to be honest, this version of the future looks both realistic and more positive than the no-work utopia (which would be both impossible and likely undesirable).
i definitely feel most excited for the artists and community builders. growing personalisation in taste and style will give more opportunity for more creators and will hopefully make the world a more interesting place.
i have a paper that was recently accepted for a conference that details how LLMs are fundamentally limited by degeneracy of natural language so it is unlikely that any such system will be able to handle complex problems without significantly enhancing contextual constraints:
so in my view the promises of universal problem solvers will fall short and much of the bubble will burst as ppl realize how much more time they have to spend getting them working reliably and how often they get in the way of actually doing the thing you want to through their hallucinations and missteps that always take you 1 step forward and 15 steps in other directions all at onc
Very reasonable, I err on the skeptical side for how holistically AI will overtake us in any given capacity, but definitely some strong solution unlocks and scale of impact, big companies to be built in the mean time …

a no-work society feels far more empty and chaotic however we imagine it, though interesting to ponder

i've been pondering on community and audience building for a while... this felt like some form of validation...
thanks for sharing... big fan here...
ah great — thanks for reading!
