Most people (i.e. average person) aren't really going to care about this stuff. It's more that owners / companies (and their investors) in general will benefit tremendously this (almost disproportionately so). The need to hire will decrease, so you will be able to do more with less people, and capital becomes less dist...
And honestly, thinking of the average person, it seems like they are going to get left behind. Most people aren’t owners, they aren’t equipped to be owners, and they are happy/unknowingly being sucked into coasting through life / consumption / entertainment. Maybe the right AI education tool will come along that coul

One of the things that continues to surprise me is the speed at which things are changing. What I mean by that specifically is even tools like Claude Co-work and Claude for Excel that just launched. If you've used it, you quickly realize that you're never going to learn Excel commands again. And then I think about all...
AI people speak of a “transition” to a new era. But a transition is a period of change that ends. AI will *permanently increase the rate of change*. Before the AI transition is over, a new one will begin—genetic engineering, nanotech, whatever. It's all transition from here on out

I was just recalling that short story called "Funes the Memorious" by Jorge Luis Borges. It is about a man who remembers everything. Every leaf, every moment, every sensation. He can't think. He can't abstract. He's drowning in specificity. Who you are is what you remember

yeah in the longer run, if you wanna complain you should complain if you want to get wasted or smoke cigarettes - badly, i say go for it life is too short to not enjoy it and bitch about it if you feel inclined it helps sometimes to acknowledge the consequences imo
is there a point on this scale where it tips back to negative (something something emotional repression?)

My general feeling the past couple of years I've noticed is that the opposite of complaining (whether publicly or privately) affects my physical health - when I complain I feel worse, and when I do the opposite of complaining, it actually makes me feel better
