We went from “how can AI be useful to me” to “how can I be useful to AI”. Or headed that way.

Very nicely worded!

Everybody needs to think about how they can become the "human in the loop" in any AI based system. Whether we like it or not, all companies are looking to be AI primary and Human secondary with the only limiting factor being cost.

It’s very uncomfortable. But yes, need to figure out how you differentiate and create extreme value with AI.
I just agreed to my first terms of engagement with a company to do this very thing. There is strong demand for enabling SMB, especially tech adjacent businesses to do and know more for less. The job loses in the coming quarters will not be limited to technology.

Personally I think governments will force higher taxes on AI companies driving up the cost of tokens exponentially sooner than later. Paying a politician to pass favorable legislation becomes more difficult when their constituents are in food lines. Not impossible, but difficult. The best solution I think is good leadership. We don’t have that at the moment. That’s not just a “Trump thing,” though his open grift and dishonesty is really dangerous, we need leaders who can see and understand the moving parts and make decisions that benefit us all.
