AI is here - we just haven't noticed it yet. An entire class of problems are fairly solvable with the current tech with good unit economics, the market is still figuring itself out.

If you think AI is going to replace your job, it probably is. But that's only true if you consider your job to be the motions you go through day to day and not the problems you solve.

We are about to have a seemingly infinite army of mid-low skill workers standing by 24/7 to do our tasks for $0.002 a pass. It's time to start thinking about how you'd deploy that army at your daily tasks and integrate their resulting work. We're all leaders now.

This is a utopia. We're just too "in the thick of it" to realize it is.

How soon will this army get effectors? I don't need any mid-skill help in symbol manipulation; I could use it in meatspace.
The effectors will be human, the cheapest option by far.
Do you think we would have to pay anything at all in a utopia?
In a utopia we won't pay to enable consumption, it'll be our moral duty to avoid lack of it.

"So essential when there was under-production; but in an age of machines and the fixation of nitrogen-positively a crime against society."
