This is always the indicator I look for whether or not someone actually knows what they’re talking about.

If you can’t extrapolate on your own thesis you can’t be knowledgeable in the field.

Good example was a guy on here who was convinced every company would be ran by one person because of AI. You’d wake up in the morning and decide which products your AI came up with while you slept would be profitable. The obvious next question is “then why are you even involved?”




I agree, I was actually leaving the question open-ended because I can't necessarily scale it all the way up, it's too complex. Why would they even rent me AIs when they can just be every company? Who is "they"?

All that needs to be understood is that the narcissistic grandeur delusion that you will singularly be positioned to benefit from sweeping restructuring of how we understand labor must be forcibly divested from some people's brains.

Only a very select few are positioned to benefit from this and even their benefit is only just mostly guaranteed rather than perfectly guaranteed.
