It's shocking to me no one is talking about how Claude Fable is essentially a confirmation of the death of intellectual capital, and that it's happening now. Not 10 years from now, not 5 years from now, but literally right now. We used to romanticize stories of people born into lower socioeconomic conditions (say in the third world) and rising out of it through their intellect. That story, that ladder of social mobility, is completely dead now.

Anecdotally in my org (low down biotech), the AI users are quite few.

Of those that use AI, most have finally cleared out their backlogs that were just never ending before AI. That took about 3 years to accomplish.

Now they have the time to do more ambitious projects. And many are doing just that.

I do not see AI taking jobs, I see it more as everyone got a great secretary/junior to offload 'busy' work onto.

Think of even the lower level employees now having access to some of the time saving labor that the old robber barons and fat cats had with legions of secretaries and go-get-em younguns.

Time will tell what becomes of all this, it still very early days, but I mostly see the effects of AI in my current life as like a tool. A great multi-tool, sure, but still just a tool.

If it was that good SpaceX ipo would have died as Fable would design a one shot super duper rocket…

A lot is hype

Many people think the social mobility came through intellectual feats, but when you look at it carefully, it came through agency and ownership.

This was the whole point. A secure, politically active middle class will be too obstructive to the new aristocracy.
