The Jevon's paradox example of plummeting costs to create videos doesn't make sense to me. If people are already watching 7 hours of videos a day how much more time do they have to consume video? There are only 24 hours in a day. Earth is only so large and can only handle so much pollution. There are limits we need to talk about here. I guess Elon hand waves it away by saying we'll go into space but that remains to be seen.

I still watch the 7 hours of video every day, but the Instagram/TikTok algorithm can now find the perfect videos for me by choosing between 1000 hours of created video instead of the pre-AI 100 hours.
