better metric for content than popularity (likes, clicks, or views). But the internet doesn’t reward that - nearly every content platform today is optimized for popularity, not value, and this has led us astray, promoting fear based, viral content instead of things that are worth our time.
