mapping our AI future
It means a transition from a knowledge economy to an allocation economy. You won’t be judged on how much you know, but instead on how well you can allocate and manage the resources to get work done.

Now the shift from AI curated to AI created happens inside private AI chats. Instead of selecting from that common shelf of public posts, the AI system generates the narrative, the examples, the “context,” the emotional framing just for you. A belief can congeal around outputs that exist only in your chat history. There is no public post to label... See more

It isn’t stored in any archive, and the neural networks cannot be inward with what it feels like to be you, right now, looking at these words, looking away from these words to think about your life and our lives, turning from all this to your day and to what you
The AI handles the execution at scale while you maintain the coherence. This division of labor plays to the strengths of each party: humans are good at integration and judgment, while AI is good at execution and volume. The solo operator with AI gets the benefits of scale without the costs of coordination.
