The old model works at tens of millions, not hundreds of billions.

The first computers were the size of buildings, now look where we are. I think same thing will happen to AI models. We will have a reasoning core installed on our phone connected to Google's Knowledge Graph or Ontology project via API. These companies just need to survive long enough to make themselves irreplaceable in the new ecosystem.

Wealth tax is tax from sitting on your ass doing nothing.

Related point is monetary system and monetary plumbing should be boring like electricity or water supply but because of distortions making money out of money has become the hottest thing.

The real problem is our politicians aren't representing our people. All these other issues of wasteful spending and money printing and inflation and whatnot are downstream of that main crux of problem. People don't hate wealthy perse but when laypeople aren't provided proper means of living, they will try anything as a solution, even throwing a wrench in the system. That's how we got Trump.

There are other axes as well.

Companies with AI will move faster than those without.

AI itself could subsume what we collectively consider as Engineering Taste.

AI is faster at what it does. So even if a junior costs less on his own than AI. Paying extra for AI means gaining first mover advantage.

Universe is the Godel sentence in the limit of all possible mathematics. Hence it exists and is True.

Fix axioms, we get a Godel sentence G1. Add G1 to axioms, we get G2. So on and so forth. In the limit of this process, we have our Universe.

Complexity of our human world has gone up so much that humanity actually needs something like AI to ensure further progress. It's impossible to expect a human to learn all the fields in a shallow manner (and be a generalist politician) or one field in full depth (ie expert to push the frontier).

The individual is his own construction company in this scenario. Just like the construction company has to advertise itself to keep getting contracts, here the individual has to do the same with employers. The analogy is not superficial.

Someone commented on X. US markets are never going down again just like Weimar Republic stock markets never did.

Don't do the mistake of shorting Weimar Stock markets.

Noisy signals about tech literate people is still a signal. If only few experts are planting fake data about themselves, companies can cordon you off and spend more resources in deanonymizing you. By muddying the water, you are planting a target on yourself if many others aren't doing it.

Doesn't ASML have Engineers who work with TSMC to make sure their complex machines works optimally within their manufacturing facility? How is this any different?

When I don't have time, I just ask AI to summarize the main points and expand on the point I like. I do this with even HN discussions. I just copy the whole HN page and paste into Claude and ask it to summarize and deduplicate talking points.
